Superstar Rajinikanth’s recent film, ‘Jailer,’ has achieved sensational success. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the film took the box office by storm upon its release on August 10. In a remarkably short span, it amassed an astounding sum of approximately Rs 650 crore, establishing it as the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2023.
The film’s extraordinary success didn’t stop at the box office. With the colossal success of ‘Jailer,’ the film industry was already abuzz with anticipation for ‘Thalaivar171.’ Now, there are speculations that Rajinikanth’s remuneration for this film is a whopping sum of ₹280 crores, making him the highest-paid actor in Asia once again and the first actor in Indian cinema to achieve this feat.
Noted film critic Sathyan Ramasamy shared insights into this development, stating, “Official reports indicate that based on the advisory from Sun Network Group’s Auditor Council, SunPictures initially offered distribution rights in the NSC area to Rajinikanth. However, the superstar declined this offer for various reasons. Subsequently, after a thoughtful evaluation of the massive success of ‘Jailer’ and the enormous hype surrounding ‘Thalaivar171,’ the decision was made to offer this unprecedented remuneration.”
It has also come to our attention that another major star in India is set to receive a significant double-digit paycheck for an upcoming project. When the SunPictures team was questioned about these substantial remuneration, they calmly expressed their belief that the Box Office Emperor, ‘The Thalaivaa,’ will generate returns many times greater than the investment.
Rajinikanth’s recent success with ‘Jailer’ has not only solidified his status as a superstar but has also catapulted him to the top of the list of Asia’s highest-paid actors. This historic achievement is an indication of his immense talent and charisma, and it speaks to the ever-growing impact of Indian cinema on a global scale. As fans eagerly await ‘Thalaivar171,’ it’s clear that Rajinikanth’s legacy in the film industry is set to continue for years to come.
