Hrithik Roshan: The Sexiest Indian?

Hrithik Roshan appears on the cover of the February issue of Marie Claire for being India's sexiest man. The mag has females grace its cover and only once a year it is a male. This time, the Guzaarish actor has the honour. In the accompanying article, he talks about love as it is a Valentine's Day issue.

He says, "Love should be the first emotion you discover and learn and grow with." While about his other love -- dance, the star states, "All I can say is when you're dancing, just let go. Don't be afraid to look stupid. I don't have a style; I'm not a professional dancer."

Hrithik’s Agneepath: Shooting begins!

The shooting of Hrithik Roshan’s Agneepath remake, produced by Karan Johar, began in Mumbai on Tuesday.
While Tuesday’s shoot only included the supporting actors, lead actors Hrithik and Priyanka Chopra are expected to join the crew later this month. Hrithik plays the legendary role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, which won Amitabh Bachchan a National Award, a couple of decades back in 1991.
The original released in 1990 and although it didn’t do too well at the box office back then, the film is still remembered as one of Bachchan’s greatest performances ever. With humongous expectations and inevitable comparisons, it would be very interesting to see how Hrithik performs in arguably his most challenging role to date.
The Agneepath remake is directed by Karan Malhotra (the original was directed by Mukul Anand) and is expected to release by the end of 2011.

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 @ 56th Filmfare Awards

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.

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.
