Hrithik Roshan's remuneration for his cameo appearance in Jailer 2 has been a hot topic based on unverified news reports. A section of the national media reported that the star received an estimated paycheck of Rs 25 crore.
The reported amount stands out because of his short screen presence. The War 2 actor plays a character named Roddy who aids Rajinikanth's character during a key situation. He completed his entire shooting portion within a two-day schedule.
Hrithik might have received an additional paycheck after Jailer 2 achieved humongous success at the box office. Producers often award bonus payouts to major star cast members when a blockbuster generates massive profits.
To what extent Hrithik's cameo has helped Jailer 2 is not difficult to ascertain. The presence of Shah Rukh Khan would have been more effective. Did SRK say no because the remuneration that was on offer was not to his liking? That's in the realm of speculation. The fact of the matter is that Jailer was in the news for its star cameos, whereas none of the cameos in Jailer 2 has made any waves.
