Hrithik Roshan signs Rs. 550 crore TV rights deal

Hrithik Roshan has signed a massive Rs. 550 crore television rights deal for six of his upcoming films.

A source told Mumbai Mirror, “Hrithik’s last four films, over the last five years, from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara in 2011 and Agneepath in 2012 to Krrish 3 the following year and Bang Bang in 2014, all did well commercially which is the reason that this deal was inked. In fact, 2017 will begin with a bang for him with his home production Kaabil, a Sanjay Gupta-directed action-drama, which along with Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees will be one of the first big films of the year to unveil on the Republic Day weekend. Even before the film went on the floors, satellite rights were sold for Rs 45 crore. All the other films are expected to fetch around half a crore.”

Similarly, Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn and Varun Dhawan have a deal in place with leading television networks for exclusive telecast of their films.
