Has Hrithik Hiked His Price After Two Blockbusters?

Hrithik  Roshan  is  riding  an all-time career-high after two  back-to-back blockbusters  in  2019 . First came Super 30, the  bio-pic on mathematician  Anand Kumar which  belied all expectations by becoming a blockbuster.Then, doing a volte face, Hrithik  played a  suave intelligence  officer  in the actioner War  which  is expected  to be the  biggest  hit  of  2019.

He is now being wooed by almost every  major  filmmaker  in the country, including Sanjay LeelaBhansali,  Aanand Rai, Farah Khan, Aditya Chopra, Karan  Johar and  Sajid Nadiadwala .

 Understandably   the  Superstar’s price tag has  become inflated. While the exact figure  being demanded  by Roshan is  not known(no actor reveals his actual fee to anyone—not even to  his  wife—only his chartered accountant) a source working closely with the Superstar  tells this  writer that  Roshan’s remuneration has increased “substantially”.

And  the  new  price applies to  all,  including  Yash Raj films. This means , if Aditya  Chopra wants  to sign Hrithik  for  the  sequel  of War he  would have to pay Hrithik his enhanced  remuneration.

With every A-lister  from Akshay to Ayushmann  charging through the  roof the time has come for  the  film industry to look  for  a new generation of stars.
