Mumbai, Jul 9: Hrithik Roshan is all set to be the highest paid in India with his upcoming film 'Mohenjo Daro'. According to the sources, Hrithik is being paid Rs 50 crores for the venture. The movie is produced and directed by Ashutosh Gowariker.
Ashutosh is still to find a studio to back this project. His last film 'Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se' was a washout at the box office. So he is finding it difficult to get financial support from the studio.
Hrithik will not be taking profit percentage from the project, which is normally done by the superstars. The movie is a periodic film set in Indus valley civilization. This will be Ashutosh and Hrithik's second periodic venture. Their last film was 'Jodha Akbar', which was a huge hit when it was released in 2008.
The heroine for this new venture is not yet selected. There are certain rumours going around in the industry that Sonakshi Sinha will be selected to be paired opposite Hrithik. The movie is slated to release in 2016.
