Salary demands of Soori and Pradeep Ranganathan have become a major talking point in the industry. Reports about their remuneration have raised concerns among producers, especially in Kollywood.
Producers have already faced heavy losses with big budget, star driven films. Many are now focusing on medium budget films with tier 2 actors to recover costs through pre release business.
However, this strategy is now facing a challenge. Reports suggest that even tier 2 actors are demanding very high salaries, creating pressure on production houses.
According to reports, Soori is currently in a strong phase with back to back successful films. He is said to be demanding Rs.25 crore for his next project with Mythri Movie Makers, and the banner is reportedly willing to pay.
At the same time, Pradeep Ranganathan is said to be receiving around Rs.50 crore for his upcoming film. Interestingly, this project is also being produced by Mythri Movie Makers.
These reports have created concern among Tamil producers. Many feel that such high pay may set a new benchmark that could affect smaller production houses.
Producers believe that big banners like Mythri Movie Makers can manage risks and absorb losses. But local producers may struggle if actors begin demanding similar remuneration across the industry.
Some also referred to Mythri Movie Makers’ Bollywood film Jaat. Reports suggest that Sunny Deol was paid more than his usual remuneration for that project.
Producers fear that such trends could impact regional cinema. Rising actor salaries may increase budgets and make it harder to sustain profits.
However, it is important to note that these are still social media speculations. There has been no official confirmation regarding these remuneration figures.
Even so, the discussion around Soori and Pradeep Ranganathan’s salaries continues online. Industry observers are watching closely to see how this situation unfolds.
