Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

Vishal Bhardwaj’s international project with Hrithik Roshan and a Hollywood actress created a lot of excitement in the film industry. Unfortunately as is the case with most International projects, this one too may just end up as a pipe-dream. Vishal admits that Roshan has opted out of the project and he may just shelve the film now.

“Hrithik isn’t doing the film anymore. The role isn’t substantial enough, that’s one of the reasons,”

“It sounds strange, but when I plan something, it never materializes. For instance, I was supposed to direct MANTRA for Shekhar Kapur, but it never took off. Or TIMBAKTOO, but it never got made. And MR. MEHTA & MRS. SINGH, but it got aborted. All I know is that I want to start something before December this year.”
