Chennai: With the much-anticipated Independence Day release of Coolie fast approaching, details of the film’s cast and crew remuneration have surfaced, sparking conversations across the industry.
According to a report by Deccan Herald, superstar Rajinikanth, who plays the lead in the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial, has reportedly commanded a staggering ₹200 crore for his role, making him the highest-paid member of the team.
In a notable gesture, Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has chosen to forgo his remuneration entirely, citing deep respect for Rajinikanth. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his blockbuster hits, is said to have earned ₹50 crore for helming the project.
The buzz around Coolie continues to build as the film readies for its grand release, with industry insiders predicting record-breaking box office numbers.
