However, owing to Vikram’s incredible success, he has reportedly hiked his fees to Rs. 21 crores for Jawan.
According to a report in Pink Villa, a source close to the actor revealed, “This is the maximum that Sethupathi has charged for a feature film till date and the hike in fees has come post the tremendous appreciation he got for his performance in Vikram.
