Vijay who has always been playing safe when selecting movies has a very strong reason for doing so. “I will have to think about the Producer, distributor, exhibitor and all the crew members of the movie I am involved in. I have to consider about all the people involved when experimenting.” So does actors like Vikram and Surya who do a lot of experimentation do not think about these people, ask a certain group in Kodambakkam about Vijay’s reasoning.But Vijay’s loyalist defends their idol by saying, “Vijay’s movies are sold at a higher price compared to other actors. Risk involved is more….” The actor’s movies are easily sold for 4 to 4.5 crores in Chennai-Chengalpet area. This is next only to Superstar’s movies.

In the meantime, an unnamed producer approached Vijay and offered 8 crores for a project with him. Vijay was stunned and kindly refused the offer made to him. He felt, taking up the movie for eight crores is again putting lot of risk and pressure on the various people involved in the film making. Presently he gets anywhere from three to three and half crores for a movie.
