Bollywood and Tamil cinema come together for a web series. Tamil star Vijay Sethupathi is no less famous and loved that any other Bollywood star. The actor has a huge fan base leveling up with stars like Ranveer Singh and Varun Dhawan.
Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupati are all set to share screen space for Amazon Prime Video’s series which will be directed by Raj and DK.
A source close to development reveals, “It’s a plot about two men whose lives intersect in an unexpected way. Nothing like this has been done in India for the OTT platform. Shahid and Vijay have parallel tracks. Their stories are separate in most of the plot.”
Further, the source revealed to Bollywood Hungama, “Shahid asked for a hefty Rs. 40 crores plus for the whole season and his contract also mentions a hike in his remuneration if the show gets renewed for another season. The plan is to make it into three seasons as of now. Vijay, on the other hand, has not put a clause like that but straight away asked for a sum of around Rs. 55 crores. Both of them have roles that are on equal footing but Vijay is undoubtedly a mega star from South and the makers agreed on the deal. He is getting a much bigger sum compared to Shahid but unlike Shahid, his contract has no mention of any hike for the second season.”
