Vijay, the celebrated South Indian actor, has achieved a new milestone by becoming the highest-paid Indian actor, with a whopping Rs 275 crore salary for his upcoming film 'Thalapathy 69', as reported by Filmibeat. Vijay, who has consistently delivered box office hits, has seen his stardom soar across regions. 'Thalapathy 69' is especially significant as
Vijay has announced it will be his last film before shifting his focus entirely to politics, marking his much-anticipated political entry.
Expectations for 'Thalapathy 69' are already at an all-time high, even before its official announcement. The film is being produced by a popular production house that has delivered several blockbusters in Kannada and Telugu and is now making its entry into Kollywood with this film. By securing Vijay with a record-breaking salary, 'Thalapathy 69' has surpassed the earnings of
Shah Rukh Khan, who was paid Rs 250 crore, making Vijay the highest-paid actor in India.
An official announcement about 'Thalapathy 69' is expected later today (Sep 13), and excitement is building as this will be Vijay's first collaboration with director H Vinoth. The director has promised that 'Thalapathy 69' will be a full-fledged commercial entertainer catering to all audiences, with no political themes despite Vijay's planned political career.
As Vijay's recent release 'GOAT' completes its first week in theaters, the makers of 'Thalapathy 69' are preparing to ramp up the hype with a series of updates for fans, starting soon.
