Nelson Demands 40 Crore+ Salary For His Next With Jr NTR, 11% Higher Sum Than What The Actor Was Paid For RRR?

Nelson has made his space among the young, talented pool of directors down South. The filmmaker suffered a big blow after his Beast with Thalapathy Vijay tanked at the box office. But in 2023, he hit it out of the park by giving a blockbuster hit with Jailer. Even for Rajinikanth, it turned out to be a much-needed comeback hit. It grossed over 600 crores globally. After such a success, the director gears up for Jailer, and after that, he also has a big project with Jr NTR.

Collaboration with Jr NTR

While the official announcement is awaited, it is confirmed that after Jailer 2, the director will team up with Jr NTR. This marks his debut collaboration with the Tollywood superstar. Talking about NTR, he’s currently occupied with War 2, and up next, he will begin shooting for his biggie with Prashanth Neel. So, there’s still a lot of time to go, and before the film officially begins, the star filmmaker is ensuring he gets paid the right amount for his work.

Nelson demands a massive salary?

It’s a no-brainer that Nelson will be in the limelight after Jailer 2. And considering it’s a sure-shot blockbuster, the director has reportedly been paid a hefty amount for his direction. After Jailer 2 becomes a huge hit, one expects him to hike his salary. Interestingly, even before Jailer 2 goes on floors, the Beast director has demanded massive remuneration for his film with Jr NTR.
