Highest paid director?
Tejaa, who commands Rs 9 crores (Rs 90 million) per film, is one of the highest paid directors in the country.
He insists he does not make films for the money. "If I wished I could have made many films. I have directed only four films, starting with Chithram, which was about teenage pregnancy, for Ramaji Rao. It was followed by Family Circus, Nuvvu Nenu and Jayam."
His Bollywood debut, Yeh Dil (a remake of Nuvvu Nenu), starring Tusshar Kapoor and Anita, had a low-key release last week.
