Hrithik Roshan has teamed up

Guzaarish` is the first time Hrithik Roshan has teamed up with acclaimed director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The 36-year-old actor plays a magician who turns into a paraplegic bound to a wheelchair after a magic trick goes wrong. The actor says, though the movie is intense and tragic, it also makes people smile.

Bhansali, who has directed films like `Black` and `Devdas`, is known to be a hard task master but Hrithik says the filmmaker gave him full freedom.

Aishwarya, who has acted with Hrithik in `Dhoom 2` and `Jodhaa Akbar`, plays his nurse in `Guzaarish`. They share a special bond which eventually turns towards love.

"I was sceptical about the role because I was evolved enough as an actor and was apprehensive whether I`d be able to translate his creative genius onscreen. But when Mr Bhansali narrated the script, he had me crying and laughing at the same time and I couldn`t wait to start working," said Hrithik.

"The film is dark, intense with a tragic story but it is magical as it makes people smile. Ethan is the happiest character I have ever played and he puts a smile on everyone`s face," said Hrithik, who was in the capital Tuesday to promote the film which releases on November 19.

Hrithik has paired opposite Aishwarya Rai for the third time and the actor says that his equation with the former Miss World is "perfect".

"Ten years ago, we gave our first shot together for a cold drink commercial. Our equation has been perfect ever since. Our approach to work is similar. Its great to work with a friend and there are no ego issues between us," said the actor.

Salman refuse to Promote GUZAARISH in Biss Boss

Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai saga might be passé but the two are still averse to facing each other. So Salman refuses to entertain Aishwarya’s ‘Guzaarish’ on ‘Bigg Boss’ Salman denied Ash starrer ‘Guzaarish’ any kind of publicity on his show ‘Bigg Boss’. Even though the actor is very fond of the film’s lead actor, Hrithik and director, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, he declined to entertain the cast on ‘Bigg Boss’.

Buzz has it that when Salman was told that Bhansali’s film team will be coming on his show for promotion, the actor stated a firm ‘no’.

Confirming the news, a source said, “The marketing team of ‘Guzaarish’ and the channel were in talks and everything was finalized. Both the production house and the channel were keen that the ‘Guzaarish’ team appeared on the show. No one realised that it would actually be a very awkward situation for both Salman, the host of the show and Aishwarya Rai, the leading lady of the film, given their past. Obviously, when Salman learnt about it, he immediately refused to comply.”

And knowing Salman, the channel had no say in the matter after this. The marketing team was left with little options than to refuse the Guzaarish team.

“But to be fair, allowing the Guzaarish team in would have landed Sallu in a situation he never wanted to be in. It’s a thing of the past and both Ash and Sallu have consciously avoided meeting one another,” says the source.
