Is Atlee going to be the highest-paid Kollywood director surpassing his mentor Shankar?

With the Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Jawan’ grossing more than 1000 crores worldwide, director Atlee emerged as one of the most bankable directors in Indian cinema. The latest reports suggest that he is going to be the highest-paid Tamil filmmaker and this is going viral on the internet.

Indiaglitz already informed you that Atlee will be joining forces with Sun Pictures for his next project. While Thalapathy Vijay was said to do the film initially, recent reports say that the ‘Pushpa’ star Allu Arjun is going to work with Atlee next. The hot news is that Atlee quoted a whopping 60 crores in remuneration for this mega-budgeted biggie.

The script work has already been started for the movie & final talks on progress. If everything goes well, this combo will come together for the movie with Atlee being the highest-paid Tamil director in cinema history. It is worth mentioning that Atlee was an assistant to the legendary director Shankar earlier, who is now paid less than the former.
