Kiss and Show - Hrithik Roshan

Industrywallahs are sniggering at Hrithik’s desperate PDA attempts with his wife Suzzane. The couple who is currently holidaying in the US was spotted lip locking in full public view in LA’s plush Hollywood area. The snaps are all over the Internet and sources claim that this is all part of the pre-publicity campaign for Kites.

Now that his film is geared up for release next month, Hirthik is desperate to wipe out all the negative publicity his film received thanks to his alleged fling with Barbara Mori. Hrithik is more than determined to prove to the world that all his well in his marital paradise. So what better way to do so than kiss his wife of nine years in public. It’s a pity though that nobody is impressed with his tactics, although we are sure his wife is one relieved lady.

Hrithik-Aishwarya 'Guzaarish' in Portuguese!

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Guzaarish’ which stars Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai will have portions shot in Portuguese. And hence, Hrithik and Ash have already hired Portuguese language experts who will help them with the accent and dialect for their respective roles.

Why Portuguese? As per sources, the film is set in the Goan period when people used to speak the language. In fact, erected sets of the film shows “Portuguese architecture and style”, reveal sources.

Apparently Bhansali insisted on getting someone who understood the fashion history of Goa under the Portuguese, who rule the state for 450 years and zeroed in on Kolkata-based Sabyasachi Mukherjee who's currently working on many A- list projects like the Abhishek-Aishwarya Raavan and Amitabh-starrer Paa.

Bhansali has also asked Hrithik to put on weight for this movie -- and he already has gained some kilos. He'll sport long hair and also a beard like Goan people preferred."

Stammering is hell: Hrithik

Haklana or stammering is a handicap faced by many young children and adults. As traumatic it is for them, Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan also admits to having this problem.

Hrithik shared his trauma, fears and how he overcomes his speech impairment with host Farah Khan on Tere Mere Beach Mein.

In an emotional and poignant episode, Hrithik speaks on how he was teased as a kid, struggled to speak normally without stammering and fulfilled his dreams of becoming an actor. Hrithik reveals that he was around six years old when he began stammering. He says, “Everything seems normal till you start talking. The minute you start talking, you get stuck and you don’t know why? Right from your toes to the ends of your hair strands, you are in complete shock. Your heart palpitates, you don’t understand and you are aware of people looking at you. You can compare it to hell.”

When asked till when the problem continued, Hrithik says, “Six to 35. I am 35.” On being asked if he was made fun in school, Hrithik says, “Of course. Unfortunately, it’s one of those handicaps that is made fun of. Especially kids, you can’t blame them but they end up being mean because it looks funny! So the childhood of a person suffering from a problem like this is pure hell. From the time you wake up in the morning to night you almost dread some days...to wake up! Because you have to go through an entire day when you have to use your speech and you have to go through all those little moments of hell.”

And he adds, “For oral tests at school, I used to bunk school, I used to fall sick, I used to break my hand, I used to get a sprain.” He also speaks of getting tremendous family support but admits to it making it tougher on him; “Mummy and daddy have been supportive. Yes, but sometimes love is not enough! When you love someone you want that person to be okay and it comes out as anger. It’s like “Come on, you can do it, just concentrate hard!”

Farah asks, “So was it harder when they told you that?”

Hrithik admits, “Of course, it was.”

Kites to release in Decmber?

The latest rumour doing the rounds in the trade circles is that Kites may not release on January 15 next year at all! Instead the movie might hit the screens almost a month before the scheduled date – ie December 18, 2009.

Apparently it is Rakesh Roshan's idea to push for a December release and director Anurag Basu and the film's star Hrithik Roshan have been working overtime on the post-production aspects.

According to a source, "The film is now on the editing table and they are gearing up for a December 18 release. The promos of the movie are also being readied for the release."

It seems Rakesh Roshan is keen that the film's release does not clash with Aamir Khan's 3 Idiots, which releases on December 25.

"Rakesh Roshan also wants to ensure that Kites be the solo release of the week. Hrithik Roshan has not had a release after Jodhaa Akbar and he has completely focused on Kites for the past year. So everyone is keeping their fingers crossed," the source told buzz18.com.

However when we contacted Rakesh Roshan he said, "Nothing has been finalised as yet."

Aishwarya Rai piared opposite Hrithik Roshan in their 3rd film together

The high profile pairing of Hrithik Roshan and Aishearya Rai in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next ‘Guzaarish' has people talking all over the world. According to sources, the scenes being filmed have been intense in nature. You can always expect that from a Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie. According to Aishwarya, Guzaarish is going to be different from their first two films. “This time we aren’t going into the glamour zone,” said Ash. “Sanjay was so excited when he found the right script for us to work together in. ‘This is it,’ he said. For the first time I didn’t even read the script before I said yes. It’s a very real, very intense drama. If Dhoom2 and Jodha Akbar are any indication of what is in store, we are surely in for a joy ride in the theaters.

Shah Rukh, Hrithik in 'Dhoom 3'?

Reclusive director Aditya Chopra, who is perfectly content to oversee and remote control the YRF empire while leaving the actual direction of the films to someone else, is now excited at the possibility of Dhoom 3, especially if his wish list of actors is satisfied.

Reportedly Shah Rukh Khan, who can never say no to Adi, has consented to be part of the film. An equally important role has been offered to Hrithik Roshan. Hrithik who is fastidious to a fault sometimes, is supposed to be mulling over the offer, even as he stays busy with his home production Kites and his new film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Guzaarish.

Abhishek Bachchan will of course reprise the Jay Dixit of the earlier two films and Uday Chopra will continue to play the lovable Ali who woos all the pretty girls.

But the icing on the very crowded cake will be that Aditya Chopra will direct the film. But, and this is a big but, only if all the said actors are in place.

But then, has anyone been known to refuse Adi? We think not.

Small screen for Hritik

After SRK and Amithabh and other series of superstars opting for the television,Hritik's name is added to the list . Hrithik Roshan has been signed as a goodwill ambassador for a yet to begin show on NDTV imagine named “Junoon…Kuchh Kar Dikhaane Ka.” The actor here is not a host or a judge, but is present only to raise the spirits of the participants. While the organizer’s happiness is understood, Hrithik himself is also quite exited about the project.

“I am very pleased to be associated with NDTV Imagine and Junoon. I can identify with the participants and their desire to achieve success with their god-given talent. I relate to their positive and exuberant spirit because I believe that I have a similar Junoon – be it my work or my personal life,” says the actor.

Hrithik Roshan gears up for release of Anurag Basu's Kites

MUMBAI: Hrithik Roshan has been away from the limelight for some time now. The actor, who has had limited interaction with the media, is now slowly coming out of his cocoon and all this is because his home production, Kites is readying for release.

Hrithik recently performed at the annual Rajiv Gandhi Awards after a hiatus of three years. Just a few days prior to that the actor was a guest for Farah Khan's chat show, Tere Mere Beach Mein, where he spoke at length about how he overcame his inadequacies to rise to become a superstar.

He was also part of the press conference that announced the show to the media. A close aide of the actor said, "Kites is a big film for Hrithik. It will also launch his Hollywood career and Hrithik is going to go all out to promote himself and the film. This is just the beginning. In fact Rakesh Roshan is expected to fly to Los Angeles to show the final print to Hollywood distributors by the end of September."

Hrithik has only been seen at award ceremonies all of this year where he has bagged almost all the awards for the best actor in a leading role for Ashutosh Gowarikar's Jodhaa Akbar. He was also recuperating from an injured knee that has kept him out of action for some time now. But all that is in the past and one can expect a Hrithik media blitz in the times to come. The actor is also busy shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish where he stars opposite Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
