Rakesh Roshan to direct Hrithik again…

It is final, though not yet official. Hrithik Roshan will once again be directed by father Rakesh Roshan. But this time, it is not another film in the Krissh series, but something else altogether. According to sources in the know, Rakesh Roshan and his son, are coming together for the fifth time to do an intense love story.

Says the source, “Rakesh has not done a full-fledged love story since Kaho Na…Pyar Hai in which he launched his son.After that they got busy with the Krissh series. But now Rakesh feels the need to reclaim his romantic roots with Hrithik.”

Though neither father Rakesh nor son Hrithik Roshan is willing to admit it yet, the love story is something that father and son owe to themselves and to the audience.

Explains the source, “Rakesh produced an intense love story Kites for his son. But Anurag Basu made a hash of it. Now Rakesh wants to direct a passionate love story. The script has been finalised and the project goes on the floors early next year.”

Hrithik has a major fan base among women. But he has done very few pure love stories. His dad’s Kaho Na…Pyar Hai and Ashutosh Gowariker’s Jodhaa Akbar come to mind immediately.
