If reports are to be believed, Nayanthara will be receiving a fat paycheque to star opposite the legendary actor in Godfather. She is reportedly charging a whopping amount of ₹4 crore as her remuneration. If the reports are true, this would be the highest ever remuneration paid to any Tollywood actress so far for a regional film.

Godfather will also see Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in it. Khan will be seen shaking a leg with Chiranjeevi in a dance number. Super Good Films and Ram Charan’s Konidela Production Company are jointly bankrolling the film.

Godfather is due in cinemas in mid-2022.
