Jason Sanjay, son of Tamil Nadu Vetri Kazhagam Party leader Vijay, is making his directorial debut with a film produced by Lyca Productions. Initially, it was reported that Jason would star in the film as the lead, but it was later confirmed that actor Sundeep Kishan has been signed as the hero. The film, which also features music by Thaman, is set to begin shooting soon, though the title has yet to be revealed.

Sundeep Kishan, known for his impressive role as Dhanush's younger brother in Rayan, was chosen by Jason for his acting talent. This has sparked a new controversy, however, regarding Jason's salary. Reports claim that Jason Sanjay has been paid a staggering Rs. 10 crore for directing his debut film, a sum many feel is excessive for a newcomer.

Critics on social media argue that the hefty salary is because Jason is Vijay's son, with some questioning whether it's fair for him to be paid so much without having proven his directorial skills yet. However, supporters counter that it is Lyca Productions' decision how much to pay, and that talent will ultimately determine whether Jason's film lives up to expectations. They also emphasize that nepotism doesn’t guarantee success in Kollywood, and fans will only accept the film if it delivers quality content.

Despite the backlash, some believe that once the film is released, the audience will judge whether Jason's Rs. 10 crore salary is justified based on the final product.
