Vidhu Vinod Chopra has roped in Abhijat Joshi to pen the script of Wazir by paying a big sum of upto 2 crores, which is a huge figure for a writer.

Writer Abhijat Joshi, has penned the scripts of blockbusters like Munna Bhai MBBS (2003), 3 Idiots (2009) and PK (2014).

It's known that writers in Bollywood are paid a relatively small amount, usually in lakhs, for writing a film's script. However, Abhijat seems to have broken the set pattern. Being an outsider, he has been groomed by Vidhu and film-maker Rajkumar Hirani. He has been the writer for all their blockbuster collaborations.

Vidhu said, "I think writers, just like directors, are the most important people in the film-making process when it comes to putting out a good product. Our audience is intelligent, and good content that is entertaining, is what drives them to the theatres. I feel that writers deserve to be paid well, and that's all that I've done with Abhijat."

Wazir written by Abhijat Joshi and Vidhu Vinod Chopra will see Farhan Akhtar performing action for the very first time alongside superstar Amitabh Bachchan.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Wazir is an action drama directed by Bejoy Nambiar and distributed by Reliance Entertainment which is set to release on January 8th, 2016.
