Is this Thalapathy Vijay’s salary for ‘Thalapathy 69’? India’s top-paid actor?

Thalapathy Vijay is all set to make headlines again with the official announcement of his much-anticipated 69th film, which is expected later this evening. However, rumours about Vijay’s staggering salary for the project have already set social media abuzz, with fans celebrating his newfound status as India’s highest-paid actor.

Reports suggest that Vijay has been offered an impressive ?275 crore plus GST for ‘Thalapathy 69’, which is said to be his final film before stepping into politics. If these figures are confirmed, it would cement Vijay’s position as the highest-earning actor in India—a significant achievement for the Tamil cinema industry.

Historically, Bollywood actors have dominated the list of top-paid stars in Indian cinema. Vijay’s rise to the number one spot as a Tamil actor is being hailed as a proud moment by his legion of fans, who are flooding social media with messages of celebration. Notably, Vijay is listed as the second highest tax-paying celebrity after Shah Rukh Khan.

While Vijay’s transition from cinema to politics leaves fans with mixed feelings, the news of his massive paycheck and impending departure from films has been met with pride and bittersweet emotions. His followers view this moment as a fitting tribute to his cinematic legacy and a new beginning in his political journey.
