Did Lokesh’s Salary For DC Spark A Social Media Debate ?

Popular Tamil director Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his blockbuster films like Vikram and Leo, is all set to make his acting debut with DC, directed by Arun Matheswaran and produced by Sun Pictures. According to reports, Lokesh is being paid a massive remuneration of around Rs. 35 crores — not only for his acting but also for his involvement in the film’s script. This speculation has set social media abuzz, with fans debating whether the director’s acting debut deserves such a hefty paycheque.

During promotions for his previous directorial Coolie, Lokesh himself revealed that he received Rs. 50 crores for that project. Given this, many believe his remuneration for DC might be justified, while others argue it could unnecessarily inflate the movie’s budget. The topic has now become one of the most discussed in Tamil cinema circles. So far, neither Lokesh Kanagaraj nor the DC team has commented on the viral rumours.
