Hrithik as Aladin
Life is definitely on the upswing for Hrithik Roshan. The blue eyed boy of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan is rocking with meaty roles. With the stupendous success in Krrish and Dhoom 2, he has another plum role as Aladin in a Rs 70 crore blockbuster to be produced by Rohan Sippy. The role is opposite Amitabh Bachchan.
But according to sources Hrithik is forgetting his old benefactors. Zoya Akhtar was one of the few directors who was ready to take a chance on Hrithik post Lakshya. It seems he is unwilling to return the favour. The actor has now opted out of Zoya's much touted love story.
Though close friends cite the sizzling chemistry with Kareena and Suzanne Khan's ire as the main cause of the actor's denial to accept Zoya's offer. The fact is Zoya's film is a small fry as compared to the whopping Aladdin that stars none other than the Big B as the genie.
After all when you have a Rs 70 crore budget movie and a superstar cast, can we really blame Hrithik for giving love story a pass?
It looks like the junior Roshan has finally realised that you are only as good as your last film.
