If that’s not greed, then what is? Hrithik Roshan has been offered to play the lead role in one of director Ashutosh Gwarikar’s forthcoming films Moenjo Daro.

Ashutosh G is known for his penchant for making off-beat films (Swades, Jodha Akbar). Apparently, the total budget for the film is Rs100 crores and Hrithik R is demanding half of it (Rs50 crores). The demand has put the makers of the movie in a quandary. They might have to replace the actor with a cheaper one, in terms of actors’ fee, that is.
