Rakesh Roshan’s big deal

Rakesh Roshan has sold Kites, starring Hrithik and Barbara Mori, for Rs 120 crore. So why did he crib about shelling out Rs 2 crore to composer Ram Sampat?

Rakesh Roshan might have lost on a few crores in the Ram Sampat copyright controversy just before his film Krazzy 4 hit the marquee.
But the tight-fisted Roshan needn’t mope about the loss.
It is learnt that the filmmaker has struck a deal to end all deals.
Roshan has sold the rights for his next production Kites, directed by Anurag Basu, to Eros International for a whopping Rs 120 crore.
The film stars Hrithik Roshan with US-based model-actress Barbara Mori besides Kangana Ranaut.
Token amount
A khabru says, “Rakesh Roshan is ecstatic. He has managed to sell Kites even before it hits the floors.
The amount is the highest-ever a movie has got till date.
The price has been pushed up because Hrithik has no other film lined up for release until Kites releases early next year.
Roshan Sr has received a token signing amount of Rs 10 crore and the rest will be paid as the shooting progresses.”
Roshan, who is back in Mumbai after location hunting in the US for Kites says, “No deal has been done.” But the khabru insists, “The filmmaker and Eros International do not want the deal to be publicised at this stage as it is too early.”

looks like filmkraft has a winner in hands
well if its sold for 120 crores it will be diffuclt for it to cross average tag let alone being hit
Taushif
Use your mind.Its sold for 120 CR.It snot profit.Profit is calculated substracting the Cost of Production from the Sale price.
bollywhiz and rajeev,
rights have been sold to EROS international by FILMKRAFT.
this means filmkraft will start counting BO figures from 120 cr+,(similar to what oso did as rights were sold for 75cr).
THE headche is of eros international whether it will click or not(and it is almost sure kites wud click given hrithik’s triumphant run at the boxoffice(krrish,d2,ja) plus the filmkraft banner.)
rajeev,
oso was sold for 75 cr and it made 86 cr(nett) at the boxoffice,so going by ur logic,it shud be called above average not a blockbuster
good point faaruq
barbara is a real sex-bomb by the way,aahhhhhh
bollywhiz,
there is no doubt that kites will do well so lets see if it sets any new record at the BO besides this mamoth deal.

gurprret i am not sure of kites or ghajinis quoted price being true .
remember there were news all round of Ja sold for 90 crores when it was not will wait for some trade person to confirm it . till now Taran adash has just said singh is king sold for 72 crores.
EVen BOI has said about singh is king gone for record price
OSO was sold for 75 cr but made 120+ cr(home and overseas), so even eros made good money.Eros had rights both for home and overseas.Also Srk only got 40-45cr before the movie released and then the rest depended on the success.
please do more films hrithik. plz plz plz
