No % in profits: Top director signs 25Cr deal

As the present trend goes, most of the Bollywood top directors are making profit sharing deal, i.e., percentage from the profits a film makes. Even Bollywood top director Rohit Shetty is no different. But for his next, instead of becoming co-producer by signing deal of sharing percentage from the profits, he is charging a whooping amount.

The producer of Rohit Shetty’s next directorial venture of Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Dilwale’ Sangeeta Ahir is ready to dole out an amount of Rs.25 Crore as Rohit’s remuneration to remake the super hit Tamil comedy film ‘Soodu Kavvam’ in Hindi. He is one director who has 9 super hit movies and only two flops in the initial stages of his career.

Besides being a successful director, Rohit Shetty is doing great on television with ‘Khatron Ki Khiladi’ adventurous reality show. He has become a brand now. And people recognise his movies by his name and hence such big remuneration for the film maker who is known to make only super hit films.
