Varun Tej Paid Far Less To His Co-star And Director

F3, a sequel to Anil Ravipudi’s blockbuster film F2 is all set to go on floors from early in 2021. Venkatesh, Varun Tej, Tamannaah and Mehreen Kaur Pirzada will retain their respective roles, whereas Sunil is the new addition to the project. Dil Raju will be producing the film on high budget. 

As per reports, Dil Raju is spending 60 percent of budget just on remuneration. Although senior star Venkatesh who doesn’t have a big market is paid a whopping Rs 12 crores, wherein Varun Tej who is in good form with consecutive hits is offered Rs 8 crores for the film. This is far less to Venky and director Anil Ravipudi who is charging 12 Cr. 

Apparently, Varun Tej accepted to take home less pay compared to his co-star as a mark of respect to the senior hero. The makers assure of triple the fun and Anil Ravipudi worked for months over the script during the lockdown period along with his writing team.
