The actor, who has always been politically correct, seems to be recommending Priyanka Chopra's name to his friends and colleagues lately. Recently, the actor reportedly suggested to Zoya Akhtar that she cast Priyanka Chopra in her forthcoming venture. "It was small role, but an important character in the film. Hrithik was aware of the fact that Kareena is not in talking terms with Priyanka since they worked together in Aitraaz. Post-Krrish Hrithik Roshan has been recommending Priyanka to filmmakers, may be because he is impressed with her acting," says our source. Priyanka came close to Roshan family after Hrithik and Rakesh Roshan signed her for Krrish. Incidentally, Rakesh Roshan wanted to cast Aishwarya Rai in Krrish, but Ash naturally refused to do a screen test. "It was basically a 'look' test, with Ash mistook as screen test. Meanwhile Priyanka was keen on working with Rakesh Roshan and she agreed to go through a screen test to get the role," says our source. Unit members say that Hrithik and Priyanka bonded well during the first schedule of Krrish itself. Incidentally, Priyanka's father was unwell when she was in Singapore shooting for Krrish. "So both, Rakesh and Hrithik were very protective and caring about Priyanka. She was treated like a family member, all through the shoot," says our source. We don't swear by it, of course, but rumour has it that Hrithik has recommended Priyanka to Karan Johar, Farhan Akhtar, Farah Khan, and even Rakyesh Om Prakash Mehra. Even dad Rakesh Roshan might cast Priyanka Chopra in Krrish 3. Not just that, very soon they will be seen in a commercial campaign together too. Priyanka is in touch with Hrithik. They claim to be 'good friends' too. But then again, they may be strictly discussing work. Both Rakesh and Hrithik were very protective and caring about Priyanka.
