Rajinikanth's Remuneration For Coolie: Superstar Gets Whopping Salary, Beats Vijay's Record

Looks like Thalaiva isn't done breaking records just yet! At 74, superstar Rajinikanth has reportedly taken home a mind-blowing ₹280 crore paycheck for his upcoming film Coolie-making him the highest-paid actor in Kollywood, and possibly Indian cinema.

Just when fans were reeling from the news that Thalapathy Vijay is getting ₹275 crore for Jana Nayagan, Rajini swoops in and casually beats that with a few extra crores. Talk about a power move!

Coolie, which is hitting theatres on August 14, is helmed by none other than Lokesh Kanagaraj and bankrolled by Sun Pictures. This is the first time Rajini and Lokesh are teaming up, and fans are already hyped beyond words. Expectations? Sky high.

What's got fans even more intrigued is that Rajinikanth will reportedly be playing a powerful villain named "Deva" in the movie-a rare and exciting twist. And with updates about the film dropping left and right, the buzz just keeps getting louder.

The film, produced by Sun Pictures, is shaping up to be a massive entertainer with a star-studded cast including Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Upendra, and Soubin Shahir. With Anirudh Ravichander's music, Girish Gangadharan's stunning visuals, and Philomin Raj's editing, Coolie promises to be a visual and auditory treat.

The movie has Anirudh Ravichander's music, Girish Gangadharan's cinematography and Philomin Raj's editing.

Social media is ablaze with fans celebrating this new milestone. Many are calling it long overdue for the legend who's ruled Tamil cinema for decades. And if Coolie and Jailer 2 both smash it at the box office? Word is, Rajini's next paycheck could cross ₹300 crores!
