In fact, we had already revealed to you how Guneet Monga had approached SK to step into Suriya's shoes in the Hindi remake of Soorarai Pottru. "It will be a mix of films and shows that he has committed to. If the Soorarai Pottru remake happens, it will be only for web; that's the plan as of now. Apart from that, Shahid is also doing another action thriller to be directed by Aditya Nimbalkar. That also might be a direct to OTT film. Although the projects have not been completely locked, Shahid has signed the overall deal and committed to work with Netflix on several projects in the near future." Reportedly, Ajay Devgn and Hrithik Roshan too have been roped in by Hotstar to spearhead two series. While Ajay's remuneration is still under wraps, Hrithik is supposedly getting Rs 80 crore just for one show. Shahid, on the other hand, has got a bigger deal of Rs 100 crore, but it will include more than just one film or a series.
