With the film's release scheduled for January 12th, on the occasion of Pongal, fans are eagerly waiting to watch their favourite star on the big screen once again.

'Varisu' is directed by the debutant director Vamshi, who has created the buzz with this family-sentiment based action film. Rashmika Mandanna plays the lead opposite Vijay, and the film has an ensemble cast, including Prakashraj, Prabhu, Sarathkumar, Sangeetha, and Samyukta. The shooting of the film is almost complete, and the team is currently focusing on promotion and post-production.

Vijay, who has established himself as the king of the Tamil film industry, has a massive fan following and is known for delivering blockbuster hits.

According to reports, Thalapathy Vijay has charged a whopping INR 125 crores for his role in 'Varisu,' which is a significant increase from his remuneration for his last film. It is said that Vijay charged around INR 80 crores for his role in 'Beast.' The news of his remuneration for 'Varisu' has come as a surprise to many, and it has raised eyebrows in the industry.

While Thalapathy Vijay's remuneration has been a hot topic of discussion, the fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the movie. With Vijay's star power and the buzz surrounding the film, 'Varisu' is expected to be a blockbuster hit at the box office. Only time will tell if the movie can live up to the expectations set by the fans and the industry.
