Hrithik Roshan has given his consent
to collaborate with Hollywood director
Rob Cohen in his next which will be set
in India.
His May 2010 release Kites was
supposed to be his stepping stone to
Hollywood and now Hrithik Roshan
seems set to finally make a splash in
the West. On June 4, Hrithik Roshan
refuelled the crossover rumours when
he and his parents (Rakesh and Pinky
Roshan) were spotted dining with
Hollywood filmmaker Rob Cohen in
Mumbai.
Mirror has it that Cohen visited
Mumbai to cast Hrithik in his next
venture and the actor has said 'Yes'.

The filmmaker, who has helmed hits
like The Fast and the Furious and XXX,
had a long chat with Hrithik about the
film, an action flick which will be shot
in India.
The film will also star a parallel male
lead which will be played by a Hollywood
actor and Cohen will make another
visit to the country, when he is ready
with the final script.
A source close to the development told
Mirror, "Cohen had made a few earlier
trips to Mumbai and met Hrithik. This
one finalised the deal."
This will be Hrithik's first Hollywood
flick but the 40-year old star is
already quite popular in Hollywood.
For one, Twilight star Kristen
Stewart had reportedly confessed
that if ever she had a baby boy, she
would want him to look like Hrithik
Roshan but with then boyfriend
Robert Pattinson's eyes.
And when Krrish 3 set the cash
registers ringing very loudly in the US
in November 2013, film critics hinted
that this success might herald the
birth of a crossover Indian
superstar.
