Srinivas Padma: Personal Musings on Life, Growth, and Connections

After Abhishek Bachchan’s exit from Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra’s Delhi 6 , it was heard that the director had approached Hrithik Roshan for the role. The latest buzz is that Akshay Kumar has replaced him in this movie. It was rumoured that Hrithik had suggested some changes in the script to which Mehra objected, and hence Hrithik opted out of the film. Neither Mehra nor the Dhoom 2 actor were available for com ment. Hrithik is busy with his shoot for Jodha Akbar at Karjat and was not reachable when contacted. However, his secretary Ashok Vashodia confirmed that Hrithik is no longer doing the film. “I would like to inform you that Hrithik is no longer doing Mehra’s Delhi 6 and we don’t want to say anything more on this issue,” he said.

There has been quite a buzz about Hrithik Roshan’s appearance and his negative role in Dhoom 2. But the Krrish actor says that he doesn’t see his character, Aryan, as negative. “He is always on the wrong side of the law. My character, Aryan, is a guy who has this secret mission to rid the world of all objects of desire that give rise to greed and dirty politics.” H r i t h i k ’s character believes gold and diamonds create greed and come in the way of true compassion, so he steals them. “So I don’t really see him as a vil lain. However, one really doesn’t know what he does with all the things that he steals in the film. His modus operandi is unique because he steals with such skill that it really makes you want to be like him,” says Hrithik. About his look in Dhoom 2, Hrithik says that the makeup artists from London completely transformed him. “They were truly people with a magic wand. It was exciting to try out these different disguises. Aryan is very good at what he does, but he’s an...

Dhoom 2 is out next month but the latest buzz around in tinsel town is on the third part of the successful movie. 'Dhoom 3'! The big coup is that the film will star Shah Rukh Khan in the negative role that has been essayed by John Abraham in 'Dhoom' and Hrithik Roshan in 'Dhoom 2'. Could this rumour have started after Shah Rukh's 'negative' shade in last week's release 'Don'? Anyway, while King Khan will play the villain, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will be on the opposite side of the fence, playing the cop and his sidekick in the third part too. There's also reports suggesting Priyanka Chopra being paired with John Abraham for the trilogy. Aditya Chopra (producer) has begun working on the script of 'Dhoom 3'. Chopra is reportedly so impressed by the way 'Dhoom 2' has shaped up that he has watched the movie more than a dozen times.

Actor Hrithik Roshan has gone beyond any actor’s pricing after signing a deal with Adlabs, a Reliance-Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group company , at a reported price of a whopping Rs. 350 million ($7.6 million). Adlabs Film Ltd. has apparently signed the ‘Krrish’ star for a three-film deal. While Roshan’s father Rakesh Roshan says “negotiations are on,” other reliable sources say the deal has been signed, sealed and delivered. The deal makes him the highest-paid star in Bollywood, outpricing every other actor, including Aamir Khan , who was reportedly paid Rs. 70 million ($1.5 million) for supethit film ‘Rang De Basanti.’ Roshan’s reported price would change the entire pricing system in Bollywood, spiralling star fees out of control. A famous filmmaker, who wanted to be anonymous, said: “If true, this is a very unhealthy development. Hrithik is no doubt a fabulous hard-working actor. But star prices have constantly been the bane of Bollywood. Often more than 65 percent of the budget for a f...
