Nayanthara, the renowned actress of the South Indian film industry, is making headlines as she gears up to star alongside Shah Rukh Khan in an upcoming film. As she marks her 75th film, rumors are abuzz about a significant hike in her salary.
Over the years, Nayanthara has delivered impressive performances, from sharing the screen with Rajinikanth in “Durbar” and “Annatha” to her impactful roles in woman-centric films like “Nettikan,” “O2,” and “Connect.” Her career took a new turn with the romantic film “Kathuvakkula Rendu” directed by her partner Vignesh Sivan.
Recently, Nayanthara became a part of Atlee’s ambitious project, where she will be paired with Shah Rukh Khan. Atlee, the director of this film, expressed his desire to cast Nayanthara as the heroine, believing she would be his lucky charm. Giving her full freedom to choose her roles, Shah Rukh Khan welcomed Nayanthara to the Bollywood industry.
Their pairing is not new, as Nayanthara has previously worked with Shah Rukh Khan in “Raja Rani,” which turned out to be a breakthrough film for the director. Having shared the screen with superstar Rajinikanth in “Chandramukhi,” “Kuselan,” “Darbar,” and “Annatha,” Nayanthara is now venturing into a new phase of her career with Shah Rukh Khan.
As she takes on the role of the leading lady opposite Shah Rukh Khan in “Jawaan,” Nayanthara is showing her commitment to raising her market value. Reports suggest that her 75th film, initially titled “Annapoorani,” has been renamed “Poorni.”
Notably, Nayanthara is rumored to have requested a salary hike, demanding 12 crores instead of the previously agreed-upon 10 crores, given her soaring market appeal. As the film industry witnesses heroes demanding salaries of 150 to 200 crores, many are supporting Nayanthara’s plea for just compensation.
The talented actress continues to win hearts with her stellar performances, and her decision to claim fair remuneration reflects her status as the “Lady Superstar” of the industry. With the Shah Rukh Khan project on the horizon, Nayanthara is poised for even greater success in her illustrious career.
