Three of his last four films were big disasters, but it has not affected his stardom or demand a wee bit that he is going to get a mammoth paycheck for one of his upcoming films.
The producer was reportedly skeptical of paying him that amount at the beginning, but the superstar’s wife has convinced him that it is a reasonable deal.
As per grapevine, she told the producer that her husband’s market will grow by leaps and bounds after the release of his next film directed by a Southern superstar director.
She said that he will become a big star in Tamilnadu after that film so that his future releases could have massive release over there.
The producer took the bait and believed that it is indeed a reasonable deal as he was convinced that he could recover hero's remuneration from Tamil version rights itself.
No one knows if the superstar could really capture the Tamil market after that film. It will be extremely tough for a Telugu hero to establish in Tamil market even if he scores a blockbuster, going by the past history.
Kudos to her business tactics that the superstar’s wife was able to get what she wanted, despite ifs and buts.
