No from Filmfare Awards to Hrithik Roshan

No from Filmfare Awards to Hrithik Roshan: Hrithik Roshan and wife Sussanne Roshan were disappointed that the actor’s stellar performance in Guzaarish was ignored at the Filmfare Awards on Saturday night in Mumbai.

The duo walked in together hoping to lap up at least one black lady statuette which has been made a little plumper and heavier this year. But they were disappointed by the Filmfare snub.

The Best Actor (Popular Choice) award went to Shahrukh Khan for his role in My Name Is Khan. And the Critics’ Choice Best Actor statuette was bagged by Rishi Kapoor for his role in the small-budget film Do Dooni Chaar.

To cap it all, the show’s hosts Ranbir Kapoor and enacted a spoof on Guzaarish. Imran dressed up as Hrithik while Ranbir mimicked Imran KhanAishwarya Rai.

Clearly, it wasn’t a night to enjoy for Hrithik. He and wife Sussanne left the award function much early.

Sussanne later expressed her disappointment on Twitter: “Just came back from Filmfare. Sometimes in life we get what we don't deserve...makes it difficult to understand what's the logic in all this.”

Sussanne Khan to kiss Hrithik Roshan's ‘wax statue’

Sussanne Khan to kiss Hrithik Roshan ‘Wax Statue’: Sussanne Khan was so moved after seeing the waxed replica of her husband Hrithik Roshan at Madame Tussaud’s Museum in London that she couldn’t resist kissing the statue.

Hrithik himself was moist-eyed after seeing the statue. He said it was a memorable moment for him because his entire family - papa Rakesh Roshan, mom Pinky Roshan, wife Sussanne, two kids and even his grand pa J Om Prakash - was there to share it with him.

“I am thrilled that my entire family is with me sharing this wonderful moment. More than the wax figure it's a matter of emotions and pride that my family is there to see all this today. It is made up of what I have received from my parents, grandparents, sister and wife. They have made me what I am. I dedicate this to my family,” Hrithik said at the unveiling.

Meanwhile, check out more stills from the unveiling and the making of the statue here.

Agneepath Remake: Hrithik-Priyanka to play most intense passion!

Agneepath Remake: Hrithik-Priyanka to play most intense passion!: Karan Johar promises passion play like never before between Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra in his upcoming remake of Agneepath, which he will produce.

The movie will have Hrithik reprising the role of the angry man immortalized by Amitabh Bachchan in the original film by Mukul Anand. Priyanka, however, will not play a nurse, Big B’s love interest in the original played by Madhavi. There have been rumours that Priyanka’s character has been changed from a nurse to a prostitute, but Karan Johar denies it.

What he confirms emphatically is that there’s going to be a smouldering chemistry between Hrithik and Priyanka in the film.

“The new 'Agneepath' is first and foremost an intense love story. There was love between Priyanka and Hrithik in 'Krissh'. But here we want an unparalleled intensity between them. You've never seen Priyanka and Hrithik get so intense with anyone before,” Karan Johar is quoted as saying by a news agency.

The original film, made in 1990, was produced by Karan’s dad Yash Johar.

Tit for Tat from Hrithik Roshan to Salman Khan

Tit  for Tat from Hrithik Roshan to Salman Khan: Now, this squabble keeps rolling up again and again. After making peace with Salman Khan recently, Hrithik Roshan has taken a fresh potshot at the superstar.

It all started with Salman’s allegedly derogatory comment on Hrithik’s film Guzaarish (Sallu apparently mocked that not even a machchar went to see the film), with Hrithik riposting that success should make a star (Salman, in this case) humble rather than cocky, a comment that clearly did not go down well with Salman.

The two hugged and patched up at Sohail Khan’s birthday bash but Salman later called Hrithik - quite condescendingly at that - “a child”.

In response Hrithik laughed off Sallu’s barb but is now reportedly to have sniped at him while appearing on Koffee With Karan.

Talking about Salman, Hrithik is reported to have told Karan: “Salman thinks that the world is conspiring against him, but that's not true. We all love him... I don't want to use this as a medium to comment on Salman.”

Also, it’s no secret that Hrithik has been bonding big time with Shahrukh Khan, whom Sallu regards as a foe despite the former sending feelers of reconciliation.

Hrithik Roshan again pairs up with Shahrukh Khan

Hrithik Roshan again pairs up with Shahrukh Khan: Hrithik Roshan's ten year old wish has finally been realised.

The actor has waited for this moment for a decade. His patience has finally paid off.

The grin on Hrithik's face gives away the excitement that he is experiencing these days.

It is worth to mention that Hrithik shares a special bond with fellow actor Shahrukh Khan. The two had worked together in Karan Johar's film KABHI KHUSHI KABHIE GHAM almost a decade back. Since then, Hrithik had been looking forward to share screen space with SRK again. Though, some projects came up such ideas, but nothing ever materialised.

But, with DON 2, Hrithik has realised his wish. The actor has finally got a chance to pair up with SRK once again. The shooting of DON 2 - THE CHASE CONTINUES is on at the moment and Hrithik is finding it hard to conceal his excitement which is so infectious to be missed.

Sharing Hrithik's excitement in no lesser way, let's hope DON 2 is a better outing than his last date with SRK a decade ago.

Most Desirable Stars of 2010: Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif

Most Desirable Stars of 2010: Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif: Do you desire the 'Greek God' look of Hrithik Roshan and the zing that Katrina Kaif brought in with “Sheila Ki Jawani”, at least India does. In the online voting carried out by the National Daily ‘Times of India’ and the channel ‘Zoom’ over 3.1 lakh votes were registered and India has decided to confer the tile of Most Desirable Man of 2010 to Hrithik Roshan and Most Desirable Woman of 2010 to Katrina Kaif.

The poll showcased top 50 Men and Women in their respective categories and Katrina Kaif seemed pretty comfortable staying at the numero uno slot for the consecutive second year. The beautiful Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had to be satisfied with the number two in the list and following her in number 3 is Priyanka Chopra.

Sexy Deepika Padukone is at number 4 while the actress who brought in the size zero fad Kareena Kapoor is at 5. The chirpy Genelia D’Souza edges past the fashionista Sonam Kapoor as the latter stands at number 7 and D’Souza at 6. Rounding up the top ten of the list of the Women’s category are Bipasha Basu (8) Kangna Ranut (9) and Nicole Faria Miss Earth (10).

On the other hand, in the Men’s category of ‘Desirability List’, last year’s winner Ranbir Kapoor slipped to number 3 and Salman Khan claims the number 2 and Hrithik the number 1. Even 2008 winner John Abraham had to satisfy himself at 5 while Shahid gets a slot above him at 4 with his Kaminey bare act. Shahrukh Khan is at 6 while Akshay Kumar and Arjun Rampal are at number 7 and 8 respectively. Imran Khan and Saif Ali Khan wraps up the top 10 with 9 and 10 positions in the order.

But the top 50 list of ‘Most Desirable’ was quite a stunning one with full of surprises.

Kangana Ranaut reject offer for Hrithik’s ‘Krissh’ sequell

Kangana Ranaut reject offer for Hrithik’s ‘Krissh’ sequel: When Hrithik Roshan and papa Rakesh Roshan approached Kangana Ranaut for Krissh sequel, the actress politely turned down the offer. Why?

The buzz is that Kangana was the first choice for second lead opposite Hrithik, who will again don the superhero garb for the sequel to the hit Krissh. The Roshans apparently asked Kangana for a role that is on the lines of catwoman. Yes, a super-heroine! Though the offer looked lucrative, Kangs has vowed not to play the second fiddle anymore. Krissh has Priyanka Chopra as the main actress.

Reports also have it that the Roshans tried to woo the actress by telling her that the role requires a lot of action and that it’s written keeping her in mind, but Kangs remained unperturbed. She has played second lead in some of her recent flicks and hasn’t benefited at all. Kangana was even kept out of the promotions for Kites while the whole attention was on Barbara Mori.

Thus, no catwoman stint for Kangana!

Hrithik Roshan celebrates 36 birthday today

Hrithik Roshan celebrates 36 birthday today: The year could not have got off to a more rollicking start for Hrithik Roshan. He celebrates his 36th birthday today.

And, yesterday he was crowned The Times' Most Desirable Man of 2010 in an online poll on www.itimes.com driven by zoOm that saw the actor fighting off a stiff challenge from Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor among other macho and, well, desirable Bollywood heroes. I called up Hrithik at night to congratulate him. He was busy putting his kids, Hrehaan and Hridhaan, to bed!

"I do this whenever I am in town because they wait up for me," explained the Most Desirable Man in a hushed voice. He was delighted with the honour, naturally. "It feels great, because last year two of my films didn't do well, to know that I'm still wanted... it's a good feeling," Hrithik admitted. He has his own interpretation of what 'Desirable' means. "I believe I am a reflection of the potential in all of us," he said, "and if you can recognise that in me, then it is upto each one of you to work hard and in a committed and consistent manner to be what you want to be. I am just a symbol, an artist in the business of selling dreams, the manifestation of one who has travelled the mile to achieve what he desires."

This, from an actor who delivered two turkeys at the box-office in 2010. "I have my own theories about Kites and Guzaarish," he said defensively. "I am not disappointed, it was a milestone year, I am filled with a sense of deep gratitude. I took two of the biggest risks. I went where the brave dare not go. With Kites, I tried to cross the language barrier, and I have learned a lesson; but with Guzaarish, I attempted what no star would do, and it was a gratifying experience. I am used to audiences throwing coins, dancing, for my films. Here, at the end they stood up in silence and clapped.

I got teary-eyed hugs in silence from strangers that said beautiful things. I have never had this experience in my 10 years of cinema. I would be ashamed to complain that the film didn't do well. Sometimes art has to exist without profit and loss. I agree, there has to be certain economics to filmmaking, and there's no reason to take this experience and treat it as a failure; because Guzaarish added to people's lives, it changed my life, I have never felt so deeply about any of my previous works. I try to imbibe the positive qualities from all the characters I play. But from Ethan (his character in Guzaarish), I've realised what life is all about. That pain has such a beautiful meaning, that our shortcomings and misery are the wind beneath our wings, they help us to carry on till we get flight."

That Hrithik Roshan is now flying, I have no doubt. He has put 2010 behind him, and this year he has two exciting films to look forward to - Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Karan Johar's remake of Agneepath, both of which have roles he's never done before. "That's how I enjoy my work, I am an extremist, I hate monotony," Hrithik said. In Zindagi..., he plays the guy next door, there's no emotional confrontation, no fight in his life. And life itself is a beautiful journey in Spain with three people discovering themselves. But Agneepath is the other end of the spectrum. "Grit, revenge, emotional turmoil, it's all there," he said with feeling.

But this is also Amitabh Bachchan's 1990 National Award-winning role as Vijay Dinanath Chauhan for Yash Johar in the original film. Big shoes for Hrithik to fill. "It would be stupid, preposterous, for me to suggest that I want to immitate him," Hrithik said. "His was one of the best performances in the history of cinema, and the film is one of my favourites, so I am going to give it my best shot. But our characters in the films are as different as our personalities are. And no way am I going to give anybody reason for comparison. When I signed Jodhaa Akbar, people said I had signed my death sentence, because Akbar was moulded in Prithviraj Kapoor's personality. Even well-wishers cautioned me against taking up the challenge. Eventually, when the film was released, nobody even compared the performance; because Prithviraj was magnificent as Akbar, but Ashutosh Gowarikar's Akbar was endearing and enjoyable as well. Ultimately, you have to trust your director."

He wakes up to a new year, today. In which, he told me at night, he wishes to be "from sunrise to sunset" as healthy, energetic and flexible as he can so that he may "jump on the bed and play with the kids". Which is a strange request from the man rated yesterday by The Times 50 Most Desirable People of 2010 poll as being blessed with "dropdead gorgeous looks and a Greek God body". For which he worksout religiously first thing in the morning and last thing at night. "Why waste the day," Hrithik asked, "I start with cardio, I do some Yoga, stretches that keep my knees and back on track, and at night I do weights. In the middle, I burn calories through my grey cells!" But the wear and tear of being the Most Desirable Man has also taken its toll on Hrithik Roshan. "I don't have the knees I was born with," he laughed, "and it requires about 30 minutes of maintenance daily for me to, well, take this in my stride. But I do it naturally now... it's like brushing my teeth."

King SRK to work with Hrithik Roshan in Krrish 2?

King SRK to work with Hrithik Roshan in Krrish 2?: Shahrukh Khan seems to be in love with action genre. After his home production Ra.One and his upcoming release Don 2, the actor will reportedly be seen in the sequel to the 2006 superhit film Krrish. According to reports circulating in the media, Shahrukh is joining the star cast of Krrish 2 as one of the film’s negative characters.

Though nothing has been confirmed on an official basis, with director Rakesh Roshan refusing to comment, a source has revealed that SRK has given the nod to do the film under the condition that the Hrithik Roshan starrer releases after his own superhero flick Ra.One.

Media speculations say that it is the new-found friendship between the actors that has culminated into their association in Krrish 2. While Shahrukh and Hrithik Roshan had been termed as rivals during the start of the latter’s career in Bollywood, all the rivalry is a thing of the past. Gauri Khan and Sussanne Roshan, the wives of the stars, are very close friends and it is they who keep their husbands bound to one another.

Shahrukh has been heard praising the acting skills of Hrithik Roshan especially after his performance in Guzaarish. Hrithik Roshan too makes it a point to seek the advice of his senior on professional matters. Also, both families are regularly spotted at each other’s parties.

While reports claim that SRK is already a part of Krrish 2, Rakesh Roshan has said that he has not started casting for the film, as it is still in the scripting stage. Rakesh doesn't want to comment on Shahrukh Khan’s involvement in the future project.

Guess we will have to wait and watch.

Hrithik Roshan Can make SRK chuck his Original Sin?

Hrithik Roshan Can  make SRK chuck his Original Sin?: Shahrukh Khan is renowned for his addiction with cigarette and even though the King Khan knows the dangers of puffing the smoke, he hasn’t been able to throw it off. In fact, he is pretty much reputed for his chain smoking habits.

But Duggu aka Hrithik Roshan has a Guzaarish for SRK. Reportedly, Hrithik is all set to ensure that SRK dumps his stick and leads the life of a non-smoker.

Hrithik, himself, had got addicted to cigarettes while filming for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Guzaarish’ that wanted him to inhale the nicotine.

But he had vowed to throw his habit off after the release of the film and true to his oath he has rid himself of the sin. Now, if anyone offers him a cigarette, he not only throws it off but crushes it mercilessly before trashing it.

Hrithik is now leading a healthy life and inhaling the fresh air. And it is thanks to his disgust for the stick that he has even made actor Arjun Rampal get rid of the habit as well.

Arjun has now asked Hrithik to make SRK quit smoking- a task that is deemed next to impossible and daring Roshan junior has taken up the challenge. It is to be seen if Dhoom 2 actor can conjure up some magic and make the Badshah get rid of his original sin.

Hrithik Roshan again with Priyanka Chopra for ‘Krrish 3’

Hrithik Roshan again with Priyanka Chopra for ‘Krrish 3’: All that buzz about Krrish 3 was right, the film will roll early following year and Priyanka Chopra could be perceived inverse Hrithik Roshan yet again.

Though there were rumours that the performer is not being regarded for the sequel, reports are on that Priyanka is finished for the picture. She will carry on her element of a correspondent as the film will take forward the story where Krrish left. Roshans were toying with the thought of Krrish sequel for the final four years but no single thing solid happened. Now, as they have moved on from the disaster of Kites, making Krrish 3 is prime on their ideas.

Coming to Priyanka, the actress has some big films lined up for next year: she has Saat Khoon Maaf with seven male co-stars, Don 2 with Shahrukh Khan, and also Anurag Basu’s romantic thriller Barfee (earlier titled Silence) with Ranbir Kapoor.

Now with Krrish 3, her kitty has only swelled.

Sean Penn and Hrithik Roshan walk on the red carpet!

Sean Penn and Hrithik Roshan walk on the red carpet!: Whether his films are hit or flop, Hrithik Roshan has earned his stripes as a good actor. The Guzaarish star will attend the International Dubai Film Festival and will walk the red carpet with Hollywood actor Sean Penn.

Hrithik is going to start the New Year with a bang; though he is neck-deep into work, shooting for Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, he will ask director Zoya Akhtar for some days off. The actor is expected to walk the red carpet on January 12, 2011, with two-times Academy Award winner, Sean Penn.

Naturally Hrithik is excited about this huge opportunity to share red carpet with a legendary actor like Sean Penn. Confirming the news that he is going to be part of festival, Hrithik is quoted as saying, “Yes, it is true. I am currently trying to work out my scheduled so I can attend this festival.”

Hollywood actor Sean Penn will be at the seventh International Dubai Film Festival to collect his lifetime achievement award. The actor has spent almost three decades working in films like “Dead Man Walking”, “Sweet and Lowdown”, “I Am Sam”, “Mystic River”, “Milk” and older genre classics “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” and “Carlito’s Way”.

Hrithik Roshan gives a few sensible words for Salman Khan

Hrithik Roshan gives a few sensible words for Salman Khan: Salman Khan recently stirred a storm in a teacup by his acerbic comments on director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his film Guzaarish.

Bhansali is a hurt man nowadays. At an award function recently Salman, his good friend, had made insulting remarks about the film-maker and his latest creation Guzaarish. Salman had called Bhansali an opportunist who makes film on disabled people to make money but doesn’t donate a dime for charity. He had even mocked Guzaarish and said that not even a macchhar (mosquito) went to see the film, while at the same time Sallu alluded to the super success of his own film Dabangg.

While Bhansali has chosen silence over retaliation, Hrithik Roshan, the lead star of Guzaarish, has jumped in for Bhansali’s defence. Despite Salman being many years senior, Hrithik has a few sensible words of advice for Khan.

“In my opinion a hero never gloats. When you are super successful...this is the time one should use to turn even enemies into friends...just give love, not laugh at others. By the time I finish this sentence, I have already forgiven his (Salman’s) words,” Hrithik is quoted as saying by a tabloid.

Hrithik’s response is without rancour. Hope Salman would reply in the same vein.

Hrithik Roshan is looking forward to meet Barbara Mori

Hrithik Roshan is looking forward to meet Barbara Mori: Their much hyped film Kites may have gone down the plughole, but Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori have continued to remain in touch.

Not surprising then that Hrithik is looking forward to meet Barbara when he goes to the US with his family at the end of this month to ring in 2011. Yes, you read it right. Wife Sussanne and two kids will be with Hrithik for what would be a family holiday in Las Vegas.

And since Sussanne and Barbara are thick as thieves, they are most likely to be together for the biggest party of the year. Sussanne has in the past laughed off the rumours linking Hrithik with Barbara, and her friendship with the Mexican hottie has remained intact.

Hrithik too says he’s become indifferent to the rumours. So even as he admits that he might meet Barbara in Las Vegas, he’s unconcerned about the media raking up the rumours again.

When Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan met?

When Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan met?: Hrithik Roshan the dancing sensation of Bollywood has a distinct attraction for his senior Shahrukh Khan. It seems as if the two were really meant to be brothers as was depicted in the KJO flick ‘Khabhi Khusi Kabhi Gham’ a few years ago.

Recently when Shahrukh Khan wanted to see the Sanjay Leela Bhansali flick ‘Guzaarish’ at his place Mannat in Mumbai, he had got arrangements to see it with his family and friends. Hrithik Roshan who was quite unwell had stayed back home to relax even as his wife Sussanne went for the special screening at SRK’s place. Sussanne and Gauri, Hrithik’s and Shahrukh’s wives respectively are the best of friends and they always spend a lot of time whenever time permits.

But just after the film had started, there was a phone call from the big brother Shahrukh Khan to Hrithik Roshan, saying that he was very impressed with the latter’s work in the movie. SRK immediately asked Hrithik to be at his place so that they could have a one on one chat about the great role that Hrithik had portrayed as a paraplegic.

Now, as is well known, Hrithik just cannot say no to SRK. So out he popped from bed and rushed to Mannat forgetting all about his fever and stuff.

Well, reportedly the two discussed everything about portraying characters with chronic diseases on screen and since SRK had also portrayed the role of a mentally affected patient in KJO’S flick My Name Is Khan, he perfectly understood Hrithik’s character of Ethan in Guzaarish who was a paraplegic.

Well, what do we call it? Mutual understanding of one bro for another?

Hrithik Roshan as Hamlet and Aishwarya Rai as Ophelia for their next?

Hrithik Roshan as Hamlet and Aishwarya Rai as Ophelia for their next?: It’s a long-cherished desire of Vishal Bhardwaj to make a film with Aishwarya Rai.

But things couldn’t work out between the two in the past, and now after the release of Guzaarish, the director has once again started nurturing the thought to work with the actress; Paired with Aishwarya will be none other than Hrithik Roshan. Vishal, Ash and Hrithik indeed will make for a terrific combination. But what’s the script about?

As per sources, after adapting two Shakespeare dramas, Vishal wants to complete his trilogy with the Bollywood version of Hamlet. He apparently wants Hrithik to play the character of Prince Hamlet Of Denmark, and Aishwarya his ladylove Ophelia.

Vishal’s previous Shakespeare adaptations Maqbool and Omkara received rave reviews and are considered to be his best work. Always known to work with talented actors and actresses, the director has approached both the stars with the Hamlet idea. Will they give their nod?

Hrithik Roshan now recuperated and discharged from hospital

Hrithik Roshan now recuperated and discharged from hospital: Hrithik Roshan was admitted to a Mumbai hospital on Sunday after an allergic reaction. The star has now recuperated and has been discharged.

The 36-year-old star had a serious health scare on Sunday when suddenly after taking an antibiotic his lungs choked, throat went into a spasm, lips swelled to seven times their natural size and rashes appeared on the skin.

Taking no chances, the actor rushed to Kokilaben hospital in Mumbai where he was immediately put under medical observation.

On Sunday, just before noon, the doctors allowed Hrithik to go home, with the instruction to not stress himself for a few days.

Hrithik’s wife Sussanne is finally heaving a sigh of relief.

“By the grace of god my Hrithik is much much better... Most random one in a million allergic reaction!,” she wrote on her Twitter page.

After Hrithik, Shahrukh Khan will become a next superhero?

After Hrithik, Shahrukh Khan will become a next superhero?: The Bollywood Hunk Hrithik Roshan is one of industry’s finest talent and has great versatility to augur well with his hunky and Grecian body. In fact, Hrithik was the one who gave Bollywood its first major super hero in the form of ‘Krishh’.

Though, in the past, films like ‘Ajooba’ and ‘Mr. India’ have shown veterans Amitabh Bachchan and Anil Kapoor in the light of a superhero, they couldn’t capitalize on it due to the absence of any continuing franchisee.

Hrithik was, therefore, regarded as Bollywood’s first big superhero with extra special talents. However, now all that may change as the King Khan SRK is getting ready to flex his muscles and show his super heroic skills.

Shahrukh Khan’s next film ‘Ra. One’ has been in the news for quite some time. It is special coz not only shall it end the SRK-free dry spell at box office but also mark the Badshah’s foray into this genre.

And we all know that SRK gives it his best everytime he takes up something with intense zeal. ‘Ra. One’ has some association with videogame and SRK’s character shall have the power to solidity electricity which is intriguing.

Though not much is known about the exact nature of his character, SRK may well be the next big superhero. But will he surpass Hrithik’s Krishh? We shall soon know….
