Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif starrer mega- budget upcoming flick  ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ is still unsold and producers are finding it  hard to sell the movie on their terms due to bombing of Hrithik- Barbara  Mori’s last venture ‘Kites’ at the box office. Sources from the trade  reveal that the producers had approached two big corporate houses for  the film.
But they never reverted with positive answers and believed to have told  that they could not commit big sum of amount on Hrithik Roshan now. The  buzz is that Ritesh Sidhwani of Excel Entertainment wanted Hrithik  Roshan-Katrina Kaif starrer ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ to be sold along  with Abhishek Bachchan-Kangna Ranaut ‘Game’ for a whopping sum of Rs 100  crores.
But corporate houses were unwilling to bet on these two stars after the  debacle of big -budget flicks ‘Kites’ and Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavan’. They  are not willing to pay this amount without going through every detail  about the film and then even pruning.
The amount to reasonable level. Hrithik Roshan-Katrina Kaif starrer  flick has been directed by Zoya Akhtar and largely shot in Spain. The  film has big canvas and even the expertise of a good director like Zoya,  but corporates have been refusing to bite the bait.
‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ also has Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol  playing important roles in it. The film has already been hyped and in  the news for Katrina Kaif keeping herself busy for almost a month to  shoot  the film and even sacrificing Salman Khan and her own birthday  celebrations for this.The industry sources say that despite of all this  corporate buyers are not willing to shell that amount for the flicks.
The chances are that producers of the flicks will go for a reduced  amount and may also increase the number of films from two to three to  close the deal. However, this is all still in the realm of possibility  and needed to be put in black and white.
