With 2 super hits in 2013, Soodhu Kavvum and Itharkuthane Aasaippatai Balakumara, Vijay Sethupathi's market and salary have increased drastically. They say that the salary that he received for the film Soodhu Kavvum is less than 50 lakhs. Now, Soothu Kavvum film's producer Kumar wished to make a film by teaming up with Vijay Sethupathi and Soodhu Kavvum director Nalan Kumarasamy. Even Vijay Sethupathi liked the story that was written by the director. They also decided to start the film after the pending projects that are lined up. In this situation, the talk about the salary started. Producer Kumar thought that we gave him a salary of less than 50 lakhs for the previous movie and we shall proudly tell him the salary of 1 crore for this film. However, Vijay Sethupathi's current salary is 5 crores. Without knowing the current status he had spoken. Vijay Sethupathi is taken out by all surprise. He was totally confused thinking whether he is talking after knowing the current status or without knowing it. After that, he informed through his friends to the producer that his current salary is 5 crores and he could reduce it to 4 crores for him. However, producer Kumar was not ready for this offer. The entire budget of the films that I am taking will itself be only 4 crores, in that case how could I give 4 crores only to him? He asked and refused. If he had left it by then it would have been nice, instead, now he says that he has a good story on hand and if somebody is willing to make it in his budget then he will be greatful to leave it for them. Even though Vijay Sethupathi is completely frustrated by his act, he says that he is in a very dire status right now as he could not even fight against him.
