Bollywoodlife.com reported this week that post his Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan hurricane success at the box office, smashing all records to be the highest grossing films ever, crossing the mark of Rs 1,000 crore, south director Atlee, if the latest reports are anything to go by, has something bigger in store next.
Atlee's next project is with Telugu franchise Pushpa star Allu Arjun.
According to Indiaglitz.com report, the movie with Sun Pictures and Atlee as director was to have Thalapathy Vijay in the lead. However, that is not happening and Atlee is now said to have joined forces with Allu Arjun for the same.
The report also mentions about his remuneration. It states that Atlee may become the highest-paid Kollywood director as he is allegedly charging Rs 60 crore for his next film.
The work on the script is on and final talks are in progress, says the report. However, there's no confirmation over these reports as yet. The report also asserts that if these numbers are true than Atlee would be charging more than his mentor director Shankar.
Atlee's fans are desperately waiting to know if Jawan 2 is in the making. The ending of Shah Rukh Khan's film gave fans hopes that a sequel is in the pipeline. Atlee, elsewhere, has also expressed his desire to work with Salman Khan.
