Mumbai (IANS): Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali says he always wanted to work with Hrithik Roshan and he's doing exactly that in his new venture that also stars his favourite actress - Aishwarya Rai. The two have already created wonders together in "Dhoom-2" and "Jodhaa Akbar".
"Hrithik and I wanted to work together for a very long time. I've always been impressed by his sincerity as an actor. I was waiting for the right opportunity to sign him. Working with Hrithik would be a new and rewarding experience," Bhansali told IANS.
The director admits that Aishwarya is "special", after having worked with her in "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and "Devdas". "Aishwarya is very special to me. She suits the role in my new film to perfection. When she read the script she was deeply moved," he said.
Bhansali also rubbished reports that he had signed on Pakistani actor Imran Abbas for his next venture. "I haven't signed anyone called Imran Abbas. I'm not making "Heera Mandi" right now...I met him almost a year ago, but I immediately realised he wasn't the actor I was looking for. Just because I don't speak out, people take advantage of my silence."
He also maintains that he is still proud of his "Saawariya", which flopped. "It's my rarest work in terms of treatment."thehindu.com
