Hrithik to star opposite Spanish actress

Last updated on: February 07, 2008 14:52 IST

After it was announced that Shah Rukh Khan will be seen with a new heroine in Aditya Chopra's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, we hear that Hrithik Roshan will also have a new heroine in his forthcoming film. The difference is, that Hrithik's actress will have to be Spanish.

 

Our sources tell Gullu that a hunt is on to find a new actress who can dance the salsa.

 

The film will be a romantic thriller, and will mostly be shot in Spain.

 

It will be directed by Anurag Basu, and will be based on the lines of his earlier film, Gangster, starring Emraan Hashmi, Shiney Ahuja and Kangana Ranaut. It will be produced under Rakesh Roshan's

banner, FilmKraft. 

 

The last time Hrithik danced the salsa on screen was for a biscuit advertisement, with actress Isha Sharwani.

 

At present, the actor is recovering from a knee injury, but is in all likelihood, will be in shape by May, when the film shoot will commence.

 

But first, we will watch Hrithik opposite Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Ashutosh Gowarikar's epic film, Jodhaa Akbar, which will release on February 15.

 

Interestingly, Hrithik was to be a part of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, with SRK but apparently, Aditya Chopra felt the need to make a solo-hero film.
