Amidst the ongoing buzz surrounding filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s highly-anticipated project KH234, which is set to feature Kamal Haasan, the final touches of the casting process are now being meticulously worked out. The spotlight is currently on Lady Superstar Nayanthara, as negotiations for her potential role in the film reach their concluding stages. Recent reports suggest that should this deal materialize, Nayanthara is set to command an impressive remuneration of Rs 12 crores for her character. As reported by the Free Press Journal, her fee hike traces back to her performances in ‘Jawan’ and ‘Iraivan’ alongside Jayam Ravi, where she established a precedent by demanding Rs 10 crores, effectively cementing her status as the highest-paid leading actress in the South.
While initial discussions had revolved around other esteemed actresses like Samantha, Sai Pallavi, and Trisha Krishnan potentially landing prominent roles in KH234, it now appears that Nayanthara is the frontrunner for the coveted position. Her undeniable charisma and exceptional acting prowess further strengthen her claim to this role. Taking a retrospective look at her career trajectory, Nayanthara’s current fee is a remarkable six-fold increase from what she charged for her 2016 Telugu film ‘Babu Bangaram’ opposite Venkatesh. It’s noteworthy that, before her roles in ‘Jawan’ and ‘Iraivan,’ she was commanding Rs 8 crores for her 2022 film ‘Connect,’ marking her ascent as the highest-paid actress in the South upon signing ‘Jawan’.
