Directed by AR Murugadoss, the Vijay and Kajal Aggarwal starrer continues to bag profit, even beyond 100 days now.

But what is making the buzz right now is the remuneration that Akshay will draw from this deal. It is rumoured that he will be paid a whooping sum of 50 crore rupees, for this movie!

When quizzed about this, "Is it? I am not aware of this. Pay check of the actor is a business strictly between the production house and the actor himself. I am nowhere involved in this" says the director of the movie, ARM.
