Believe it or not. Shankar’s fee for Sivaji is 5 crores. Guess how much was Perarasu paid for Sivakasi? 1 crore. Muragadoss, Dharani and Selvaraghavan too get in crores. With crores going away to paying directors, the heroes and the heroines, the producers are in a quandary.

What to do? Well, after a considerable brain storming they have decided that they would fix a ceiling for the directors’ fee. No more. No less. Take it or leave it. The decision has sent shock waves in the director circles.
