Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Big Paycheck Becomes Talk Of Tamil Cinema

Lokesh Kanagaraj is all set to make his acting debut with the film #DC directed by Arun Matheswaran and produced by Sun Pictures.

Reports suggest that Lokesh is being paid around Rs. 35 crores not just for acting but also for contributing to the script. This news has created a huge buzz online with mixed reactions from fans.

During interviews for his last directorial Coolie, Lokesh had revealed that he earned Rs. 50 crores for that film. Because of this, people are speculating that his salary for DC might also be true.

However, some netizens believe that DC may not be as big as his directorial projects and that such a huge paycheck could affect the film’s budget.

The salary rumours have made #DC a trending topic on Tamil social media, though the team hasn’t commented yet.
