There have been speculations about the star cast of "SHUDDHI" for a long time now. Finally Hrithik and Kareena have been finalized for the role.
The Director-Producer duo seems to be on a winning track after the huge success of AGNEEPATH, once again they both are back with SHUDDHI.
Says Karan Johar, "I'm excited to see Hrithik and Kareena back after 12 years."
Karan Johar says, "When Karan (Malhotra) came to me with SHUDDHI, his desire was to cast Hrithik and Kareena. I spoke to both of them and they were happy to be on board. The film is an intense love story and because it has a reincarnation theme, he has written a script that is dramatic and outstanding. Also, such a theme requires actors who can bring the desired intensity. To me, it is really an important casting. But I don't look at it as a coup. Kareena is beautiful, talented and a powerhouse performer. And Hrithik, well, what can I say? He can melt a nation just with his eyes."
TODAY, Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan celebrates his 38th birthday. However, instead of doing some shor sharaba the handsome actor wants to keep his birthday a simple and private affair this time around. As per the sources, Duggu is planning to celebrate his big day with family and some close friends.
As for films, all eyes are now set on Hrithik's soon-to-be-released AGNEEPATH, where we'll get to watch the actor in the role of an angry young man after a long time.
His acting prowess and of course his humble nature makes him an extremely adorable actor in Bollywood today.
Join us in wishing the very talented Hrithik Roshan a very Happy Birthday!
Hrithik Roshan says he is "humbled" by the compliment. The 37-year-old actor has been voted 'Sexiest Asian Man in the World' for 2011 in a survey conducted by a UK weekly. He toppled last year's winner Ranbir Kapoor, who finished sixth.
Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor was the surprise runner-up, with Shah Rukh Khan in third place and Salman Khan coming in fourth.
Exactly a week ago director Karan Johar had announced on micro blogging site that Katrina Kaif will be performing on the item song, 'Chikni Chameli' in AGNEEPATH.
After a week's preparation, the AGNEEPATH team went on floor with the item song shoot on Tuesday.
With a Katrina Kaif item number for the Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt starrer, the hype for this 2012 mega star movie is expected to go bigger.
AGNEEPATH will be releasing on 26th of January, 2012, where 2 biggies of Bollywood would be battling for revenge on the silver screen.
Recognising true talent in cinema, the Zee Cine Awards held last night awarded Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai the leading awards in Best Actor (Male) and Best Actor (Female) categories for their film ‘Guzaarish’. And even though Salman Khan’s film ‘Dabangg’ grabbed maximum awards, the actor failed to bag a single trophy as the Best Actor (Popular Choice) was bagged by his foe Shah Rukh for ‘My Name is Khan’.
As for Dabangg, the film won Best Film, Best Debut Female to Sonakshi Sinha, Best Debutant Director to Abhinav Kashyap, Best Song to Munni Badnaam Hui and Best Music to Sajid-Wajid.
The Zee Cine Awards, the largest people’s choice awards has always lived up to its image of being the truest platform for awarding deserving candidates and the 2011 edition of awards was no different.
Ecstatic over winning the best actor award, Hrithik Roshan said, “This movie is very special to me because of its message. It is the suffering, weaknesses, and misery in our life that become the wind beneath our wings.”
Aishwarya Rai thanked her mentor Sanjay Leela Bhansali and said, “This is a very special film for me. I’ve always had career milestones with Sanjay’s movies – from ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ to ‘Devdas’ and now ‘Guzaarish’.”
The Badshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan and talented actress Vidya Balan won the awards for the Best Actor and Actress in popular choice category for their films ‘My Name Is Khan’ and ‘Ishqiya’ respectively.
Vidya was at her wittiest best after she received the award. The pretty actress said, "If I’d known that swearing, shooting a gun, and having an affair with two men would get me an award, I would have done it five years ago.”.”
SRK looked idealistic while receiving the award and said, "I promise everyone here that I will work very, very hard and make sure that... at the end of my life and at the end of my career, I am deserving of all that you have given me.”
Karan Johar won the Best Director Award in the popular award category for SRK starrer ‘My Name Is Khan’, while filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane won the Best Director Award adjudicated by the Jury.
The star studded evening held in Singapore saw the Bollywood bigwigs set the stage on fire. SRK, Aishwarya Rai, Deepika Padukone and handsome hunk Arjun Rampal sizzled with their performances.
Shah Rukh asked Hrithik and his wife Suzanne to get to the stage and made the ‘Guzaarish’ star dance to ‘Sajda’.
Priyanka Chopra too had put up a brilliant show by introducing each of the Best Film nominees by enacting characters from the films.
Akshay Kumar, the host for the evening was accompanied by director Sajid Khan. The superstar kickstarted the ceremony by taking potshots at himself. He requested the audience to maintain a minute’s silence to pay condolence to his film ‘Action Replayy’ which proved to be a dud at the Box Office.
The actor-director duo did not spare anyone. They cracked jokes at hotties Katrina Kaif for her Hindi accent and Deepika Padukone for her choice of airlines.
The starry evening was one of its kinds and an event worth treasuring.
