Mohanlal,
the
magical
actor
is
the
highest
paid
star
of
the
Malayalam
movie
industry.
But
according
to
the
rumour
mills,
young
crowd
puller
Nivin
Pauly
is
all
set
to
beat
Mohanlal.
But
it
is
not
in
the
case
of
a
Malayalam
film,
but
a
Tamil
movie.
If
the
rumorus
are
to
be
true,
Nivin
Pauly
is
charging
a
whopping
6
Crores
for
his
third
Tamil
outing,
which
will
start
rolling
soon.
Earlier,
Mohanlal
was
the
Malayalam
actor
to
charge
the
highest
amount
for
an
other
language
movie.
He
had
set
a
record
by
charging
between
5.5
to
6
Crores
for
his
upcoming
Telugu
movie
Janatha
Garage.
The
amount
was
including
the
remuneration
of
the
actor
and
the
Kerala
distribution
rights
of
the
movie.
Mohanlal
had
charged
5
Crores
for
the
blockbuster
movie
Jilla,
in
which
he
shared
the
screen
with
Vijay.
Reportedly,
Nivin
Pauly
is
charging
such
huge
amount,
as
the
actor
has
a
strong
fan
base
in
Tamil
Nadu,
post
the
successes
of
the
Alphonse
Puthren
movie,
Premam
and
recently
released
Action
Hero
Biju.
However,
Nivin
hasn't
responded
to
the
rumours
yet.
The
untitled
movie,
which
is
directed
by
film-maker
Mysskin's
former
assistant
Gowtham,
is
the
remake
of
Kannada
blockbuster
Ulidavaru
Kandanthe.
