Ash, Hrithik ready to go back in time
[ 11 Nov, 2006 0921hrs ISTTIMES NEWS NETWORK ]
Costume drama Jodha Akbar is ready to roll as Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan have packed their bags and are set to fly to Jodhpur.
It seems that Aishwarya Rai and costume dramas are meant for each other as she has been a part of many such films right from Chokher Bali and Devdas to Umrao Jaan, and Guru which is also a period film set in the 1950fs.
"I've often been told I belong to another era. And my selection of films reflects that old-world reality," she said, as she packs to leave for a large part of November.
Meanwhile Hrithik Roshan, says, "For me the challenge of doing my first costume drama is to look convincing in the old-world costumes. I'm really looking forward to my first period film."
Interestingly, Hrithik was supposed to do Gowariker's previous film. "I had read Ashutosh's script for Swades. I couldn't see it from the director's perspective, and therefore didn't think I was equipped to perform the part.h
"I wasn't the best person to translate Ashutosh's vision. And this was right after Lagaan so when Ashutosh came to me I felt on top of the world. Swades is one of my favourite films. And Ashutosh is definitely one of my favourite filmmakers."
"His vision is unimaginable. It's such a challenge to satisfy Ashutosh. I hope I live up to his expectations," he added.
