Gone are those days when heroines used to earn a little, compared to the heroes. We hear that Trisha took home 80 lakhs for a Tamil movie and 1.10 crore for Telugu after paying the income tax last year. The next highest paid lady was Nayantara who earned 70 lakhs for Tamil and 85 lakhs for Telugu. Though Shriya came in later, the girl also demanded 85 lakhs.

Before three years the producers were paying nothing more than 40-50 lakhs for the lead ladies of their movies. A leading producer says that heroines started to point out Tollywood which pays the heroines like no where, and started to insist more. Furthermore, heroes with more popularity started to demand such heroines for the projects and pushed the producers to hire heroines for high rates.

Till last July, it was Trisha who was the No.1 in the Industry but the white beauty Tamannah has pushed her down now. The latest hot news we hear from the production house of Vijay’s 50th film ‘Sura’(Tamil) is that Tamannah is paid 90 lakhs.

Another shocking news that adds oil to this sky-high salary matter is from Kamal’s office. Birdies say that there are a lot of possibilities for Tamannah to be roped in for the Mysskin-Kamal project that is on cards. And so, the girl’s salary might touch a crore’s mark very soon!
