Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai to team up again

Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai to team up again

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has cast Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai again as the lead pair of his next movie, titled Guzaarish.

The pair has earlier tasted success with Bhansali in Jodha Akbar.

The film is scheduled to go on floors by end of 2009.

Reportedly, this film is a remake of Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed hit, The Prestige. It was also speculated whether who would be producing the film along with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Bhansali’s last film was a co-production with Hollywood giant Sony Picture Company.

Industry sources claim, the Hrithik-Aishwarya starrer is a 50-50 joint venture between Bhansali and UTV. Now incidentally, Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Bachchan’s last film together, Jodhaa Akbar was also a UTV production.

Reports also claim that remaking The Prestige was actually Salman Khan’s idea, and it he who suggested it to Bhansali. And now, it seems Bhansali surreptitiously decided to make the film, casting Hrithik instead of Salman in the lead.

Abhiash not moving out of Jalsa

Aishwarya, playing hostess at Jalsa last week in the absence of her in-laws (the Big B was in Macau, Jaya in Delhi), laughed off the rumour while Abhishek sat by preparing his day’s schedule. “I’m clueless about its origin,” she said dismissively. “It’s strange how people jump to conclusions. Once when I visited my father in hospital, the buzz was that I was going for a check-up to the maternity ward! Abhishek and I are at home
in Jalsa.”

And it’s true, they are. There is a happy and positive air about Jalsa that is contagious. Amitabh himself, when Abhiash returned home for a break from the Ravan shoot, had written on his blog not long ago, “The house is complete... and full! Abhishek and Aishwarya came back... There is something about completeness in a family. The house begins to smell right, the furniture, the lights, the food, everything about it suddenly comes to life. Such an endearing moment.”
