This project will be helmed by a debutante and it will be officially announced very soon. The pre-production is in full swing now. Apparently, Samantha is taking home a sensational remuneration of Rs 3.5 – 3.75 crores for starring in the film. This makes her one of the highest paid actresses in Indian cinema. Given Samantha’s box office pull down south and her successful stint in the Hindi OTT market with the Family Man Season 2, the producer agreed to match her huge remuneration demand.
Also, this is the highest remuneration Samantha took for any film until this point in time in her career. She will commence shooting for the project from early next year. More details about the director of the project and the lead cast and crew will be out in the days to come.
