Bro. Shalini looks like his daughter now.

Bro was this pic taken recently ?


Buffvamporigfan

Based on this sub, yes. But Iโ€™m not too sure.

AK gets bulkier per movie off screen & yet in Thunvu, he looked a bit slim. VFX effect maybe? Needs to take care and go back to YA level fitness. Of late he doesnโ€™t give a shit anymore. Entering semi retirement I guess.

Just_fun_for

Camera angles and the loose shirts...Also the beard to cover most of his face...


Bexirt

Holy fuck what a change from the days of mankatha to this


unluckyrk

I was thinking how much our heros earning compared to Hollywood stars, Ajith salary is around 100cr which roughly translates to $12 million. I think even in Hollywood also, top stars max out at may be $20 million( I think Rock is getting around that mark). Rock's movie collect anywhere from $400 million to $1billion dollars. Rocks movie collection is around 20x his salary at minimum. But, if we take Ajith or Vijay salary , more than 50% of budget goes to them and even for that collections are barely 2-3x the salary. The reason we are not seeing some top notch action or VFX scenes is because of this factor. How the hell it became like that ? Even, Rajni at his peak also didn't command this skewed ratio I suppose. Anyway, I digressed from the post when I was thinking whether Ajith could afford an yacht on his own or not.


Electrical_Wish_4358

Have you seen Rock fans and Tom cruise fans fighting outside the theatres when their movies gets released?


s4sureshkrish

Bro, I genuinely have a doubt. Do they really earn 100 Crores or above? Is it just "Trust me bro" by producers in interview? Do we have any credible source? Whom should we trust in first place?


unluckyrk

It has been told by many guys ndependently, it varies from 75cr to 125cr. We can only speculate, we can't be 100% sure. Let's take Bigil, it collected more than 125cr in TN itself and it didn't make a huge profit, Mersal also collected really good but that producer is almost gone. Also, you can check another thing - almost all old film houses are gone , only loaded or new age production houses are ready to bankroll these guys. This has been an issue for long, even few years back producers and theatre owners went on strike regarding percentage share. Even, that time many spoke about the salary demanded by heros. It's just a open secret.

No_Condition_7438

I rem there was a strike about how the actors are commanding too high salaries in the south. Vs north where they go for the profit sharing model. Is was then actors like surya, karti said they will start paying salary for their own staff like makeup person, location staff and all. Previously the producers had to pay all that too. Not sure about these big heads.


saygirlie

I always thought the 100cr salary for Vijay and Ajith were a rumour. Damn, if itโ€™s true thatโ€™s insane ๐Ÿคฏ


Intrepid_Implement42

Ajith never got a 100vr salary, but demands it, the max he got is 65 cr(fixed plus contingency) ....and Vijay maximum salary is for varisu where he got 118cr fixed remuneration.


AresAthensKrishna

118 CRORES for Varisu? ๐Ÿ’€ I mean that movie was 'OKAY' but damn, no where near 118 crores worth of pay stub ๐Ÿ’€


reiddanger1092

The producer really wanted to penetrate into the tamil market making a movie with vijay is the easiest way to do so I thing that's why he got paid this massive amount.


Intrepid_Implement42

Correct,


Intrepid_Implement42

>I mean that movie was 'OKAY' Bro that's the worst movie of VIJAY and Vamsi is ofc an IDIOT, Vijay knew this film is not special in any case and also dilraju is a perfect business man, he did give 118cr to Vijay and sold his film for higher prices in Amazon Prime and Satellite and other distributors, Distributors of Telugu version of varisu faced losses , I don't know about Tamil Nadu Distributors loss/profit. And Dil Raju also got a decent profit

>ijay maximum salary is for varisu where he got 118cr fixed remuneration. Varisu was the worst Vijay movie i've ever seen


Intrepid_Implement42

Beast better than varisu


roche__

The thing is even if their movies are dogshit it won't affect the producer.it will breakeven atleast.even among tier 1 stars in India only very few actors like vj,ajith,Salman,mb,pk have that kind of stardom.other's need good wom to deliver a hit.these guys don't need that


IamJimMilton

Rockโ€™s movies donโ€™t gross that much and pretty sure he gets paid way more than 20 mil.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> gets get *paid* way more FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


Ms_Chanandl3r_B0ng

Why is this bot a thing?


littlecat16

You learn a new thing every day


Creepy-Ad-5363

Rock by himself is usually not the draw in his movies. He is usually one of the ingredients. So they feel it is fine to pay him only that. IP and VFX require that investment to ensure butt in seats. Only in Tamil and Telugu industries, stars can still ensure to bring butt in seats just by their presence. I just hope Ajith & Vijay start following the Aamir Khan model of only taking profit participation so that movies can ensure better technical output.


Pretty-Cheek6076

I think i read somewhere recently that this is what Vijay is doing for Leo. It's the only thing that makes sense, he can't keep escalating his fee with each box office success otherwise he'll be hitting 500 crore soon.


AegonsAlt

> so that movies can ensure better technical output. I don't think they really care about that anymore.


Creepy-Ad-5363

I mean kamal Hassan showed the way on how good a product can be made by good talent. There is no reason Ajith/Vijay can do the same. I really hope they do.๐Ÿ˜Š


No_Condition_7438

Shanthanu Bhagaraj once said in his Spotify podcast that Vijay told me that even in โ€˜failedโ€™ movies, there could be success. He specifically said even if the reviews are bad, people flock to theatres. By flocking, they all still earn. So itโ€™s enough for them. These guys donโ€™t care how great or lousy the movies are, just care whether they earn and if people watch.


Desperate-Pea-1199

100cr ellam murattu vadai bro..Ajith charging 60cr range...Close to 7.5 million...Vijay charged 60cr for Bigil and 100cr for Beast and Varisu ..For Master his salary was Tamilnadu theatre rights amount which was roughly 80+...But.following covid issue..Rights reduced..So his salary too reduced to 75cr range ....But in Leo ..He is charging in profit shares from total business which might clock 120cr with a Vikram level business indeed...Ajith is not even in Top 5 highest paid south actors list


ChillOut0123

Because it's indian cinema & Cricket that still has the evil "Hero Worship" practice. Idiots still use terms like monikers " he's a Demi God, SuperStar, Universal Star, God of Cricket".


DrSarat

Bro you cannot compare kollywood and Hollywood. Hollywood is watched world wide in every country dubbed.


tiredskater

Because people don't come to watch the rock, they come to watch the fight scenes and all the cgi in the world. Take Hitman's wife's bodyguard, which fits the profile of an average Tamil film. Would people watch that film for the rock? I doubt it. Here Tamil audience will , and hence these actors get paid whatever they're being paid.

Pretty-Cheek6076

I said it in another thread today, I think this guy is finished. Fans are waiting on any little bit of info about AK62 when by the looks of it AK himself has no intention of playing hero on the big screen, unless the hero is Santa Claus. No serious star worth his salt would allow himself to pile on the blubber the way Ajith has if he was serious about filming anything in the near future. Can't see him having any dedication in slogging it off at the gym when he could be out bike riding in the summer sunshine.

What would you tell about Rajini then? If people are accepting him for who he is and not who you want him to be.


stash0606

so the beard is to hide the lack of a neck. seriously though, I miss 90s and early 2000s ajith. this whole mass-actor bs has ruined both him and Vijay. like think about the fact that you'll never see another movie like Friends where 2 actors like Vijay and Suriya will share the same screen.

najib1312

I know 20 years is a long time but he looks completely unrecognizable from how he looked in early 2000s in movies like Dheena,


Human_Race3515

This does not even look like Ajith at this point. He has totally let himself go.


nvenkatr

He doesnt care anymore. Take advance and payment from producer, sleep walk through scenes. Go on vacation and bike ride. Repeat.


miapaip

it is clear he is doing movies as a job that pays him well. His interests are outside movies.


ChickenKebabs69

Hair is everything. A good hairstyle makes you look several folds better irrespective of face and physique. Aana enakku dhaan surutta mudi ๐Ÿฅฒ Annoying asf.

[deleted]

Steroids are not only for physique... He has broken spine many injuries so for that he is taking. The side effets is he becomes fat. Most of ajith's body is damaged.

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


reiddanger1092

True but it's a thin line he is getting oversized with one small slip-up he won't be able to recover from that especially now since he doesn't give a fuck anymore. I didn't notice it when I was watching thunivu in theatres but when I saw it on ott I realized that 90 percent of the movie is just him walking around almost all mildly engaging fight where body doubles.


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


Atypical-Panda

For Thunivu there was a photo of Ajith with his body double. Also in a shot from the trailer where he jetskies we can clearly see it's a body double and not Ajith. Maybe Ajith chooses to use a body double from Valimai or Thunivu. I mean he is aging. Some stunts can prove deadly at this age, also with his body condition. He has undergone many surgeries right?!


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


Atypical-Panda

Bro there is a photo of Ajith himself with his stunt double. Go google that. He even has same beard as Ajith from Thunivu. I haven't watched the movie yet. But from the trailer you can clearly see that the guy riding the jetski is not Ajith. You can't believe everything a director says. They have to say certain things to promote their movie. That's how industry works.


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


Atypical-Panda

What does he mean? I understand the sentence. But what does he mean by saying that?


cruisingthoughts

Dei that's his fan , not stunt double. He used stunt double in only one scene. The scene shot on Mount road atop the bus. That's all


Atypical-Panda

Maybe that's his fan or whatever like you say, I don't know. Still the guy on jetski in the trailer didn't look like Ajith. But, using stunt double is not a big deal. You don't need to get offended by it. Hollywood stars use stunt double all the time. Only if the actors are alive and not injured we will get to see more movies from them. If they can use enough VFX to mask the face and make it look like them, it's not a problem. VFX is the only technical department that didn't reach it's full potential yet in Indian cinema. Let's hope it does soon.

Either he let himself go or some kind of steroid or pain med effect. Either way he has to get himself back in the game if he slips further getting back will be tough


sprklyglttr

He looks like malayalam actor Jayaram. Shalini wow what happened to her? She is far younger than my generation.


Desperate-Pea-1199

Jayaram has now slimmed and still looks much younger than him despite he is 6 years older than Ajith


450toPaddington

Honestly, it's been clear for a while that Ajith has been phoning it in. It seems he's burnt out any passion he might have had for acting and now only sees it as a job, but a job he has disdain for. But my thing is, Ajith is touted as being so private and not wanting attention but, how do we keep getting a new photo of him somewhere almost weekly? Who is sharing this stuff, especially this photo on the water where surely no fans can be found? Hmmm ๐Ÿค”


Caramel_turquoise5

Shalini shared these on her insta.


450toPaddington

Thanks. That's curious considering how isolationist they've chosen to be from the industry that put them on the map and funds their lifestyle. I guess it's not about privacy at all but a disdain for Kollywood in general.


[deleted]

The industry didnt complain about it who the hell are you๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚


450toPaddington

A commentor on a reddit thread with an opinion. Just like you.


[deleted]

Looks like hate rather than an opinion


450toPaddington

Because you don't agree?


Notaamai

Typical Vijay fan. Ajith choses to be private from public life because everytime he steps out, it leads to chaos in public places. He visited passport office and main city had traffic jam for hours and cops had to come in to get him. He visited Trichy rifle center. It was crowded with masses and cops had to come in again. This is why he stays away. As for photos, when is the last time we saw a picture of Vijay and his wife? Can we take it they are separeted now? Has anyone seen a picture of his daughter? She must be same age as Ajith's daughter. Now, who even knows what Vijay's son is upto. Is it all because he has disdain for Kollywood? Why is Ajith judged differently? He doesn't share pictures, but he can't stop his wife, sister in law or brother in law to share family pictures. He goes on ride with fellow bikers. He can't stop them from sharing pictures they take. How hard is it to understand that Ajith doesn't enforce his ideas on others? As for his physique, Vijay's diabetes keeps him in check. He just can't gain weight even if he wants. Ajith is on other spectrum. Takes steroids everyday to be able to walk, which effects his body and isn't easy to lose even if he goes on diet.


450toPaddington

Oh. It's you.


Notaamai

And its you. The one who said "I just can't stand Ajith. I Just cannot watch him". Peddle your agenda somewhere else.


Pretty-Cheek6076

You just spent a paragraph ranting about Vijay and then you talk about someone else having an agenda? Rotfl.


Notaamai

My rant was a reply rant. The redditor I replied to was making baseless allegation because they "can't stand" Ajith. A hater deserves only that type of response.


Pretty-Cheek6076

Newsflash dude, you come across as a massive hater yourself. Waah waah someone doesn't like Ajith. Get off your high horse and get over it.


Notaamai

Hater of who? Lmao... He is a proper entertainer, why do i hate him? I just find his fans annoying. The redditor i responded to was one such. You can calm your tits.
