Hrithik and Ash in Jodha Akbar
Hrithik and Ash are to pair for the first time in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Bollywood flick Jodha Akbar. The film will be produced by Ronnie Screwvala at an estimated cost of Rs.37 crore. Gowarikar had been working on the film since 2001, while he was making Swades. Jodha Akbar had to be planned on a larger scale with huge sets, and a well-researched story. Besides historical facts, this movie will depict the hitherto hidden romantic aspect of the Jodha Bai-Akbar relationship. This love story goes a generation back in relation to the famous Jehangir-Anarkali romance in Mughal-e-Azam. With the lyrics penned down by Javed Akhtar, and the music by maestro AR Rehman, the songs are expected to take us back to a period where art, and song and dance thrived.

[…] When you are talking about the sexiest women in Asia, there is no discounting the fact that the list will be populated by Bollywood’s most desirable beauties. The UK based magazine Eastern Eye came out with a list that concurred with the common belief. Bollywood was fairly well represented with queens of the marquee Rani Mukherjee and Preity Zinta placed at 36 and 41. There was a keen tussle between the Bollywood beauties to grab the top spot. At number four spot came Mallika Sherawat with every pore of hers oozing oodles of oomph. One spot above her went to the beautiful Aishwarya Rai. The talented and sexy Bipasha Basu claimed the second place, what with her ability to perform item numbers and serious acts with aplomb. The crown went to the growing-in-stature Priyanka Chopra, deservedly. You cannot help but fall in love with those beautiful eyes, puckered lips, and hot body. Carry on gal! You’ve got places to go.

[…] You saw him do those mighty leaps across the screen in Krrish, but all does not end there for Hrithik Roshan. The heartthrob of millions continues the leapfrog act having just overtaken the super Khans by miles. Hrithik’s been reported to have signed a whopping Rs.35 crores ($7.5 million) deal with Adlabs for three movies. That makes the handsome star the highest paid actor in Bollywood. According to the grapevine, Amir Khan gets between Rs. 7 – 9 crores ($1.5 - $1.7 million) per film, while Shahrukh Khan earns between Rs. 6 – 7 crores ($1.2 - $1.5 million), and Salman Khan anywhere between Rs. 4 – 5 crores ($1 - $1.2 million) per movie.
