Indian films mainly, run on the popularity of stars. Male actors who command an opening get highest pay check for any film and at times, we see directors getting as much as the actors.
Very rarely we see technicians like Cinematographer, music composer and VFX expert get much higher than the hero.
But Baahubali Cinematographer, Senthil Kumar has been able to break that norm. He got a remuneration more than the hero for his next film.
Producers and director, TN Santhosh, felt that they need master camera person, to handle their visual story telling film and hence, approached Senthil.
He got excited for the job but put forth his remuneration. They agreed to pay him that amount even though it is higher that Nikhil's remuneration.
Well, when you have a beastly success like Baahubali on your resume and a name that most trusted and liked Cinematographer of SS Rajamouli, a brand in himself, you can make anything happen!
