Ranbir Kapoor has his diary booked till almost the end of next year. With nearly six films slated for release in the next two years (‘Besharam’, ‘Bombay Velvet’, ‘Roy’, ‘Jagga Jasoos’, Imtiaz Ali’s next and Ayan Mukerji’s next), Ranbir is in huge demand. But looks like the actor has made one thing clear. If producers want to sign him for their projects, big or small, they must be willing to shell out Rs 15 Crores. Yes Rs 15 Crores is what Abhinav Kashyap (director Besharam) and debutant Vicky Singh (for a special appearance in ‘Roy’) have paid to Ranbir Kapoor. Riding high on his successes with his fantastic performances in ‘Barfi’ and ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ (both, where he apparently has charged Rs 8 Crores), Ranbir Kapoor had already planned his fee-hike. Be it a special appearance in ‘Roy’ alongside the lead, Arjun Rampal, or a full-fledged 100 day schedule of ‘Besharam’, where he plays the lead. Incidentally Ranbir also demands a share from the profits from his films, like Aamir Khan, who started the trend with ‘3 Idiots’. With all of Ranbir Kapoor’s films having made bumper money at the box-office, it’s a jackpot cracked for Ranbir. No wonder that the lad is collaborating with director Anurag Basu and co-producing ‘Jagga Jasoos’ under the banner ‘Picture Shuru Productions’ ‘Picture Shuru’ is a joint venture between the fabulous duo of Ranbir Kapoor and Anurag Basu. The films produced under this banner will star Ranbir in lead roles, while Anurag will direct the films. Their first production, ‘Jagga Jasoos’ will go on floors this year, and Ranbir Kapoor will reportedly play a detective (‘jasoos’) in the film. The duo are also reportedly finalising the details of the Kishore Kumar biopic, that is very close to Anurag Basu’s heart.
