Hrithik refuses Yash Raj Banner!

It is learnt that the real reason for the actor's refusal is that now he only wants to star in films that are co-produced under his home banner Film Kraft

Hrithik Roshan has apparently fallen out of favour with the Yash Raj banner. If sources are to be believed, Hrithik refused to be a part of Aditya Chopra's next. This is not the new film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi starring Shah Rukh Khan, announced on Friday, but another project which Aditya was contemplating.

An industry insider reveals, "Hrithik has decided not to be a part of Aditya Chopra's project. Adi had a film in mind that was to be a two-hero project. Aditya wanted Shah Rukh and Hrithik for it."

The source continues, "When Adi approached Hrithik, he declined the offer and gave him the clichéd reason of having a date problem. This was because he starts shooting for Anurag Basu's film in March and Adi wanted his dates from May itself."

However, it is learnt that the real reason for the actor's refusal is that now he only wants to star in films that are co-produced under his home banner Film Kraft.

Continues the source, "All directors going for script narrations get the standard line of 'why don't you make this film for my dad's banner'. Even the film Anurag Basu is making with Hrithik is a co-production between UTV, Basu and Film Kraft."

A source at Yash Raj who wanted to remain anonymous said, "Because of Hrithik not doing the film, Aditya scrapped the project. Now he will just be concentrating on Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi with Shah Rukh and a new girl, as Adi has as many as three scripts sitting with him at the moment."
Rakesh Roshan remained unavailable for comment.
