Why Hrithik Roshan and KJo's film is the most awaited release of 2012
Hrithik Roshan in 'Agneepath'
There's just about a month to go for the release of Karan Johar's 'Agneepath' remake, and it looks set to be the movie to beat in 2012. Reportedly, tracking among audiences as well as trade analysts indicates that the Hrithik Roshan starrer will, in all probability, cross the Rs100 crore mark.
The film, produced by KJo, has also been voted the most awaited release of 2012 in a poll by Ormax Media.
In the poll, 'Agneepath' was followed by Yash Chopra's directorial project starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma; on the number three spot was Salman Khan's 'Ek Tha Tiger', next came Sallu's 'Dabangg 2', and number five was Akshay Kumar's 'Rowdy Rathore'.
The buzz is that the satellite rights of 'Agneepath' have already been sold for a jaw-dropping Rs41 crores, believed to be the highest ever for a Hindi film.
Hrithik is still riding high on the success of 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara', and this movie, where he's the sole hero, will give fans that much more of him. But will he deliver an opening that will blow Bollywood's collective mind? Watch this space for updates!
