The War franchise, headlined by Hrithik Roshan is set to return to the big screens with its sequel War 2 on August 14th, and the stakes of the project are more ambitious this time around. It is learnt that superstar Hrithik Roshan has inked a deal with the producers that involves Rs 50 cr upfront payment plus profit sharing. Trade sources predict the total remuneration of the Actor to be in the vicinity of Rs 100 crore.
War (2019) emerged as the highest-grossing film of the year and set a box office precedent with the character of Kabir (portrayed by Roshan) becoming a sensation across India upon the film's release. Nearly 6 years later, Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise the role of Major Kabir in the 6th film of YRF's spy universe, War 2.
Interestingly, Hrithik has inked a similar deal for War (2019) and owing to its blockbuster success, the superstar had walked away with a lion's share of the profit. Earlier, YRF has offered a similar profit-sharing deal to Bollywood's three Khans, in addition to Hrithik. With War 2, Hrithik has charged a fee of Rs 50 crore and will earn over Rs 100 with the profit sharing deal.
