In 2008, Aamir Khan with Ghajini had revived Hindi cinema industry's 'action hero' - slicker, fitter and sexier than those in the 1990s. And Salman Khan had taken it forward with Wanted.
Ever since, A-list actors, who had resorted to drama or comedy to touch the 100-crore-mark, turned back to action. And Hrithik Roshan isn't one to be left out. After Guzaarish and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Hrithik flexed some serious muscle in Agneepath. To follow it up, he decided to then play superhero Krrish. And now, TOI has found out, the actor is in no mood to deviate from his 'action' formula. Jr Roshan has signed up to play Tom Cruise's character in the desi remake of 2010 hit Knight and Day.
According to a source close to the project to be produced by Fox Star Studios, Hrithik will start shooting for the Siddharth Anand directorial film right after he wraps up Krrish 3. "The film is scheduled to go on floors early next year," said the source.
Incidentally, it is Anand's first film since Anjaana Anjaani, two years back. And the leading lady hasn't been finalised yet. "A call will be taken soon on who will play the leading lady. It is a tough choice to make since the actress will have to match Cameron Diaz's onscreen charisma," added the source. Since this will be the official Hindi remake of the James Mangold romantic-action-comedy, the film will be shot on a large scale at various locations across the globe. After all, it is a film about a spy on-the-run.
Text messages to both Anand and Hrithik yielded no answer.
