One film has changed the equations and market value of a hero and a director. We are talking about Allu Arjun and Sukumar.
It is common to hike a hero to demand a fat paycheck after delivering a massive blockbuster. But directors never demand double the remuneration.
Sukumar received a paycheck of Rs 18 Cr for the first part of “Pushpa”. As the film became a massive hit in the Hindi market, the budget of the second part has been doubled. The director has doubled the remuneration.
Insiders say Sukumar will take home the remuneration of Rs 40 crore for the second part. This is an astounding rise for any director.
Sukumar has officially joined one of the highest-paid directors in the Indian film industry.
