South Indian superstar Vijay has set a new benchmark in the Indian film industry by becoming the highest-paid Indian actor, earning an unprecedented Rs 275 crore for his upcoming film ‘Thalapathy 69’. According to Filmibeat, this massive salary surpasses that of Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan, who was reportedly paid Rs 250 crore, officially crowning Vijay as the top-paid actor in India.
‘Thalapathy 69’ carries extra significance as Vijay has announced it will be his final film before fully transitioning into politics, marking a major milestone in his career. Vijay, who has consistently delivered blockbuster hits, continues to expand his fanbase across India and beyond. His foray into politics has been highly anticipated, and fans are eagerly awaiting further details about his political ambitions.
The film is being produced by a prominent production house known for delivering blockbusters in Kannada and Telugu cinema. With ‘Thalapathy 69’, they are making their debut in Tamil cinema (Kollywood) and have secured Vijay with a record-breaking salary, adding to the film’s buzz. Even before its official announcement, expectations for the movie have skyrocketed, with fans already excited about the film’s potential.
An official announcement regarding ‘Thalapathy 69’ is expected later today (September 13), and excitement is building. The film will mark Vijay’s first collaboration with director H Vinoth, known for his commercial hits. Vinoth has assured fans that the movie will be a full-fledged commercial entertainer, catering to audiences of all kinds, with no political themes, despite Vijay’s upcoming political career.
As Vijay’s latest release, ‘GOAT’, wraps up its first week in theaters, the makers of ‘Thalapathy 69’ are preparing to unveil a series of exciting updates for fans, promising to ramp up the hype in the coming weeks.
