But there is more to boggle Bollywood's collective mind. According to a highly placed source Hrithik has been given a carte- blanche by Adlabs.
Says the source, "Not only has Hrithik been signed for his an unheard-of amount by Adlabs he also has the freedom to pick and choose the nature and genre of the projects.
The superstar is free to choose the director of his own choice, as well as the script, co-star and the rest of the unit and crew for each set-up. In short Hrithik is in complete creative control of what he chooses to do, with whom."
Though the Krissh star isn't allowed to talk about the deal or what kind of films he would like to do with Adlabs, apparently he's looking at the new breed of directors who have come in during the last two years.
In the meanwhile Rakesh Roshan has finally zeroed in on a story idea for his next super-hero film with Hrithik. This film is expected to start sometime towards the end of 2007. At the moment Hrithik is all set to leave for Jaipur to start shooting for Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodha-Akbar. Once that's out of the way he starts work on Zoya Akhtar's film. So when would he be able to do the three films for Adlabs?
"Oh, that's no problem. The deal stretches into three years. So Hrithik can spread out the films as and how he likes,"says the source.
In the meanwhile Bollywood's highest paid actor was busy on Wednesday night bringing in his wife Suzanne's birthday on Thursday. "I'll speak about all this at the right time."
