It’s generally the popular actresses who make the most money and so it is justified if Rakul demands a whopping amount of Rs 1 crore per film in Tollywood. But it is surprising that the makers of actor Vishal’s next Tamil film Thupparivaalan, to be helmed by Mysskin, have offered to pay the same amount to the actress.
“Despite knowing that Rakul isn’t as popular in Tamil, the makers offered to pay that amount because of her market in Tollywood. It would prove to be a huge advantage for Vishal who, even after several years of attempting, is yet to crack the market here,” shares a source.
Rakul’s last Tamil film was 2014 film Yenamo Edho, a remake of Ala Modalaindi.
