Adlabs To Rope In John Abraham For Rs 22 cr

The Anil Ambani-owned Adlabs Films is all set to sign Bollywood actor John Abraham in a three-film deal for close to Rs 22-crore. If the Abraham-Adlabs deal goes through, it will make it one of the most expensive in the Indian film industry after the Rs 35-crore that Adlabs reportedly doled out to rope in Hrithik Roshan, again in a three-film contract, last year. Almost all big production houses have dabbled with the model of signing directors so far. While Adlabs has signed movie deals with Vipul Shah, Bobby Bedi among others, Sahara Motion Pictures had a three-movie deal with Madhur Bhandarkar. Also, Balaji Films and Percept Pictures signed similar multi-movie contracts with other directors. Adlabs is perhaps the only production house to have ventured beyond directors to include actors, even actor-director combine as well. In fact, the Hrithik Roshan deal with Adlabs is understood to be as one which involves his father Rakesh Roshan as well. The duo are planning the third part of Krrish under the Adlabs banner.
