Hrithik the new shiva and Vidya the new Parvathi?

Mahashivratri Buzz: Hrithik Roshan, Vidya Balan Go Celestial For 'Meluha'?

It's a terrific success that's going to be book-ed in style. Quite truly so, considering that moviemaker Karan Johar has bought the rights to adapt author Amish Tripathi's 'The Immortals Of Meluha' for cinema.

Incidentally, on the auspicious occasion of Mahashivratri, the mediavine has been buzzing with news over the reported casting of the lead roles of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi, principal characters of Tripathi's book.

Word has it that the toss-up is between Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor to essay the lead role of Lord Shiva, while Vidya Balan, Rani Mukerji, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Kangana Ranaut are reportedly being considered to portray Goddess Parvathi.

Web-agents, meanwhile, have turned to being casting directors on the flick. States one, "Hrithik will be able to do full justice to the role of Lord Shiva. Vidya Balan's name for the role of Goddess Parvathi has already got close to 100 approvals. Clearly, Vidya's role in The Dirty Picture has made no dent to her image as an Indian beauty. Besides, Hrithik and Vidya will make a fresh pair and that will be some novel casting too."
