Actor Soori’s journey in Tamil cinema has taken him from working behind the scenes to becoming one of the industry’s prominent lead actors. Now, his reported remuneration for an upcoming project is creating fresh buzz.
Soori started out by taking up various jobs in the film industry, including working as a lightman. He later entered acting through smaller roles before gaining popularity as a comedian. His distinctive humour and impeccable timing soon made him a familiar face in films featuring leading stars.
Over the past few years, Soori has successfully moved beyond comedy and established himself as a serious lead actor, taking on roles that have showcased a different side of his talent.
According to reports, Soori is now said to be demanding around Rs 25 crore for his upcoming film. The reported figure has caught attention as it is believed to be comparable to the fees of several established Tier-2 heroes.
The reported jump in remuneration is being seen as another indication of Soori’s growing market value following his successful transition to lead roles. The yet-to-be-titled project is reportedly being directed by Ravikumar, who previously helmed films such as ‘Indru Netru Naalai’ and ‘Ayalaan’.
