New Delhi: Ajith Kumar’s star power remains untouchable, even if box office numbers occasionally say otherwise. Despite Vidaamuyarchi falling flat and failing to generate the expected buzz, the Tamil superstar fondly hailed as “Thala” has bounced back and done it with an even bigger paycheck.

Reports suggest that Ajith took home a jaw-dropping Rs 105 crore for Vidaamuyarchia film that was touted as his grand return after a two-year break. However, the movie struggled to connect with audiences and now teeters on the edge of a commercial washout.

Ajith Kumar’s fees for Good Bad Ugly

Industry chatter now reveals that Ajith has secured a staggering Rs 110 crore for his next project, Good Bad Ugly. That’s right — despite the lukewarm performance of his last film, Thala has managed to hike his fee by another Rs 5 crore. The confidence around his upcoming film seems strong, with advance bookings already underway in cities like Chennai and Bengaluru ahead of its April 19 release. The buzz is palpable — fans are clearly ready to watch their favourite star reclaim his throne.

More about Good Bad Ugly

Directed by Adhik Ravichandran, the film promises a stylised action-comedy ride. Known for his flashy storytelling and quirky cinematic grammar, Adhik pairs Ajith with Trisha Krishnan, a reunion fans are especially excited about. The supporting cast includes notable names like Prabhu, Arjun Das, Prasanna, Sunil, Usha Uthup, and Rahul Dev.

The technical crew behind Good Bad Ugly is just as stacked. GV Prakash Kumar is scoring the music, Abinandhan Ramanujam handles cinematography, and Vijay Velukutty is in charge of editing — all ensuring that the film delivers on both spectacle and style.
