While the whole world went gaga over Hrithik’s dancing skills ever since his debut film, offers kept on pouring in his kitty to host TV shows, something that he kept on avoiding (read ‘postponing’). And now, the news is that Hrithik has finally given into the temptation.

The big news is that he will soon be hosting a TV dance show called ‘So You Think You Can Dance’. Its also rumored that Hrithik will be paid a whopping Rs. 2 crore to play the host! The news doesn’t stop here. Rumors also have it that the show will have Farah Khan as one of the judges.

With the two dancing masters, viz. Farah and Hrithik on board, we are sure, dancing will only get better with every passing day or maybe episode!

Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik turns 37

Bollywood ‘superhero’ and heartthrob of millions of females world wide, Hrithik Roshan, turns 37 on Monday.
Here are some trivia about the macho Roshan junior, as he prepares to rejoice the all important day in his life.

Hrithik debut in the glamorous world of Bollywood as a child actor in films like- ‘Aasha’, ‘Aap Ke Deewane’, ‘Bhagwan Dada’.

Both ‘Bhagwan Dada’ and ‘Aap Ke Deewane’ featured his father Rakesh Roshan in the lead role.

Later on Hrithik also followed his father and went on to help his father as an assistant director in films like “Karan Arjun” and “Koyla”, before making his debut in the blockbuster ‘Kahoo Naa Pyar Hai’ that was directed by his father.

In this exciting career, Hrithik has received multiple awards besides winning his first international award at the Golden Minbar International Film Festival for his performance in the period film ‘Jodhaa Akbar’.

It is said that in the year 2000, on the occasion of Valentine’s Day, Hrithik Roshan received an an unbelievable 30,000 marriage proposals. Surely this actor knew how to attract his female fans.

Hrithik’s list of favourite films include names like- ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’, ‘Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai’, ‘Sholay’, ‘Pretty Woman’ and’ When Harry Met Sally’.

In the coming months, Hrithik will be back with a couple films like ‘Zindagi Na Milegi’, ‘Dobara’ ‘Agneepath’, to spell his magic once again on the big screen.

Kareena Kapoor chooses Shahid over Hrithik and John

MUMBAI: Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor were once the mushy couple of the Bollywood tinsel town and were regular painters of the gossip columns. They even made headlines when their lip lock became a rage and did the nationwide tour via cellular mms.

However, after Saif flaunted his ‘Tashan’ and Kareena her lime-green bikini, a fresh love bloomed and Shahid got unceremoniously dumped. But you can’t prevent Kareena from being the candid gal that she is.

In ‘Koffee with Karan’, Kareena has hailed Shahid as the sexiest man. When Karan quizzed her asking her to name the sexiest actor from a list that included the names of the Greek God Hrithik, the cute Imran Khan, the macho Arjun Rampal and the dashing hunky John Abraham, Kareena confidently picked up Shahid’s name much to the surprise of beau Saif. Even Karan was stumped for once and Shahid must have had his heart in his mouth for one split second.

Kareena also took a jibe at Priyanka Chopra taunting her for her accent and calling her the number two actress after herself. Saif and Kareena lashed out their tongues and delighted Karan with more comments; something that is bound to stir the nation’s imagination. Earlier, the episode featuring Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone had also grabbed quite a few eyeballs.

Sanjay Dutt to play the main villain in Agneepath remake

One film that has been in the news ever since its announcement has been the remake of Agneepath to be directed by debutant Karan Malhotra and produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

By now its common knowledge that Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra star in the lead roles of this eagerly anticipated remake. However, the latest development is that besides Hrithik and Priyanka, Sanjay Dutt has also been signed for the film. Apparently, Sanjay would be playing the main villain in the remake (a role played by Danny Denzongpa in the original version)

It may be recalled that Hrithik and Sanju did clash with each other on-screen in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Mission Kashmir almost 10 years ago. Now with Hrithik playing the hero and Sanju the villain, it would be interesting to witness this clash all over again.

Hrithik hospitalized due to allergic reaction; will be discharged today

Hrithik Roshan returns home today. Speaking late in the night from hospital on Sunday he said, “It was an allergic reaction to the antibiotics I was taking. Lungs and throat went into spasm. I reached hospital just in time. All is cool now. I’m under observation.”

Hrithik’s role as a quadriplegic in Guzaarish seems to have taken more from him than he had bargain for. On Sunday evening, he was rushed to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital after a suspected allergy attack that was so violent that the star gave his family the scare of a lifetime.

On reaching the hospital at around 4pm, Hrithik was put under immediate surveillance by a battery of doctors. An hour after being admitted, unable to speak and in evident pain Hrithik said on the sms, “It was an allergic reaction. I made it to the hospital just in time. Fifteen minutes more could’ve proved fatal. They’re trying to figure out what it is. Lungs just closed. I got here to hospital just in time. My voice-box is affected.”

At the time of writing, Hrithik was under observation at Kokilaben with parents and wife Susanne besides him. News of Hrithik’s hospitalization began to spread in the film industry by late evening.

In high spirits and probably relieved to have overcome the terrible moments of health distress Hrithik was resting and recovering well under strict observation. “So finally I am in hospital. Damn so much to do!” sms-ed Hrithik chuckling in the face of adversity, just like his character in Guzaarish.

Hrithik has been very unwell for the last one week with suspected malaria (wrong alarm) barely able to get out of bed in the past few days but compelled to be physically active to promote his film.

But the spirited Hrithik says, “It’s all good. It’s always good. I was celebrating
Guzaarish at home. Now I’m celebrating in hospital.”

Shabana Azmi goes ga-ga over Hrithik’s performance in Guzaarish

Ever since they played mother and son in Fiza, Jaya Bachchan treats Hrithik Roshan like her own son. But now she has competition. Shabana Azmi, who saw Guzaarish, has adopted Hrithik. The multiple National award-winning actress says she has not seen a performance like Hrithik’s in Guzaarish in a very long while. “If I had a son I’d like him to be Hrithik. His eyes speak volumes. His body language and his whole demeanor is breathtaking. Main to fidaa ho gayi. Actor ho to aisa.”

Hrithik is overwhelmed by Shabana’s response. Says the superstar, “Of all the compliments I’ve received for Guzaarish so far, Shabanaji’s is the best. Actually, I haven’t had time to allow any of the compliments to sink in.”

So who says an actor cannot compliment another even if they are competing for the same roles and within the same box-office parameters can’t be friends?

After the screening, Abhishek was seen profusely complimenting Hrithik, thereby putting an end to all the talk about the two not seeing eye-to-eye since Hrithik’s pairing with Aishwarya is so much in-demand. “You should make an action film. There’s so much pent-up violence within you,” Abhishek was heard telling Sanjay Bhansali after the screening.

The Big B who has worked with SLB said the film was magical. “The way Sanjay creates on celluloid is just so awesome. Everything and everyone perfect.”

When asked to comment on his bahu Aishwarya’s performance, the Big B said she was “restrained and dignified”. Just like the Big B’s comment.

Hrithik Roshan down with malaria

It’s an important week for Hrithik Roshan as his big film Guzaarish releases this Friday (Nov 19) but as luck would have it, Hrithik has fallen ill. The actor has been unwell for almost ten days now with high fever and body ache and it’s reported that he is suffering from malaria.

In spite of having high fever, Hrithik continued with the promotions of Guzaarish all of last week. He shot for a special episode of Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in Mumbai, and then even travelled with co-star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for a promotional tour to Dubai and London. After his return to Mumbai, Hrithik even travelled to Ahmedabad on Saturday to promote his film, but crashed immediately after returning home.

Since then, Duggu has been feeling very weak and been on bed rest for most of the time. In fact Hrithik even cancelled his trip to Kolkata for the promotions, as there was no way he could travel in this condition.

We hope the actor is back to being his fittest very soon and wish him a speedy recovery.

Hrithik Roshan gets foot massage from Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

We have erotic and semi-erotic love-making sequences in films. But ever heard of a funny-erotic sequence? In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish, Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who have done brilliant and aesthetic love scenes in Dhoom 2 and Jodhaa Akbar, had to do the toughest erotic sequence of their individual careers.
Aishwarya had to give Hrithik a languorous foot massage while he had to gradually let out sounds of immense pleasure and ecstasy. At some point during the slow-and-steady sequence Aishwarya to had to let out sounds of pleasure herself.
And if you think there was any awkwardness between Mrs. Bachchan and Mr. Roshan in performing this erotic sequence, then think again. The two co-stars whooped with laughter all through the rehearsals and even during the final take.
Since Hrithik’s character cannot feel a thing below the neck the whole exercise shows the two characters pretending to be in the throes of ecstasy.
Laughs Sanjay Leela Bhansali, “How can my hero who feels everything from neck up and absolutely nothing from neck down make love with his nurse? He can only pretend. Hrithik has no love scene with Aishwarya. The so-called love-making sequence is actually savagely funny take on a very poignant predicament of a man who cannot feel the things that normal people do. Although his limbs are senseless, his nurse gives him a foot massage to keep the blood circulations going. And that’s when the whole mock-ecstasy scene happens. I must say Aishwarya and Hrithik gave a whole new definition to ‘faking it’ in this sequence. Bahut masti wali scene hai. But the underlying tragedy of a man who will never actually experience what he’s pretending to, has also been brought out.”
It isn’t every day that a co-star gets a foot massage from the super-diva Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Apparently, Hrithik was in full prankish mode for the sequence, probably to make sure there was no awkwardness with Aishwarya when they performed the oddball sequence.
Sanjay can’t get over how diligently Hrithik worked over his paraplegic’s body language in Guzaarish. “Hrithik actually allowed his body to go completely numb below his neck. His performance is comparable with Daniel Day-Lewis’ part as a paraplegic in My Two Left Feet…no, in fact better. His character can’t make love. But he make us feel his longing for physical passion.”

Abhishek miffed with Hrithik over ”Agneepath” remake?

MUMBAI: If Karan Johar rejoices in taking the mantle from his late father Yash Johar for remaking ‘Agneepath’, Abhishek Bachchan is wallowing for not being able to succeed his illustrious father’s footsteps of playing Vijay Deenanath Chauhan in the same.

Sources said that ever since Hrithik gave his nod for playing Vijay’s character in ‘Agneepath’, Abhishek is quite upset for losing the coveted role of Vijay Deenanath Chauhan, for which Amitabh Bachchan won a National Award.

Talking to a daily, a source said, “‘Agneepath’ is Abhishek’s favourite film and he has watched it many times. So, when it was announced that Hrithik would play Amitabh Bachchan’s role, everyone thought Abhishek would not take it well.”

“Apparently, during the shooting of ‘Koffee with Karan’, where Abhishek had come with his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karan asked a question during the rapid fire round about how Abhishek would dress if he had to go for a masquerade party.

Incidentally, the same night Hrithik had thrown a party. So, Abhishek said that he would go as Vijay Deenanath Chauhan and give tips to Hrithik about how he should play the role.”

Even as Karan remained unavailable for comments, Fazila Allana, the head of Sol Production, which produces ‘Koffee with Karan’ said, “You will have to watch the episode. I do not want to say anything.”

It seems Abhishek Bachchan is just not happy with Hrithik Roshan.
