Tamil film fans are eagerly waiting for Rajinikanth’s massive reunion Kamal Haasan in the director Nelson DilipkumarAn upcoming movie called ‘KHxRK’. The project has already become one of the most talked about films in Indian cinema even before shooting has started. Apart from reuniting two legendary stars after almost five decades, the film is also making headlines for its massive budget and record-breaking salary. Reports now suggest that the film’s lead actor and director alone may receive around 500 crores as remuneration, making it one of the most expensive projects ever planned in Tamil cinema.
Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and Nelson Dilipkumar to receive massive salaries
According to Deccan Chronicle, Kamal Haasan will receive nearly Rs 220 crore for the film through a profit-sharing model. Since Kamal is also known for his heavy involvement in production and distribution strategies, the actor is said to be opting for a revenue sharing arrangement instead of a fixed salary. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth reportedly earns between Rs 180 crore and Rs 200 crore for the big-budget entertainer. Director Nelson Dilipkumar, who gave hit films like ‘Jailer’, is said to be getting Rs 70 crore for directing the project.
‘KHxRK’ is expected to be the most expensive film in Tamil Cinema
The report suggests that the actual production cost of the film may be around 150 million to 180 million euros. However, when the salaries of stars and CEOs are added, the total projected budget is expected to go from 650 million euros to 700 million euros. Backed by a major production house, the film is being described as the most expensive Tamil film ever planned. The project has become even more exciting due to the legendary combination of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, who last shared screen space together decades ago. With already high expectations surrounding the film, fans are calling it a once-in-a-generation cinematic event.
A gathering that has created a lot of excitement among fans
The excitement about the project is growing every day on social media. At a recent public event, Kamal Haasan spoke humorously about his reunion with Rajinikanth and said, “We did it a long time ago, but they chose to stay separate because they split a cookie and gave each of us only half. Now we are content with half a cookie.” The film will also have music by Anirudh Ravichander and cinematography by Rajiv Menon. The ambitious project is expected to begin shooting later this year, and fans are already counting down to see two of the biggest icons of Indian cinema together on screen.
