If the news about her payment is true, she will continue to retain the throne of the highest-paid actress down south.

Sye Raa has Amitabh Bachchan, Kichha Sudeep, Vijay Sethupathi, Jagapathi Babu, Tamannaah Bhatia and other actors in key roles. The film will release in Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil and Malayalam languages on October 2.

While the actress has worked with a number of senior heroes, including Nagarjuna Akkineni, Balakrishna, Ravi Teja, Venkatesh Daggubati and Prabhas, she had never had a chance to be paired against Megastar Chiranjeevi. With Sye Raa, thanks to director Surender Reddy, this has happened as well.
