Director Shankar is also money savvy. Reports
say that he was paid five crores for Sivaji.
He is now producing Veyil and Imsai Arasan Irubatthimoonraam
Pulikesi and the production cost of both the
films is less than three crores. How come that
when it comes to his home production Shankar
spends less but manages to give a hit while
working for other producers he goes for a mega
budget? Shankar produced his big hit Kaadhal
for just sixty lakhs though he claims that he
spent ninety lakhs on it. Shankar has now brought
in Balaji Sakthivel again to make another film,
of course in a low budget. Let us wait and see
when Shankar will give a low budget hit for
other producers.
