Thalapathy Vijay, who is 48 years old, has been actively involved in the film industry for the past 27 years, and he has portrayed the protagonist in approximately 66 films.
Bollywood is widely recognized as the most expensive film industry in India, primarily due to the exorbitant fees of its actors and the substantial budgets of their films. Renowned actors such as Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Aamir Khan command such high fees that at times, their remuneration surpasses the entire budget of a film. These actors now demand fees exceeding Rs 100 crore per film. However, there is one actor who reportedly charges even more than the three Khans, Akshay Kumar, and Prabhas, making him the highest-paid actor in India.
Thalapathy Vijay, a prominent figure in the Tamil film industry, has recently emerged as the highest-paid actor in India. At the age of 48, Vijay has dedicated 27 years to the film industry, portraying the protagonist in approximately 66 films. Affectionately known as ‘Joe’ by his friends and family, Vijay has earned a well-deserved reputation in the industry.
