Atlast, Mythri Movie Makers have launched their maiden Hindi film with Bollywood star Sunny Deol and the action film would be directed by Gopichand Malineni. “Sunny Deol would be pocketing Rs 35 crores as remuneration and it is the highest pay for the actor in recent times. No doubt, his market soared after the massive hit ‘Gadar 2’ and producers are willing to cough up the whopping pay,” says a source.
Bollywood stars are quite keen on paychecks when they work with Telugu producers since they are known to have deep pockets. “Even in the past, Bollywood actors didn’t mind charging big sums from Telugu producers and now, Sunny Deol is following suit,” he points out.
Earlier, Mythri Movie Makers reportedly put a film on hold with reigning star Ravi Teja since it was costing them more than Rs 130 crores. “They moved to Bollywood since they liked the script and felt that it had pan-India appeal. They would be shooting for 150 days which is going to be an action adventure," he adds.
