Atlee has been basking in the success following his Bollywood debut with Jawan. The film made a massive collection at the box office in India, shattering several records. Now, as he is gearing up for his next directorial with Allu Arjun , reports are doing the rounds he has asked for a whopping fee, which has left the producers wondering.
According to a report in 123Telugu, Producers are having a tough time after Atlee reportedly demanded ₹100 crore to direct his next project, starring Pushpa star Allu Arjun. According to producers, such an amount is usually reserved for top actors. If they accept Atlee’s offer then the budget of the film will also increase. A few Kollywood producers who expressed interest in the project have backed out owing to fee issues.
On the other hand, it is said that Allu Arjun has also increased his fees after the earth-shattering success of Pushpa 2, which broke many records at the box office worldwide. It will be interesting to see, who will take up the project.
Reports are rife that Janhvi Kapoor has been in talks to star opposite Allu Arjun. However, nothing is official yet. The actress made her Telugu debut last year with Jr NTR’s Devara and next, she will be seen alongside Ram Charan in RC16, helmed by Buchi Babu.
Meanwhile, Allu Arjun is said to collaborate with director Trivikram Srinivas for a mythological drama. The movie will reportedly be based on Lord Karthikeya, but no official announcement has been made yet. If the report turns out to be true, this will be their fourth collaboration after Julayi, S/O Satyamurthy and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.
