Tamil actress Kayadu Lohar’s film journey had a slow start. She began in Kannada cinema in 2021 and worked in Malayalam, Telugu, and Marathi films, but didn’t make much impact. Everything changed when she entered Tamil cinema with the movie Dragon. The film became a hit, and Kayadu’s role got noticed, making her one of the most talked-about names in Kollywood.

Before Dragon, she reportedly earned around 30 lakhs, with an extra 70 lakhs after the film’s success. Now, her fee has reportedly jumped to over 2 crores. This rise reflects how much the industry values her now. Big names like Simbu and Dhanush are interested in casting her for their next films. Simbu’s 49th movie and a project by Vignesh Raja, plus a film with Dhanush directed by Tamilarasan, are said to want her on board.

According to sources, her salary could increase by an additional 3 crores if the Dhanush movie is made. That is a significant leap and demonstrates how an actor's career may be drastically altered by a single hit. In order to maintain her momentum, she is also working on additional Tamil and Telugu projects.

The ascent of Kayadu Lohar demonstrates how unexpected movie success may alter everything. Dragon has given her a new beginning and elevated her to a rising star in Tamil cinema, bringing her from minor roles to big earnings.
