A source close to publication revealed that the lead actress is paid a whopping amount for Thalapthy 65 and said, “Pooja Hegde, who plays the female lead in the film, has been paid Rs 3 crore for the film. It’s the highest that she has got upfront to date, and the key reason for the hike in fees is because of her increasing popularity across the nation. She is flooded with offers from all industries; however, she couldn’t miss out on the opportunity of working with Vijay and came on board the film instantly. She cleared her date diaries and went out of the way to come on board, Thalapathy 65.”
