Sat Sep 14 17:59:01 UTC 2024: ## Thalapathy Vijay Becomes India’s Highest Paid Actor, Earning Rs 275 Crore for “Thalapathy 69”
**Chennai, September 13:** South Indian superstar Thalapathy Vijay has claimed the title of India’s highest-paid actor, bagging a record-breaking Rs 275 crore for his upcoming film “Thalapathy 69.” The film, produced by a renowned production house making its debut in Kollywood, is generating immense buzz even before its official announcement, slated for later today.
Vijay’s popularity, stemming from a string of blockbuster hits, has transcended regional boundaries, establishing him as a pan-India star. “Thalapathy 69” holds significant weight as it marks his final film before his anticipated entry into politics.
The film’s director, H. Vinoth, known for commercial successes, has assured fans that “Thalapathy 69” will be a complete entertainer, catering to a wide audience and abstaining from political themes, despite Vijay’s imminent political career.
Vijay’s latest release, “The Greatest of All Time (GOAT),” has performed exceptionally well at the Tamil Nadu box office, raking in Rs 178 crore in its first week. However, the Hindi and Telugu versions haven’t mirrored this success, earning Rs 11.3 crore and Rs 10.3 crore respectively.
Meanwhile, Vijay’s political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is preparing for its first state conference, now rescheduled to October.
Vijay’s unprecedented salary for “Thalapathy 69” surpasses the previous record held by Shah Rukh Khan, who earned Rs 250 crore for his recent project. The film’s official announcement is expected to further fuel excitement amongst fans, eager to witness the next chapter in the star’s illustrious career.
