Siddharth Anand overtakes Ayan Mukerji as highest paid director at YRF; check out his staggering fee

Pathaan’s success benefits everyone. Director Siddharth Anand became one of the blue-eyed boys of the Indian film industry after Pathaan crossed Rs 1,000 crore at the global box office. The mega blockbuster was a solid comeback for Shah Rukh Khan. The superstar went through a lull phase after the failure of films like Fan and Zero. Yash Raj Films also faced back-to-back failures like Shamshera and Jayeshbhai Jordaar, but the success of Pathaan changed things immensely. Now Bollywood Hungama has reported that Siddharth Anand has become the highest paid director at YRF.

Sources told Bollywood Hungama that Siddharth Anand will get Rs 40 crore as his fee for Pathaan Vs Tiger. This is the highest amount that any banner has paid a director in Bollywood. The source was quoted as saying, “This is their way of congratulating Siddharth Anand for living up to the expectations of delivering entertainers time and again.” Yash Raj Films hopes that Siddharth Anand can do justice to the script written by Aditya Chopra for Pathaan Vs Tiger. In the film, the two spies will share love and hate, but will finally come together to fight against a common enemy.

SIDDHARTH ANAND DISPLACES AYAN MUKERJEE

It is now known that Aditya Chopra has brought Ayan Mukerji on board for War 2. The film is a sequel to the 2019 Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff blockbuster. Ayan will be paid Rs 32 crore for War 2. It seems Aditya Chopra was convinced that Ayan Mukerji can deliver the goods after seeing his work in Brahmastra – Part One Shiva. Tiger Vs Pathaan is the costliest film of YRF’s spy universe. The source added, “It aims to be the biggest Indian film and will release in 2025. Who better than Siddharth Anand to deliver the magnum opus.”

Siddharth Anand has apparently signed a deal worth Rs 65 crore with Mythri Movie Makers for a film with Prabhas. But he put that film on the backburner. His ambition is to make the best action film in India. This is something that goes beyond monetary considerations. The source told Bollywood Hungama, “Directing SRK and Salman in one film is a dream for every director in India. No one would want to miss the opportunity.”
