Not too long ago, there was a collective gasp of disbelief when word got out that Hrithik Roshan was on the verge of signing a Rs 35 crore deal with Adlabs. With three films in the offing, it could automatically catapult Hrithik to be the highest paid actor in Hindi cinema — in the league of Shah Rukh Khan, who was reportedly paid Rs 12 crore for ‘Don’.
But talks between the actor and Adlabs are still dragging on and sources now insist that the final amount could actually be substantially less by the time Hrithik signs on the dotted line.
“What seems realistic now is anything between Rs 25-30 crore. Negotiations are still on and they will finally decide the amount based on Hrithik’s market price post the release of ‘Dhoom 2’,” says a source.
Hrithik and the people at Adlabs had never confirmed the ‘Rs 35 crore deal’. But the real figures should be out soon enough. “Negotiations with Hrithik are still on so we cannot divulge the final amount,” said a spokesperson of Adlabs. Incidentally, Akshay Kumar has already been signed on by Adlabs for a four-film deal for Rs 16 crore.
