Lokesh Kanagaraj Reportedly Charging ₹35 Crore for His Acting Debut in DC

Acclaimed filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, who has delivered a series of blockbuster hits, is all set to make his debut as a lead actor in the upcoming film DC, directed by Arun Matheswaran. The project is being produced by Sun Pictures, one of Tamil cinema’s biggest production houses.

While the film itself has generated immense curiosity, what’s now grabbing headlines is the rumour that Lokesh is reportedly charging a staggering ₹35 crore for his role in DC. According to industry buzz, this massive remuneration is not just for his acting but also for his creative input in the film’s script and development.

However, this speculation has triggered a heated debate on social media. Many netizens are questioning whether such a high paycheck is justified for someone making his acting debut. Some argue that DC may not match the scale or hype of Lokesh’s directorial ventures, and such a hefty fee could potentially inflate the film’s budget and add pressure on the producers.

This comes after Lokesh himself revealed in earlier interviews that he received around ₹50 crore for directing Coolie, his upcoming project with Superstar Rajinikanth. Given that revelation, the reports about his ₹35 crore remuneration for DC are gaining further traction online.

Despite the widespread chatter, neither Lokesh Kanagaraj nor the team behind DC has issued an official clarification regarding the rumoured salary.

Regardless of the truth behind the figures, DC has already become one of the most discussed Tamil films in recent times not just for marking Lokesh’s debut as an actor, but also for the sky-high expectations surrounding every move he makes.
