Koratala Siva getting Rs 16 for next movie?

Director Koratala Siva is man of the moment now. He has become the most sought after director in Tollywood as he directed three blockbusters. His has 100 % success ratio. He directed three movies – ‘Mirchi’ (2013), ‘Srimanthudu’ (2015) and ‘Janatha Garage’ (2016) – and all of them turned out to be blockbusters. This is why Mahesh Babu, knowing his mettle, gave the director another chance to direct him. For this, Koratala Siva is said to be getting a whopping Rs 16 Cr remuneration.

There is no official confirmation from Koratala and producer Danayya but sources in the industry say the director will be getting Rs 16 Cr but the director will have to bear taxes himself. He now stands as second highest paid director in Tollywood after top director S S Rajamouli. The ‘Baahubali’ director takes Rs 30 Cr remuneration plus share in profits.

The rise of Koratala Siva from being a writer to a director who commands Rs 16 Cr remuneration is a phenomenal.
