Here is a brief report on the recent remuneration of Kollywood stars.
Rajinikanth
Rajinikanth’s remuneration is still increasing with every new film. Rajinikanth’s compensation for his recent release Petta (2019) is 65 Cr. INR.
Rajinikanth’s remuneration for his upcoming film with AR Murugadoss is a whopping 100 Cr. INR. However, close to real figures can only be obtained after the box-office collection details are discussed in the media platform.
Vijay
Actor Vijay is fondly called Thalapathy (commander) of Tamil cinema. He is only next to actor Rajinikanth is terms of Box-Office (BO) returns. The remuneration figure for his previous film Sarkar (2018) is 35 Cr. INR.
Vijay’s remuneration for his upcoming film with director Atlee is speculated to be 50 Cr. INR. However, close to real figures can only be obtained after the box-office collection details are discussed in the media platform.
Ajith
Ajith has an incredible fan following in Tamil Nadu. He does absolutely zero promotions for his film, yet the crowd goes crazy to watch their favorite star on the silver screen. Ajith is considered a leading competitor to actor Vijay.
Ajith’s remuneration for his past film Viswasam is 35 Cr. INR. This recent movie reportedly collected over 125 Cr. in Tamil Nadu alone. Following the success, the actor has signed two consecutive projects under the production of Boney Kapoor. It is being discussed in the media that the actor has incidentally signed the two films for a whopping total of 105 Crores.
Kamal Hassan
A competitor to Rajinikanth at once, Kamal Hassan has seen a steady decline in his acting career in recent times. The actor reportedly received 15 Cr. for the reality show big boss in Tamil. If the sources are to be believed the actor has been offered 20 Cr. for his role in Indian 2 under the direction of Shankar.
Surya
Surya has been maintaining a steady salary with most of his recent films produced by his home productions. Surya is having lukewarm responses for his previous three films 24, Si3 and Thaana Serndha Koottam with his Telugu market dropping sharply. His per film remuneration is estimated to be 20 Cr.
Sivakarthikeyan
Sivakarthikeyan is undoubtedly a bankable star on a steady rise. His ever-growing popularity among families and kids has guaranteed a strong opening for his films. With Sivakarthikeyan showing maturity in taking on more meaningful and social theme movies, his movies continue to enjoy high occupancy rates across all centers. His salary for Seema Raja is reportedly 18 Cr.
Vikram
Vikram is the most versatile actor in Kollywood. He is also the most under-utilized actor. Though the audience appreciated his earlier films, the recent ones have failed to make an impression.
It is being reported in the media that the actor received a remuneration of 12cr for his last release Saamy 2. Vikram is left with two big projects (delayed Dhruva Natchathiram and Kadaram Kondan). The actor has raised his salary to 18 Cr. despite Saamy 2's failure.
Dhanush
Tamil Actor Dhanush who is also a National award winner has reportedly signed a three-film contract for a cumulative remuneration of 30 Cr INR under Kalaipuli S. Thanu’s banner. It is therefore assumed that Dhanush’s per film remuneration is 10 Cr. Also, compensation for his past film Maari 2 under his productions is estimated to be 12 Cr.
The young actor has been producing his films recently. Therefore the remuneration figures can be conflicting.
Karthi Sivakumar
Karthi Sivakumar is the younger brother of actor Surya. He debuted as hero in Tamil cinema with Ameer directorial Paruthiveeran. Unlike his brother, Karthi had to struggle very little to attain success in the industry. He created quite an impression right from his first film.
Karthi's salary for the recent film Dev is 10 Cr. INR. These numbers are incredible for a star who is just 20 films old. He upcoming films are Kaithi and an untitled Jeethu Joseph directorial.
Other notable actors
Raghava Lawrence is another star who is worth mentioning. Though the exact salary figure for him is not available, it could be predicted to be somewhere between 10-15 Cr. INR. Vishal, Jayam Ravi, Vijay Sethupathi, Simbu are reportedly receiving remunerations of 8 Cr. INR each for their films.
