Atlee Kumar has taken Shahrukh Khan’s starrer to the next level by directing ‘Jawaan’. There are many churches for Shahrukh not only in the Hindi belt but also in the South. Shahrukh is seen doing top class action in the film. Atlee and Shahrukh are happy about it. Shahrukh expressed his gratitude to Atlee for a great film and making him a bigger star. But there was one more actor, who became a superstar after coming under Atlee’s umbrella. Now he has become the most expensive actor not only in South but also in Indian cinema.
Shahrukh Khan gave the superhit ‘Pathan’ before ‘Jawaan’. Atlee started shooting with Shahrukh before the release of ‘Pathan’. The young man waited for a long time. Shahrukh sat at home for 4 years due to continuous flops. Like Shahrukh, the big star of the South also kept giving flops, but Atlee became his support and took him to the top. Who is this artist..?
Atlee is considered a great director in the South. So far he has directed only 5 films and written their story. One of them is ‘Jawan’. Apart from this, only 1 actor has directed 3 films.
This actor name is Thalapathy Vijay. Atlee’s first film was ‘Theri’ with Thalapathy Vijay. This film made record breaking earnings. When the Hindi version was aired on TV here, people loved it.
Thalapathy Vijay’s ‘Puli’, which preceded ‘Theri’ in 2016, flopped at the box office. Even before this, ‘Kathiti’ earned only 30 percent of the budget. Overall, Theri has raised the graph of Vijay’s career. (Image courtesy: Instagram)
After ‘Theri’ came Atlee and Thalapathy Vijay’s film ‘Mersal’. This is the first film of Thalapathy Vijay, which also attracted the attention of North Indians ie. It was talked about all over India and it also made record breaking earnings. Issues like demonetization and GST are raised in this film. It was a very controversial film.
In the year 2019, Thalapathy Vijay and Atlee’s ‘Bigil’ also became a superhit. This film was also released in Hindi version, which was well appreciated by the audience. In between these films, Thalapathy worked in films like Bhairava and Sarkar. With Vijay’s popularity, these films are also doing well.
Thalapathy Vijay was last seen in ‘Warisu’. He took Rs 125 crore for this film. He will now be seen in ‘Leo’ and for this he is reportedly charging Rs 200 crores. No Indian artist is so highly paid.
