Atlee had reportedly asked for Rs. 35 Cr as his fee. However, it is also worth pointing out that there’s no official confirmation on the report. Earlier it was claimed that Lyca Productions which backed Tamil mega-starrers throughout the years, including 2.0, Kaththi, and Darbar was producing Atlee and Allu’s film. It was touted as a pan-India project.
Meanwhile, Allu Arjun’s remuneration saw a significant hike following the success of Pushpa: The Rise. Lyca Productions reportedly offered Allu Arjun a whopping Rs. 100 crore. On the other hand, Atlee Kumar is helming a film starring Shah Rukh Khan and Nayanthara. The movie is tentatively titled ‘Lion’.
The film is highly anticipated since SRK will be seen in a double role, while Nayanthara will play an investigating officer. This film will also mark Atlee’s Bollywood debut.
