Some time back, it was reported that the budget of Kamal Haasan’s film Paapanaasam was the costliest remake of the Malayalam hit Drishyam.
Well, Rs 30 crores was spent for the film though it was a low budget film in Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. So the news from Tamil industry is that almost two-thirds of the production costs were given as remuneration to Kamal Haasan.
Talk is that Kamal was paid Rs 20 crores for the film. In fact, in other languages, the heroes had charged much less than their market value.
However, Kamal Haasan had anticipated that the film would do well and he had taken the satellite rights as a part of film as a part of his remuneration. Though his producers and buyers have been losing out due to his films, Kamal has decided to charge Rs 20 crores for this film.
As for the film, the audiences have appreciated it in all languages and since it has been released in all south Indian languages, the demand has increased for the Hindi version.
If the Hindi version starring Ajay Devgn also becomes a hit, then Drishyam will become the most popular film in Indian film industry.
