Idli Kadai, Dhanush’s latest offering, has finally graced the OTT space and is available on Netflix to be watched and enjoyed. Apart from the Tamil superstar, the film stars Nithya Menen, Shalini Pandey, Rajkiran, and more. However, did you know that, in addition to starring as the main lead, Dhanush is also directing and producing the film? Amid this surprising revelation, here’s a look at Dhanush’s fees for Idli Kadai as the lead actor, director and producer.
How much did Dhanush charge as the main lead, director, and producer of Idli Kadai?
Tamil superstar, Dhanush’s fee as the main lead of Idli Kadai was over Rs. 50 crores, as reported by Tamil Samayam. Whether he received this amount only for his acting role or for his directing too hasn’t been revealed yet. Meanwhile, as the co-producer of Idli Kadai, Dhanush is said to have incurred losses. As per a report by Sacnilk, the Tamil-language film collected nearly Rs. 71 crores worldwide. However, several reports claim that Idli Kadai was made with a budget of Rs. 100 crores. Hence, its low performance, despite Dhanush’s stardom and his pairing with iconic co-star Nithya Menen, is a shock for many.
