Did Trisha Krishnan Reduce Her Fee To Star Opposite Vijay After 15 Years? Here Is What We Know

Trisha Krishnan is one of the highest-paid actresses of the South Indian film industry. With films like Saamy, Ghilli, Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana, ’96, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, 96, Ponniyin Selva: I, Ponniyin Selvan: II and many more, she proved her versatility as an actress. However, amid her on-screen pairing with all the leading stars, her chemistry with Thalapathy Vijay is the most loved by the audience.

Why did Trisha Krishnan and Thalapathy Vijay stop working together?

Trisha and Vijay starred opposite each other for the first time in the film, Ghilli, released in 2004. The film was a blockbuster hit, and soon they were signed for many more films. Following the success of Ghilli, Trisha and Vijay appeared in films such as Aathi, Thirupachi, and Kuruvi. Their on-screen camaraderie was loved by their fans, and they were rooted for their effortless performances.

The on-screen chemistry led to many rumours of an alleged affair between them. Trisha was single at that time, but Vijay was already married to Sangeetha Sornalingam. Rumour of Vijay having an extra-marital affair spread like wildfire and soon reached his parents. Upset by the ongoing rumours and the tension at home, Vijay’s family asked him to stop working with Trisha, and he obliged.

Trisha Krishnan only charged half of her fee to work opposite Vijay after 15 years

After 15 long years, Trisha and Vijay came back on screen together opposite each other. Trisha, who was the highest-paid actress at that time, charged Rs. 10-12 crore for a film. But when the actress signed on to Vijay’s Leo, she reportedly reduced her fee to Rs. 5 crores.

Released in 2023, Leo was the first collaboration of Tisha and Vijay after 15 long years. After the release of Leo, fans went crazy to witness Vijay and Trisha create the same magic after so long. Leo was a blockbuster and broke many records. The film turned out to be the highest-grossing Tamil film, grossing Rs. 605-615 crore worldwide.

She never missed a chance to heap praises on Vijay on social media, further speculating on the news of their romance.

She alleged that her husband is involved in an affair with an actress, even though he reassured her several times. A few days after the news of his divorce surfaced in the media, Vijay attended a wedding with Trisha. After their pic surfaced, people were sure the couple had indirectly hinted that they were dating.
