Hailed as the Lady Superstar of the Tamil industry, newly wedded beauty Nayanthara is currently on a roll. And it is now coming out that she is going to be that highest paid Superstar actress of the south, beating the likes of Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt from Bollywood.
Popular production house Zee Studios is said to have signed a deal with Nayanthara for the next project which will be directed by a newcomer Nilesh Krishna, who happens to be a protege of S Shankar.
For this film, Nayanthara is taking home a whopping ₹10 crores as her pay packet if reports from Chennai are to be believed. So far only, Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt are charging anywhere between ₹8-10 crores per project if they have to play the main lead. And Nayanthara reaching that position is something incredible we have to say.
While Nayan is charging somewhere between ₹4-5 crores for her commercial projects like Megastar Chiru’s Godfather and Premam director’s next film Gold, she is quoting hefty price if it is a female-centric film or for stories that need her to do all the showstopper stuff.
As her successful movies are collecting nearly ₹20 crores share from Tamil box office, and all other rights fetching the producers another ₹20-30 crores easily, producers are willing to shell out ₹10 crores for her without any second thoughts. That’s Nayan folks!
