John to seal a multi-crore deal

There are hushed whispers in the industry about John Abraham's three-movie contract with Adlabs.

Although it is a closely-guarded secret, we hear that the actor has already had a series of meetings with Adlabs .

According to an insider, "John is close to signing a Rs 22 crore deal for three movies with Adlabs.

It has been finalised but hasn't been signed as yet. The finer details are being worked upon, and John would be signing it soon."

Our source adds, "Adlabs had shortlisted a series of actors for this deal and John has emerged to be their unanimous choice."

Super excited

It's too early to look out for a public announcement, say the sources. "It is likely to happen in the coming weeks. But John is quite excited about the development, though he still has to sign on the dotted line. If this deal comes through then it will be one of the most expensive deals in recent times."

A three-movie deal will get John anything between Rs 7 to 7.5 crore a movie. However another source says that the number of projects is still to be decided.

"The number of movies is in discussion. But it will most likely be less than ten. John charges more than Rs 2 crore for his films and this deal will zoom him ahead of many other actors."

It is believed that John will ink the contract before he takes off for London later this month.

"John's choices of movies and his understanding of cinema makes him an easy choice for such an offer.

He's matured into a fine actor and his movie portfolio is remarkably impressive," adds an insider from Adlabs.
Now let's wait for the official announcement.

Mega contracts

Hrithik Roshan has a Rs 35 crore deal with Adlabs for three movies.

Akshay Kumar has signed up with Percept Picture Company for Rs 6.5 crore.
