Thalapathy Vijay`s `GOAT` (Greatest Of All Times) hit the theatres worldwide on September 5. Fans rushed to the theatre on day one to catch the first show. Some cities saw shows as early as 4 am on first day. People took to the streets to celebrate the release of the Venkat Prabhu directorial. The film presented Vijay as a true-blue commercial hero, just the way his fans love to watch him. The film was made on a massive budget and has been doing impressive business at the box-office owing to the superstar`s popularity. But do you know? Thalapathy has charged a whopping sum for the film overtaking major male stars in Bollywood as well. 

Vijay takes away biggest chunk in actor salaries in GOAT

Vijay plays a double role in the film and seems to have charged separately for both roles. At least the figures make us feel that way. The film was made on a budget of Rs 400 crore making it one of the most expensive movies made in the Tamil film industry. Vijay`s fees commanded 50 percent of the film`s budget as he charged Rs 200 cr. His fees have truly been justified with his superstardom and his ability to pull a massive audience to the theatres time and again.
