Not SRK Or Salman, This Is The Highest Paid Indian Actor!

When it comes to the highest-paid celebs of B-town, we can only think of the industries’ biggies like SRK, Salman Khan, and Akshay Kumar! These stars have not only proved their acting prowess over the years but have also made an impression on people’s hearts. However, these actors have, time and again, charged a fortune for their remarkable roles. But did you know there’s one person who has left all these names behind and has become the highest-paid Indian actor? 

South Indian superstar, Vijay Thalapathi recently became the highest-paid actor in Indian cinema. If reports are anything to go by, the actor has signed a Venkat Prabhu directorial and will be charging Rs 200 crores for the project, giving a tough competition to SRK who charged the same amount for Pathaan. The movie has been tentatively titled ‘Thalapathy 68’ and will be released under the banner of AGS Entertainment!
