The news about the collaboration of Atlee and Icon Star Allu Arjun has been all-over the news since a couple of days. Even a video showing the story sittings of Atlee with his direction team went viral. Director Atlee Kumar after directing the record-shattering Bollywood film ‘Jawan’ with Shah Rukh Khan, everyone's buzzing about his next project.
Well his next is finalised with Allu Arjun who is currently busy with 'Pushpa 2 The Rule'. Meanwhile, Atlee will lock his script and complete post production works for the film. Now, all discussions are leading towards Atlee's reported director's fee. According to whispers in the industry, Atlee might be commanding a whopping Rs 60 crore to helm this project. That's a staggering sum that could potentially make him one of the highest-paid directors in the country. While it's not officially confirmed yet.
Many feel after a commercial juggernaut, ‘Jawan’ which raked in over Rs 1148 crore worldwide. Studios know Atlee can deliver blockbusters, and that star power translates to big bucks. Allu Arjun himself is also a bigger star. He's a massive star in Telugu cinema, and his recent film ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ took India by storm. The upcoming sequel, ‘Pushpa: The Rule,’ is gearing up for a grand release on Independence Day, August 15th, 2024. Packed with action, romance, and music by the award-winning Devi Sri Prasad, the movie promises to be another crowd-pleaser.
Allu Arjun and Atlee's combination will surely make sparks fly at the boxoffice right from its pre release business. Hotshot music director Anirudh being a part of this project also adds more prospects and value. If Pushpa 2 become a hit, then there is now wonder, that Allu Arjun and Atlee's film might even cross RS 1000 crores business. Considering all these, the high paycheck in circulation is not something a mere rumour.
