Speculation on Vijayashanti remuneration for Kalyan Ram next .Kalyan Ram, the star of 'Devil,' is all set to headline the next project helmed by director Pradeep Chilkuri. Notably, this upcoming film also features the esteemed actress often referred to as 'Lady Amitabh,' Vijayashanti, in a pivotal role. Currently, the topic of discussion revolves around Vijayashanti's remuneration for this project.
Remarkably, even during the ongoing election season in Telangana, Vijayashanti, who has transitioned into a political role as a BJP leader, has graciously allocated her schedule for the film's shooting, which has taken many by surprise. According to an insider, she is set to earn a substantial remuneration of Rs 4 crore for dedicating 35 to 40 days of her time to Kalyan Ram's film. Her willingness to balance her political commitments with her role in the film is a testament to her commitment.
Vijayashanti's return to the silver screen was heralded by her role in Mahesh Babu's "Sarileru Neekevvaru," where she garnered acclaim for her portrayal of an upright woman fighting against local politicians alongside her children. Given her involvement in politics, she has grown selective about her film roles. In fact, she has declined several offers that failed to excite her, prioritizing roles that offer substance and maintain her dignity and stature.
Her last appearance in a film was in "Naayudamma," released in 2006, marking her comeback to the screen after a hiatus of 13 years with "Sarileru Neekevvaru." Historically, Vijayashanti was a trailblazer in Telugu cinema, known for her iconic performances in women-centric films such as "Kartavyam," "Osey Ramulamma," and "Police Lockup." Additionally, she had the distinction of being a leading lady alongside superstars like Krishna, Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, and Venkatesh, solidifying her status as a top-tier heroine in Telugu cinema during the 80s and 90s.
