It is known that Bollywood blockbuster ‘3 Idiots’ is being remade in Telugu and Tamil under the direction of Shankar. Prince Mahesh will be doing the lead role in Telugu while Vijay will be doing the same in Tamil. But the heroine for both the versions is one, and she is Ileana. It is the general trend (in Indian cinema) that a heroine is paid only once for any number of versions. But director Shankar agreed to pay a whopping 1.5 crore for her for both the versions. With that she has become the first heroine in the entire South Indian Cinema to receive such a huge amount for a film.
The beautiful actress has already set a record a taker of highest remuneration in Telugu. Now, she had proved herself as top heroine in the South.
