Hrithik Roshan in Telugu block-buster “Magadheera” remake?

Hrithik Roshan is in mood to repeat what Salman Khan has been doing. The latter who tasted success with Telugu remake “Pokiri” as “Wanted” in Bollywoood is right now doing two southern films as remakes with one being from Telugu. Now, it seems it is the turn of hunk, Hrithik Roshan.

Yes, if reports are to be believed then Hrithik Roshan would be playing the lead role in the remake of Telugu Mega hit Magadheera which catapulted Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan Teja into the big league of Andhra box-office. Magadheera is the highest grosser of Telugu film industry as of now crossing forty crores of mark with in few weeks of its release.
Producer of Magadheera, Allu Aravind is in talks with the Guzaarish star to reprieve the role of Ram Charan Teja. Aravind’s last venture in Bollywood was Ghajini. The producer is keen on repeating the success of Ghajini with Roshan Jr this time.
An official conformation is yet to be announced about the actor’s participation or not in the film. But one thing’s for sure, if Hrithik accepts Magadheera it would eventually give the star the much needed blockbuster that he needs after Kites and Guzaarish.

Hrithik Roshan and Valentine's Day

This Valentine's Day, like every year, is going to be very special for Hrithik Roshan. The superstar is going out for family and children and most importantly he is looking to surprise Sussanne. "I really put in an effort when I buy gifts. I believe in giving my wife meaningful things that can bring a smile on her face. Which woman doesn't like receiving gifts from her man? Not just Sussanne, even if I'm gifting something to anyone be it my parents, children or close friends, I make sure the gift is special," Hrithik said.


Ask him to reveal his best moment of romance and he shoots, "It is definitely the day I said the three big words to Sussanne. It took her by surprise. I don't really have great memories of Valentine's Day as I was a shy kid and never really got the courage to walk up to the girl I liked and talk to her, forget asking her out." Now, this really surprises us as Hrithik has been making girls go weak in their knees for the longest time. "I became confident as I grew up. But it surely feels great getting all the attention. It is a huge compliment. I don't think today being married changes anything. Marriage makes people sexier," he says.
For Hrithik, love is like oxygen that he can never do without. "I'm an incurable romantic. I love the concept of being in love with one person throughout my life and I'm blessed to have Sussanne and on Valentine's Day, I renew my vows of being with her, loving her and her bouncing board all my life. I believe that little things make the biggest difference to a relationship. I'm a very passionate person. For me, Valentine's Day is more than just the conventional man-woman relationship. It's about love for family, for children and for people around me. I thank my fans for the love they have been showering on me and I promise to give back as much as I can."

Professionalism of Hrithik Roshan

Hrithk Roshan went on a stretch of 17 hours to shoot a promo for his upcoming foray into small screen, a dance based reality show titled “So you think you can dance”. The actor went on to shoot for it even though he had a muscle tear.

Now adding another feather to his Professionalism, the Guzaarish star was seen on the first day of shoot of yesteryear’s remake of Amitabh Bachchan starrer “Agneepath” provided he was not necessary for the shoot on the concerned day. Entire unit on the location was dazzled to see the star’s presence wondering whether he had any scenes to shoot but eventually came to know that he came to see how thing’s are panning out.
Sources revealed that Roshan Jr was seen showing keen interest on what’s happening in the location. Agneepath star’s Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra and Rishi Kapoor in the lead and is produced by Dharma Productions. Certainly Roshan Jr surprises everybody, one or the other day with his professionalism. Any body listening?

"So You Think You Can Dance" will be aired in June ??


Ganesh Hegde has been signed on to judge Star Plus’s dance reality show Just Dance along with Hrithik Roshan, sources said. Prabhudeva and Jaaved Jafferi have been approached to be the third judge. 

The show is said to be on the lines of So You Think You Can Dance though it has been tweaked a bit. Participants will be culled from across the world with auditions in New York and London. 

However, unlike So You...which has a pair competing for the prize money, Just Dance will have solo contestants competing with the ‘’God of dance”. 

Hrithik will dance with each of the finalists. The superstar recently shot for the show’s promo and music video. Auditions will start from February 16 and the show will, in all probability, be aired in June.

2 Crores per episode for Hrithik


If industry sources are to be believed, Hrithik Roshan will soon be the highest paid television host of India, as the actor will be paid close to Rs 2 Crores for each episode of an upcoming dance reality show titled ‘Just Dance’.
The show which will feature dancers from all over the country, is expected to run for more than 50 episodes and will make the actor richer by 100 to 110 crores!
Just Dance is likely to be aired on Start Plus sometime in May – June and the promos are expected to hit screens in the next few weeks.

Hrithik shoots for 17 hours with injury

Hrithik Roshan, whose Agneepath remake produced by Karan Johar went on floors last night, has been literally burning the midnight oil for his upcoming dance reality show, Just Dance, on Star Plus. The actor, despite having a muscle tear in his chest area, shot for 17 hours continuously to complete the promos for his debut as judge on the TV show which was earlier called Dance Olympic.


Roshan reported for shooting on Monday at 9 am, and wrapped at 2 am on Tuesday morning at a studio located in Malad. His schedule included rehearsals and the actual promo shoot. The actor, despite experiencing pain, continued to shoot. After a point, he consumed painkillers, and was also given a shot in his arm so that his pain was temporarily taken care of.
A close associate of the actor confirms the events, saying, “He was extremely co-operative. He didn’t want the teams from SOL Productions, the company producing the show, and Star Plus to reschedule the shoot because it would have meant a lot of monetary and other damages. He took his medicines, and completed everything he was supposed to.” 
A source from the production house adds, “Hrithik was extremely professional. He didn’t let us cancel the shoot though we offered to do that because we were really concerned about his health. Since he understands the nuances of production, he decided to continue.”
The promo of Just Dance is expected to break in a few days. The show is likely to start around mid-2011 and will feature dancers from various countries. Reportedly, the channel and the production house approached Roshan Jr in the last quarter of 2010, just ahead of his year-end release, Guzaarish.  The actor, acknowledged in the movies for his dance skills has apparently offered a fee of Rs 2 crore an episode.
If industry speculation is anything to go by, the show, which is expected to run into 56 episodes, will fetch Roshan anything between
Rs 90 and 112 crore, turning him into one of the highest paid Bollywood exports on TV. Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar, who were paid approximately between Rs 1.5 and Rs 1.75 crore for their shows, would rank second and third then.

Hrithik Roshan disappointed by Filmfare Awards snub

Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan is so confident about his performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s GUZAARISH, that he just wouldn’t take any kind of defeat related to it. He thinks that GUZAARISH is his finest act till date, and he is even ready to give up on his gentleman stand for it.
Recently, at the Filmfare Awards function, when Hrithik came to know that he won’t win the award for the ‘Best Actor’, he just stormed off the venue. The whole Roshan parivaar walked off from the function as they realized that the awards will be presented to Rishi Kapoor for DO DOONI CHAAR and Shahrukh Khan for MY NAME IS KHAN. Hrithik was disappointed that he didn’t win the award in either category, critics or popular.

Though Hrithik stayed mum about the issue, Suzanne tweeted, “Just came back from Filmfare. Sometimes in life we get what we don’t deserve.. makes it diff (difficult) to understand what’s the logic in all this.”

Well, we too think that Hrithik deserved the award, but Hrithik could've taken the whole saga sportingly!

Sussanne steals hubby’s thunder


She peps up the show with her feisty spirit and frank responses. It’s wonderful to see the otherwise demure Sussanne Roshan not just hold her own but overshadow her star husband Hrithik Roshan on Karan Johar’s show. The first 10 minutes almost put you to sleep as Karan grilled Hrithik on the reason behind Guzarish’s failure. Had he asked him directly, maybe it wouldn’t have been as agonizing but Karan being Karan had to go about in a round about manner and talk about good cinema versus commercial cinema and Hrithik had to talk about how much love he received for his performance, so the failure didn’t matter. But this kind of sychophancy only happens with the big stars. A small time actor, would not make it to KJo’s show nor would the filmi fraternity be as kind to him. Hrithik himself looked like he was about to fall asleep till his charming wife entered the picture and pepped up the show. Full brownie points to her cos’ her humour ensured that Hrithik woke up from his slumber and made some effort to sound interesting. Of course, his wife very sweetly put him in his place by admitting that he had women hitting on him all the time and if she had turned into Hrithik Roshan for a day, she would have had a blast having a scene with all the gorgeous women. Wow, that was a really honest confession which stumped Hrithik and made him sound foolish with his politically correct responses.
Sussanne steals hubby’s thunder
But you can’t expect too much honesty in this chat show as everything is glossed over and it’s a happy world. So, while Kareena and Barbara are brought up in the rapid fire round, there is no reference to Hrithik’s alleged affairs with the ladies that almost broke up his marriage. On Koffee with Karan, everything is hunky dory, though Sussanne did admit that while she loves Kareena, she would go back to sleep if she was transformed into her one morning. And yes, she gave her hubby ‘the’ look when he mentioned that Barbara was his hottest co-star. And Hrithik looked taken aback when Sussanne admitted that she would plant a kiss on SRK’s lips if she had turned into Gauri Khan. But on seeing her hubby’s flustered look she quickly added that she would only be able to do that as Gauri Khan. Smart girl we say.
Yes, the couple admitted to fighting over ‘silly’ things and that Sussanne broke into ‘laughter’ during a fight, which even the diplomatic Karan found ‘very strange’. But we are not surprised, after all this couple has always been good at projecting the right image outside their home and are certainly not going to wash their dirty linen in public.

Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra: Setting the bed on fire


After Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Amitabh Bachchan, actor Hrithik Roshan recently became the next star from Bollywood to get his own wax statue in the famous Madame Tussaud’s museum in London.

And while wife Suzzane Khan showered kisses on her hubby’s waxy model, the actor is heating up the bed with the hottie Priyanka Chopra. Hrithik is currently filming for Karan Johar’s remake of ‘Agneepath’ in which he gets into the skin of the popular Vijay Deenanath Chauhan that was so adeptly played by Amitabh Bachchan in the original.

And actress Priyanka Chopra will be seen playing Hrithik’s love interest. In the original ‘Agneepath’ it was actress Madhavi who played a nurse and romanced Amitabh Bachchan. In the remake Priyanka won’t be the nurse since Karan Johar felt that would be a total waste of her sexuality. There is a buzz that she may play a sex worker but Karan denies that report. 

But he does confirm that the chemistry between Hrithik and Priyanka is red hot and they have some intimate scenes that Karan has labelled as ‘adult’ ones. Though, we have seen Hrithik and Piggy Chops romancing on-screen in ‘Krrish’, there was no physical intimacy in that superhero film since it was catering to the younger audience (children). 

But in ‘Agneepath’, Karan is trying hard to put forth a fiery and intensely passionate love moments between the actors. We would have to wait a bit to see if Hrithik-Priyanka chemistry is as good as Hrithik-Aishwarya……..

Hrithik-Katrina's Bollywood longest Lip-lock

Bollywood’s sexy actress Katrina Kaif is set to make debut on-screen kiss with Hrithik Roshan in Zoya Akthar’s film.

Director Zoya Akthar has shot a lip-locking scene on the duo, which lasts for two-minutes in her upcoming flick Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara. It is believed to be the longest lip-lock on-screen so far in the B-town. Zoya Akthar said that the scene of kissing has been filmed awesomely and it demands for the sequence. It is her second directorial after Luck By Chance, also stars her brother Faran Akthar in the movie. But the director is not ready to reveal the details of the movie.


Sources close to sets says that Kat showed no interest and was hesitant for the shot, but somehow Zoya managed her and after the shot Kat felt comfortable.

The story of the kissing goes like this “When Hrithik bids an adieu to the Kat looking in her eyes without any words, then Kat realizes how much she loves and runs off and shows her affection in form of kiss. The scene continues for two- long minutes.

It is the first longest Lip-lock after Raja Hindustani, which was shot on Aamir khan and Karishma Kapoor.

So, let’s watch it on the Silver Screen and hope the upcoming trends in B-Town shatters the records of this.

Hrithik Roshan donates for treatment of CHD children

Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan today made a donation for the treatment of 10 children suffering from congenital heart defect (CHD) . The actor, who launched Seven Hills Hospital's 'Save a Heart' programme for children with CHD in the western suburb of Andheri, said he was overwhelmed, proud and happy to be part of the initiative.

''I pledge my support in whatever form that may be required. We must remember we are saving a child and securing our future,'' Roshan said.
The actor also danced and interacted with child patients to the delight of the audience.
A congenital heart disorder is a defect in the structure of the heart and great vessels which is present at birth. In India, there are an estimated 180,000 children born with CHD every year, with 60,000 - 90,000 suffering from critical CHD requiring early treatment. 10 percent of the country's infant mortality can be accounted by CHD alone.

Hrithik requests for distance

Hrithik Roshan may have joined the Madame Tussaud’s league of Bollywood A-listers, but the superstar still doesn’t see himself as part of the big league. Or so it seems. 

Hrithik has apparently made a rather unusual request to the museum authorities. “I am elated with the honour of being the latest addition to the museum. But I have asked the authorities to place my statue away from those of the other Bollywood stars. They are unmatchable and great stars in their own right. I’ve requested that my statue be placed in some other section of the museum.” Now, given the strange nature of his request, it’s hard to tell whether it’s humility or rivalry that prompted his gesture.

Sussanne opens up on Hrithik's link-ups

The usually reticent and shy Sussanne Roshan opened up on her hubby Hrithik Roshan his link-ups and their relationship on Karan Johar's chat show, Koffee With Karan.

She spoke about Hrithik's co-stars Kareena Kapoor and Barbara Mori (both of who were reported to have shared a 'special' relationship with the actor) and even told Karan that she finds Siddharth Mallya, the son of United Breweries' owner Vijay Mallya, the hottest male today.


Says a source close to Karan, "No one expected Sussanne to be so candid about Hrithik's reported link-ups. When Karan asked her about the female star Hrithik shared the best chemistry with, prompt came her reply Barbara Mori and Kareena Kapoor. Even Karan was shocked to see her being so frank about the women Hrithik was allegedly linked up with.”

While there were rumours of Kareena and him sharing a special friendship before his marriage (during the time of Yaadein filming), Hrithik and Barbara had been linked when they were shooting for his film, Kites.

Sharing his thoughts on love, Hrithik said, "Love is about bringing out the other person's individuality. What has gone wrong with the love today is that people have started to possess. If I love her (Sussanne), I should let her do what makes her smile and not impose my opinions."

With Karan, Hrithik and Sussanne spoke about their marriage, the camaraderie they share, how they make up and a lot more. Sussanne even talked about how both of them make up after fights. "Hrithik and I always make up in the funniest way. First we fight, and then a moment later we crack up on either something silly that one of us would have said. If not that, I start laughing at how Hrithik's expression is, when he is angry."

Karan gets all secrets out--Hrithik Roshan

Karan Johar's celebrity chat show, 'Koffee With Karan' on Star World has been making headlines either due to the bold confessions by the celebs or their controversial remarks about co-actors.


Recently, it was Hrithik Roshan and his gorgeous wife, Sussanne Roshan, who shared a sip of “Koffee” on the show with KJo.
Acknowledging the fun on the show, the 'Guzaarish' star told The Times Of India, “All other television show hosts do the usual best in entertaining, but Karan (or Pappu as I call him) gets all the secrets out! Now that's a talent.”
In turn, Karan said, “I should be offended that Koffee gets me more mention than my films.
"But honestly I'm not miffed. I just love the show; I'm happy that people do leak their most well-kept secrets out on my couch.”


KJo on a 'Koffee' date with Hrithik and Sussanne
Reportedly, the recent conversation with Hrithik and Sussanne turned out to be entertaining and stunning as Sussanne, quite frankly told about their personal life, her husband's link-ups and career.
Interestingly, during the conversation, Sussanne, who looked glamorous in a short outfit designed by Nandita Mahtani, called Siddharth Mallya as the hottest man alive.
And if this wasn't enough, when KJo asked her, what would she do if she wakes up as Gauri Khan, Sussanne, a big fan of SRK, said, “She would like to kiss SRK on his lips.”
Listening to Sussanne's bold and naughty comments, Karan was left speechless.
Sussanne talks about Hrithik's on-screen chemistry
When talked about Hrithik's best on-screen chemistry, Sussanne immediately replied, Barbara Mori and Kareena Kapoor.
Apparently, Hrithik, before his marriage with Sussanne, was linked up with Kareena Kapoor, and post-marriage, with Barbara Mori, during the shooting of 'Kites'.
But listening to Sussanne's immediate reply, Karan was shocked.


Sussanne talks about fights
Revealing about their fights, Sussanne said, “Hrithik and I always make up in the funniest way.
“First we fight, and then a moment later we crack up on either something silly that one of us would have said. If not that, I start laughing at how Hrithik's expression is, when he is angry.”
Adding more fun in the conversation, surprisingly, Sussanne candidly spoke about Hrithik's hotness on the show, and said that he looks hot, sans his clothes.

Now I have two of you! Suzanne tells Hrithik

His wife, Sussanne, gave the waxen Hrithik Roshan a kiss and said, “Now I have two of you.” His son quietly walked up to it and slipped his fingers through his, holding his hand as he would his dad’s, and by doing so gave it his stamp of approval. His mother, Pinky, was jumping with joy, and dadRakesh was cracking jokes, telling her that if she liked the new Hrithik so much, she should go on stage, he’d say, “Statue” and she’d freeze alongside!
As for Hrithik, coming face-to-face with his incredible mirror image was a surreal experience that freaked him out. “Looking at it, I couldn’t laugh for more than two seconds. I’d flinch and take a step backwards, it’s so lifelike and seems to be telling me, ‘Hey dude, you look just like me!” The actor unveiled his look-alike at London’s wax museum, Madame Tussauds, on Thursday, to join an elite Bollywood group that includes Amitabh and Aishwarya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. “It’s humbling. When they asked me where I wanted my figure placed, I told them to put it in a corner,” he laughs.

The foreign media was in no mood to put him in a corner. “I’ve been talking for nine hours,” he admitted from London. “I’m astounded by the interest in Indian cinema globally. It warms my heart,” he asserts. The statue has been moulded on the Dhoom 2 look but for Hrithik, it’s not about the movie. “Whenever my children or any other child is dispirited or tired, I’d want him or her to look at this figure and know that failures can be conquered, you just have to rise above them,” he says. “I don’t want them to ever give up.”
Back home, Hrithik is preparing for another stint on Karan Johar’s couch. “I’ve never been comfortable on it and have always tried to find some excuse to stay away,” he admits. “But I love Karan too much to say ‘no’. Besides, he’s the best TV host we have who can get his guests to reveal secrets they’ve kept bottled up all these years. Sussanne has ‘exposed’ me on the show,” he chuckles.
The couple celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary last year but Hrithik says that 10 years ago, he only put his signature on a piece of paper and made the relationship official. “Sussanne has been a part of my life and soul for 16 years now, and I couldn’t have asked for a better companion. Like me she’s a Sufi at heart. For us, glam, glitz and awards don’t matter. It’s the moments… And of course our kids.”

He refuses to get started on Hrehaan and Hridaan saying that like any other parent, he can get mushy about his sons for hours together. “When I see them, I see unconditional love,” he says. “And an innocence that makes childhood precious.”


Bollywood is waxed!Shah Rukh Khan has his wax figure at two Madame Tussauds museums. His first statue was unveiled in London in 2007, where it was dressed in a black suit and white shirt. In August 2010, he unveiled the second statue in Los Angeles, where the figure had the Taj Mahal in the back drop. It had a black shirt instead of the white one. The actor unveiled his wax figure at a huge celebration comprising dance performances on Bollywood numbers.
Actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s statue was unveiled in September 2004 at the London museum. She was then shooting for Gurinder Chaddha’s Bride and Prejudice, and so the statue’s look was based on her look in the film — a pink patiala salwar and kurti. Post-marriage, another statue of the actor was unveiled at the Times Square museum in New York in 2007. This statue has a bridal get up — it is dressed in a red and gold sari and dons a mangalsutra.
Actor Salman Khan got waxed by Tussauds in 2008. Dressed in a black vest, the statue has six-pack abs and bulging biceps, just like the actor. Salman donated a set of clothes and a bracelet for his wax model. The actor beat nine others, including Madhuri Dixit and Lata Mangeshkar, to win a place of pride at the  museum after a public poll was conducted.
Superstar Amitabh Bachchan was the first Bollywood celebrity to get waxed at Madame Tussauds, London in 2000. Bachchan was chosen, following a poll to find the most famous Bollywood actor who has done close to 170 films. His look was based on Karan Johar’s hit Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. His statue is clothed in a black bandgala achkan, accessorised with a shawl.

Hrithik Roshan signed up as brand ambassador of J. Hampstead Suitings

He is the God of looks and talent! We are talking about the one and only Hrithik Roshan. After having made a splashing debut with Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai, Hrithik is one of those few actors who have managed to etch his name in gold on the silver screen.


After having set the silver screens and the ad arenas afire in Guzaarish, Hrithik is back again and how! He has now been signed up as the brand ambassador of J. Hampstead Suitings. It's the same brand that earlier had Priyanka Chopra as its ambassador


Now with Hrithik coming on board, the brand will definitely have whole new style statement. What say, Duggu!
