That Hrithik Roshan is going to be a part of Ashutosh Gowariker's period flick "Mohenjo Daro" is a stale news. What's latest is that the actor has demanded an astronomical Rs. 50 crore to be a part of this love story set in IndusValley Civilisation. Whoa!

Slated for release on Jan 22, just before Republic Day in 2016, the actor feels that his whopping remuneration for a film of that scope and size is totally justified.

When asked by a leading daily about it, the actor quippped that what he charges is his business and says he is justified in what he is charging as part of a profitable business.

'Mohenjo Daro' is being co-produced by Disney India's Studio business and Ashutosh Gowariker Production Pvt. Ltd. (AGPPL).

The film is all set to hit the floors in October 2014. Its first schedule will be shot in South Africa.
