After the grand success of ‘Jannat’, Bhatts’ favorite actor Emraan Hashmi has hiked up his price to Rs 5 crore per movie.

While speaking to the reporters, the serial kisser said, “Ya my price has gone up. I won’t say drastically. But, right now, i can quote a higher price with some justification. And why not? Equations change every Friday. The sun has started shining for me. I seem to have had a solo hit at a time when only Akshay Kumar and the Khans (Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman) seem to be getting the audiences in.”

This is Emraan’s first hit after Bollywood flops like The Train, Good Boy, Bad Boy and Awarapan.

“I’ve cut about 15 cakes in the past week. And I’ve just bought a new car. I was so confident about Jannat that I had it delivered home on the day of its release,” Emraan added.

While talking of the latest buzz, it has been reported that Emraan has also backed out of a film that was to be produced by the makers of Khosla Ka Ghosla, and had a Hollywood studio backing it.

Not rejecting these reports Emraan told that he is in no mood to decide for anything less that what he demanded.

“I wouldn’t like to comment on which project I’ve backed out from. But yes, we were in serious negotiations. I had only to sign the contract. They were waiting to see how Jannat would do at the Box Office. But now, the ball is in my court. Since I’m in a position to negotiate now, why should I sign the film at a price I was supposed to? They were playing the wait-and-watch game. Now that they’ve watched, it’s my turn, he said.

Jannat, which released with 317 prints on 700 screens crosswise the country, has successfully completed two weeks and in Mumbai alone it has earned over Rs 20.5 million.

The film’s all India collection stood at around Rs 200 million and the movie has already made profits, considering that it was made on a modest budget of Rs 100 million.

Approaching the third week of its success in 47 cinemas in Mumbai, it continues to draw house-full crowds. Moreover, Jannat is also running successfully in Pakistan.
