There is no debating the fact that Anirudh is the highest paid star music director in South Indian cinema. He is also one of the highest billed music composers in all of India. His immediate next Telugu film is Devara and here is an interesting report on the same.
According to reports, Anirudh is being paid in the range of Rs 12 crores for Devara and this is the highest cheque he is drawing in his career thus far.
Anirudh has become the top-billed South music director with Devara and this is a reflection of the kind of demand that he has amongst the current crop of Tollywood filmmakers. The youngster is making the right inroads in his career and he is creating a legacy for himself.
If Devara succeeds, it could open new avenues for Anirudh in Telugu.
