Hrithik RoshanFirst it was Hrithik Roshan. Then Abhishek Bachchan. And finally its back to Hrithik Roshan.

According to Mumbai Mirror, its confirmed now. Hrithik Roshan will play the lead in the remake of Agneepath, to be produced by Karan Johar and debutant Karan Malhotra will direct it.

After Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish, Hrithik was supposed to work with Vishal Bhardwaj. But now he wants to complete the remake first and then move on to Bhardwaj’s film.  So Vishal have to wait.

Agneepath was produced by Yash Johar and directed by Mukul Anand. Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty and Danny Dengzongpa were the lead actors. Mithun also bagged a national award for this film.

And like us, those of you who are missing the great lines of Harivansh Rai Bachchan, here it is.

Agneepath

 अग्नि पथ! अग्नि पथ! अग्नि पथ!

वृक्ष हों भले खड़े, 

हो घने, हो बड़े,

 एक पत्र-छॉंह भी मॉंग मत, मॉंग मत, मॉंग मत!

अग्नि पथ! अग्नि पथ! अग्नि पथ!

 

तू न थकेगा कभी!

 तू न थमेगा कभी!

 तू न मुड़ेगा कभी!

कर शपथ! कर शपथ! कर शपथ!

 

ये महान दृश्य है,

चल रहा मनुष्य है,

 अश्रु श्वेत् रक्त से,

लथ पथ, लथ पथ, लथ पथ !

अग्नि पथ! अग्नि पथ! अग्नि पथ!

mumbai mirror guzarish cut

Today’s edition of Mumbai Mirror has a quote from our post “Check your CQ – Bhansali’s Guzaarish“. Actually the full article is on our post.

You can read the full post here. Its on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s new film Guzaarish. The film stars Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai and newcomer Aditya Bal. And the Mumbai Mirror article is here (see pic).

Here is the most interesting part. To quote from the article…

However, a source close to Bhansali said, “Why are people in so much of a hurry? These things can really upset a director. Guzaarish has got nothing to do with any of these three films and Sanjay is very upset with the constant spotlight on the film. It is just a silly prank as no one has the soft copy of the script, so it’s not possible.”

Dear Mr Source (we have no clue how close you are to Bhansali)

We are ready to put a bet. Lets do it. What we said, if thats not the plot of Guzaarish then we will shut our blog. And if its the same what we said in our post…”Guzaarish = Charulata + The Painted Veil + The Sea Inside plus sprinkle some magic in it” then ? Or should we wait till its release ? whatver you want to do Mr/Ms Source!

rajeev khandelwal It was a close call. Sanjay Leela Bhansali was desperate to finalise the lead actor for abhay deolhis next production Chenab Gandhi, to be directed by his assistant Vibhu Puri. First it was Hurman Baweja, then John Abraham and it seems finally Rajeev Khandelwal is in! Though Abhay Deol is still hopeful!

We are ROFL! Wonder why ? Look at the irony of the situation. Rajeev Khandelwal or Abhay Deol – both actors got their big success because of Anurag Kashyap Production (Aamir and Dev D).

And what do you do after you have acted in Anurag kashyap film ? Move to Bhansali school of filmmaking. Whats more interesting, Khandelwal made his mark in the debut film of Raj Kumar Gupta, who was Anurag Kashyap’s assistant. And now its Vibhu Puri, Bhansali’s assitant!

For those of you who dont know the love equation between Anurag Kashyap and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, click here to read the article which started it all. Kashyap’s take on Bhansali’s Black. We love it, but we would like to know what Bhansali thinks of Kashyap’s No Smoking!

And here is our big question – Bhansali, who doesnt watches anyone kind of cinema, to stop himself from getting influnced, finally saw Anurag Kashyap’s films ?

The movie is expected to go on floors in August. Chenab Gandhi is inspired by the story of Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan, India’s freedom fighter who was known as Frontier Gandhi. The movie also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Vidya Balan.

It seems to be a lucky day for cinema maniacs like us. We were surprised to find the script of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s new film Guzaarish in our mailbox.  Yes, yes!! Thank you, whoever did the good deed of the day! (if you got anything to share, do remember to mail us at moifightclub@gmail.com).

We will reserve our comments on the script for the script review post later on. But as we read the script, we were trying to imagine the visuals, and all we could see was three films – Charulata, The Painted Veil and The Sea Inside.

We are starting a new feature – CYCQ – Check your CQ (Cinema Quotient)! If Guzaarish is Charulata meets The Painted Veil meets The Sea Inside, see if you can crack the story. Do sprinkle some ‘magic’ in the plot.

The film stars Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai and newcomer Aditya Bal. Mail us or comment here!

Mid-day has published the plot details of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next Guzaarish. It stars Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai. Here is more about the story of the film from the report.

The film bears similarities to John Badham’s Whose Life Is It Anyway? and will see Hrithik in a wheelchair for most of the scenes.

Hrithik plays Ethan, a radio show host. Aishwarya plays a married nurse who is also Hrithik’s caregiver. The film also deals with the controversial subject of mercy killing/euthanasia. Ash’s character is interesting because she plays a married woman who gets attracted to Hrithik as the second half progresses. The film has dark tones throughout.

Paraplegia is an impairment in motor and/or sensory function of the lower extremities. It is usually the result of spinal cord injury or a congenital condition such as spina bifida.

And according to our sources Hrithik plays a magician whose trick geoes wrong during one of the performances and thats how he becomes paraplegic. Looks like Bhansali is In the mood for “Black” again!

sanjay_leela_bhali2…….for his new film Guzaarish starring Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai. He tried his talent in Saawariya too. If we remember correctly, he did compose one song in Saawariya.

Also, those who know him well, claim that the music of Hum Dil de Chuke Sanam belongs completely to him. Ismail Darbar just executed it. And thats why, without Bhansali, he is nowhere.

Guzaarish will have eight songs and Bhansali has already composed four. Woohoo..we are waiting to hear music director Sanjay Leela Bhansali now!

…..because this doesnt happen everyday! Atleast we dont know of any other father who can be as candid as Rishi Kapoor! Atleast not about his son’s debut film. So, here is Rishi Kapoor talking to CNN IBN’s Rajeev Masand, on Ranbir Kapoor’s debut film Saawariya ( directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali) and why he didn’t like it. Mr Bhansali, are you listening ?
