Tamil film director Atlee branched out of Kollywood with the Hindi blockbuster Jawan (2023) starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. The box-office success of the SRK produced movie has amped Atlee's market value like none, and this is evident from the remuneration the filmmaker has quoted as director fees for his next. 

Atlee, who is basking in the success of his recent Bollywood blockbuster "Jawan," is said to have quoted a 60 Crore remuneration for his upcoming film with Allu Arjun.
