Hrithik Roshan has been extremely choosy about films. He has only given his nod for the sequel of Dhoom and will start shooting for it only after completing the sequel of Koi Mil Gaya .
But now the buzz is that Hrithik has agreed to play the male lead role in another film. After directing Aamir Khan in Lagaan and Shah Rukh Khan in SwadesAshutosh Gowarikar is said to have zeroed in on Roshan junior for his next film.
Reports say that Gowarikar is ready with his next script – ‘Akbar-Jodha' and decided upon Hrithik to play the male lead role. When Hrithik read the script, he loved it and readily agreed to play the male lead role.
However, it is said that Gowarikar has still not yet decided on the actress who will play the role of Jodha Bai. It also not yet known whether it will be a newcomer or not like Gracy Singh in Lagaan and Gayatri Joshi in Swades.
Hrithik will start shooting for ‘Akbar-Jodha' only after completing the shooting of the sequel of Koi Mil Gaya.
After Aamir and SRK, Gowarikar seems to have another ace up his sleeve in Hrithik.
