Obviously he didn't earn 95crs for super 30 where the production scale was less, but he did for War only because of the time, effort and money being invested at his name. Every A list hero does that, Hrithik isn't doing anything which is weird or unseen before.
As far as War's success is questioned, why do we forget that the same YRF lost a huge chunk of money in their last biggie TOH which apparently was rejected by Hrithik due to the script issue, so if they pay him a big amount now after the mega success of War it's just business.
Akshay and Hrithik's market values are different, both have different styles, just because they're earning a lot doesn't mean they stop working, Akki follows his old habit of making four films a year and Hrithik follows his habit of making one film in two years, nobody has Changed despite the money they earn.
