Nowadays, every Tom, Dick and Harriet is claiming to have cut a three-film/ four-film deal with a reputed production company in the country.
After Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar and John Abraham, every star's publicity machinery is churning out false information about supposed deals between stars and corporate houses, the latest being Kangana Ranaut, who according to rumours, has signed a three-film deal with Yash Raj Films.
But a highly-placed source at Yash Raj denie the deal completely!
"We've signed no deal with Miss Ranaut. We make deals for films, and not with actors.
If you notice, we do not bind even those stars who've been working with us with any kind of contract, so where's the question of signing a newcomer for a deal?'
So where are the rumours coming from? "Even I was surprised to hear about Kangana's deal with Yash Raj," says Suneel Darshan.
"The fact of the matter is, Shaka Laka Boom Boom is being looked upon as Kangana's first truly commercial film. And her future in mainstream cinema will depend on how she is accepted in my film.
The rest depends entirely on her destiny and on the way she conducts herself. There's no need for people to spread false rumours about her career. In the long run, it only makes her look compromised."
Even as rumours of Kangana's deal with Yash Raj are laid to rest, there's news that Hrithik's proposed deal with Adlabs has arrived at contractual snags.
Says a source, "It seems unlikely that the deal will go through from the way it is being spoken of in media circles.
The sum quoted is no joke. And Adlabs wants to make sure they get their money's worth from Hrithik."
As for the other staggering deals we heard about lately, let's just say there is no smoke and no fire. Just a lot of hoopla being generated by vested interests
