Rohit Shetty gets Rs 25 crore for his next directorial venture!

We’ve heard of superstars getting paid exorbitant as acting fee for their films, but it’s director Rohit Shetty who has been signed by producer Sangeeta Ahir for an amount of Rs 25 crore,  to remake a Tamil film ‘Soodhu Kavvum’ in Hindi.

The producer confirmed that the fee is the highest sum paid to any director in Bollywood

“Yes, we have paid Rohit an exorbitant price. It’s the highest fee given to any director, but then it works as Rohit Shetty is a huge brand in himself. It’s a comedy film and his forte, so people want to see it. Right now, it is still in the scripting stage. We haven’t approached any actor as yet. I am waiting for Rohit to return from Hyderabad where he’s shooting for Dilwale and then we will finalise everything.”

In the past, Rohit Shetty has directed blockbusters like ‘Golmaal 3’ and ’Chennai Express’. He was also the director behind the super-successful Golmaal and Singham series of films.

  • neeraj pandey is the best director in bollywood, his all three movies are absolute gem – a wednesday,special26,baby

  • prdp will be another blockbuster making it eight out of last nine films of salman.if prdp makes 300, SALMAN WILL MAKE DOMESTIC EARNING OF 2000 CR IN LAST SEVEN YEARS FROM WANTED. Worldwide will be close to 3200cr in last seven years. This is the power of emperor salman with last eight of nine releases going to become blockbusters. Srk ruled 2000-2009 & ruled overseas but could not give an atbb domestic in that period nor 1000cr overseas in his entire career.

  • Overrated director

    Don’t know why giving such huge amount of money to him
    If movie to be grand than superstar is needed and which intern cost 25-30 cr minimum
    So increase budget hugely only due to starcast so
    Entire cost including advertisement would be 150 cr
    So movie have yo collect 309 cr net to break even
    Impossible without salman khan in movie which also increases bUdget upto 160-165 cr so need 330 cr to break even
    Hard even for salman film
    So risky project

  • @SK 08:11 am : Your “Should be” might work in “Lalluland” but not in real life world. So stop burning and be ready for a cardiac attack post this Xmas.

    @Zack 9:39 am : You idiot, Rohit chased SRK for two complete years to get him as a lead in CE. Rohit without SRK = 10+ movies , 200 cr
    So stop blabbering.

    @Ultron a lunatic 12:31 pm : That’s why he has not casted non-actor khan till date? Right you moron. Your logic perfectly suits on criminal khan. Keep trolling yourself in the same way.

  • @srk you dumbass, who told you all these rubbish about CE breaking 3 idiots’ trp record? 3 idilts has highets trp ever since last decade and its most watched and most loved movie on TV as well as theater. Shit movie CE failed to come even miles close to 3 idiots in terms of footfalls and couldn’t come close to 3 idiots even I TV as well. Dont blabber rubbish. 3 idilts was, is and will always remain best and most loved Indian movie on tv as well as theater.
