From the last two days, a rumour started engulfing Tollywood about the remuneration of this top-rated hero. But if we go by the things logically there is no way this could be true. Here is a quick look at it.
Apparently Tamil star Vijay Sethupathi is making inroads into Tollywood by making his presence felt in Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Sye Raa. After that film, he’s actually coming up with his role as a villain in newcomer hero, Sai Dharam Tej’s brother Vaishnav Tej’s movie Uppena. The rumours are indicating he’s paid almost 5 crores to turn villain in this small budgeted movie directed by debuting Buchi Babu, a protege of Sukumar.
Firstly, investing so much on Vijay Setupathi will not help the movie as it is a small budgeted one, and then the makers can’t grab audiences to theatres as Vijay is not such a powerful face in Telugu states. So, it is not viable to pay him such high. Also, it is highly unbelievable that an actor from the neighbouring state would charge such huge for a villain role.
