Cruzing Hrithik

Hrithik Roshan, the handsome hunk of bollywood, is all set to act opposite Hollywood’s gorgeous beauty Penelope Cruz in an upcoming Filmkraft production to be directed by ace director Anurag Basu.

Rakesh Roshan, the producer of the film and Anurag Basu, the director, have already reached Los Angeles to finalize the deal with Penelope Cruz to star in the film.

The script of the film required a sizzling hot beauty from outside the country to play the character of a foreigner in it and Rakesh Roshan zeroed in on Penelope Cruz after consulting his actor son Hrithik Roshan. Even, director Anurag Basu, who had earlier directed such acclaimed films like ‘Gangster’ and ‘Metro’, felt that only Penelope could play the role convincingly in the film and so it was decided to approach the actress.

After Filmkraft office in Mumbai got in touch with Cruz’s office in Los Angeles and an appointment was fixed that they proceeded to sign the actress for the coveted project. Now, the director is planning to start the shooting for the film by the middle of this year. The film belongs to romantic action genre and is expected to be on the lines of ‘Dhoom 2’.

Penelope Cruz is an acclaimed actress of Hollywood and had won the best actress ensemble award at Cannes Film Festival for her acting in Pedro Almodovar’s film ‘Volver.’ She was also nominated for Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award and Bafta Award. She has been acting in several languages films like Spanish, French, English, Italian and Portuguese and has been appreciated for her acting skills.

On the other hand, Hrithik Roshan too has become an internationally acclaimed performer after he showed mastery of gadgetry and other hi fi things in Yash Raj’s ‘Dhoom 2’ and Rakesh Roshan’s‘ Krrish’. He is now the only bollywood actor who has played the character of superhero in his films with such aplomb and conviction.

The handsome hunk of bollywood has played the character of Mughal Emperor Akbar in the recently released Ashutosh Gowariker’s ‘ Jodhaa Akbar’ and his display of histrionics is being widely appreciated by the audience as well as the critics. He is perfectly successful in getting into the skin of the character of the emperor but unfortunately the film as a whole is not as wholesome as ‘Dhoom 2’ or ‘ Krrish’ were earlier.

Hmm….hmm…..whatever may be the fate of other movies but there is no doubt that Hrithik’s Greek god looks combined with the stunningly gorgeous Penelope Cruz can create wonder at the box office in the upcoming Rakesh Roshan’s flick, no??
