So unfortunate that people discuss more on remuneration of heroines rather than debating on incomes of top star heroes. In fact, pay-cheques offered for heroines are mere pea-nuts compared to heroes like Rajinikanth or Kamal Hasan. Never media gets so deep to unravel these facts. But, what we are now hearing from Tamil sources is about Kamal Hasan crossing the highest pay scale mark of Rajinikanth with upcoming release ‘Vishwaroopam.’ Perhaps, our current top Telugu heroes are no match to Rajini and Kamal in this business point of view.
Although Universal Star himself is acting as one of the producers cum director and hero of ‘Vishwaroopam’ yet he is reportedly charged a mind blowing sum of Rs.48 Crores for taking up the later two responsibilities. In the film, Kamal will again play multiple characters. Well, it’s not the right time to talk on his acting abilities and he is now conferred as the highest paid actor till date. ‘Vishwaroopam’ slated for an International release in multiple languages, there is every scope for film to establish new range of trade for our South cinema.
