Interview with Rakesh Roshan
July 17, 2007
Rakesh Roshan talks about, Krris, family and Hrithik in an tinterview with Hindustan Times

How come Hrithik Roshan is not a part of this project?
That's between Rakesh dada and him. We will miss Hrithik's company and inputs. Krazzy 4 has every element of a trademark Rakesh Roshan film. It's a comedy thriller. We'll be back with Krrish 2.
Krrish has missed all the awards.
Even Koi Mil Gaya did. People today come up to me and tell me how fond they are of the title track, five years down the line. Where were these admirers then? Anyway, I've moved on. I have a feeling that history may repeat itself with Krrish. I think so because my music is like wine.. older the better. People enjoy it more when it's old.
What is your rapport with your brother, nephew and grandson like?
Dada and I have been like a man and his shadow.. always together. Hrithik is a superstar for the world.. for me he's my dear nephew. He's grown up today, has little time for family and social life. But he makes a good father. Dada and I have been like a man and his shadow.. always together. Hrithik is a superstar for the world.. for me he's my dear nephew.We met a few day ago, shared a drink or two. He told me, "Chacha, I'm able to make time for things now." Hrehaan is the cutest kid in the world. He looks like a toy.. he's started walking recently.

Video Download: Lakshya music video

First of all my apologies for abandoning the site, I'm glad nothing much is happening in the Roshan camp except for the usual rumours here and there. The last three months had been so hectic for me, I had to follow these rockers around the world to promote their new album, then I had to travel to the end of the world to rescue Captain Jack and then the past few weeks I joined the Dumbledore's Army to fight some evil dark lords. Anyway, things have started to slow down a bit and now I'm ready to fight elephants and do battle with Hrithik :-) I've put the Lakshya music video back online, so are the Krrish, MDK and AMALL music videos. They are now available for download, I will post an update if bandwidth starts to hit the roof. Thank you all for your patience.

Jodhaa-Akbar nears completion
July 17, 2007
SAWF reports that shooting of Jodhaa-Akbar is close to completion

After filming a major war sequence in Rajasthan with Hrithik, the team recently returned to ND Studios in Karjat to complete the filming with Aishwarya who is due to join the Bachchans on the sets of Sarkar 2 in Hyderabad on July 20. Filming is expected to wind up by the end of this month. The final few days of filming have been dogged by mishaps and difficulties.
Early this month Hrithik is reported to have injured his knee badly while practicing a stunt. The injuries forced him to rest at home and spend some quality time with wife Suzanne and son Hrehaan, though not for long. "He doesn't want his injuries to cause any delay in the schedule. Even after his recent injuries, he has reported on the sets and is presently shooting with Aishwarya," says Hrithik's secretary Ashok Vasodhia.
Apart from the risk of injuries in filming war scenes, the other big challenge for the team has been filming with the animals. "Apart from the actors, the film has 80 elephants, 100 horses and 55 camels for shooting. It's really difficult to shoot with these animals when they get out of hand," explained a Mid Day source

Hrithik gets scentimental
July 17, 2007
Reports say Hrithik has a habit of wearing different perfume for different movie

Hrithik Roshan has a distinct love for perfumes. Call it a fixation if you may, but the actor wears only one perfume at a time when he's shooting for a particular film. Of course, the fragrance is replaced once a new film starts rolling. The story goes that the perfectionist actor handpicks a particular perfume before he starts shooting for a film. He then religiously wears the same fragrance throughout the filming process. Eventually, for him, the film becomes synonymous with the perfume brand.
The actor, who is presently filming for Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodha Akbar, is very particular about the way he wears his perfume. Our source from the sets in Karjat informs that he usually, applies the perfume and allows it to dry before slipping into his costume. He feels that perfume should not be oversprayed as the fragrance is not supposed to repel people.
Hrithik has managed to keep his perfume habit under wraps. When quizzed about it, papa Rakesh Roshan says that he is not aware of his son's way with fragrances. "I wouldn't know about the perfume he wears," he says. However, sister Sunaina has made a note of the actor's all-time favourite in his ever expanding perfume collection. She says, "From whatever I know of him, he is very fond of fragrances by the design house Issey Miyake."

Sharing some of his experience of working with Hrithik Roshan, Bobby says the gifted actor is an out-and-out professional. "Hrithik is a perfectionist.

Hrithik has expressed his desire to work with Anurag Basu.

Anurag Basu's 'Metro' has hit the box-office, so he is planning to make sequel, which will be titled 'Metro 2'. Earlier Hrithik Roshan expressed a desire to work with Anurag, that's why he decided to cast him in the sequel. He says, "We loved the idea of making a sequel to Metro. My writer Sanjeev Dutta and I are currently busy finalizing the script. Rest of the things will fall is place after that. Rakesh Roshan has seen 'Ganster' and 'Metro', and he loved both the films. He expressed Hrithik's wish to work with me once the script is ready and approved. Once the script is decided on, casting will get going." Ram Mirchandani, VP, UTV Motion Pictures confirms, "Metro 2 will start where Metro ended. We are currently thinking of various other locations for Metro 2. Mumbai is not the only metropolitan city, after all. Metro 2 can be situated in Delhi or even in London, for that matter. Anurag will obviously direct it as it is completely his baby and we intend to start the film after the casting is done." It will go on floors later this year.

Sharing body language
July 17, 2007
Physical trainer Prashant Sawant talked about Hrithik

Great minds sure think alike. Guess what is common between Bollywood baadshah Shah Rukh Khan and heartthrob Hrithik Roshan. The two stars have the same physical trainer Prashant Sawant, after an impressed Hrithik insisted on having a fit body like SRK. Hrithik met SRK at his residence, Mannat, before SRK left for his long holiday to London.
That's when some serious guy talk happened between the two, since Hrithik was quite impressed by the way Shah Rukh's body was looking. And the next thing they did was exchange Prashant's number. A close source says, "Hrithik met Shah Rukh at his residence recently and was quite impressed with SRK's fit body. Hrithik immediately took Prashant's number and asked him to train him too."
Prashant confirms the news. "I have been training Shah Rukh for a long time now. Recently, I also got a call from Hrithik saying that he wanted me to train him too. I was a little surprised initially when Hrithik invited me to his residence. He was also impressed by the power equipment that I use to train Shah Rukh. It was great fun training him and he's quite a hard-working actor. Even though Hrithik has a state-of-the-art gym at his Juhu residence, he visited my gym and checked out the equipments and was quite impressed."
The source adds, "Prashant trained Hrithik for a week on a regular basis before he left for his vacation. Hrithik's wife Susanne was very pleased with Prashant's training and she also sent him a 'thank you cheque' after she met him the first time."
