Currently, he is one of the biggest stars in Bollywood. But, interestingly, apart from an epic adventure love story, Hrithik Roshan doesn’t have any other projects in his kitty. Of late, the actor’s name has been associated with a few other movies. But the one that has officially made its way to Hrithik’s next list of projects will see him teaming up with filmmaker Kabir Khan in Sajid Nadidwala’s next production.
Hrithik confirms, “Working with Kabir will be fantastic. And I feel very assured (working) with Sajid.” While other details haven’t been finalised yet, we have learnt that the film, in all likelihood, will go on the floors sometime next year. Kabir says, “Hrithik, Sajid bhai and I have been very eager to work together for a while now. It’s happening, for sure.”
Work is said to be underway at breakneck speed. Kabir and his team of writers are “working out the final draft of the script”, as the trio readies for “one of the most ambitious ventures” of their career. Sajid says, “I am very excited about the film. I just can’t wait to start working with the lethal combination of Kabir and Hrithik.”
The rest of the cast and crew members are yet to be locked in.

The director says though he has not locked the script, he would like to show Hrithik in a Ònever seen beforeÓ avatar. ÒIt is only in principle now. We have not locked the script. We are talking about a film which Sajid Nadiadwala will produce, I will direct and Hrithik will act in it. I have given myself a month to explore and think of ideas,Ó Kabir told IANS on the sidelines of Film Bazaar here. Kabir, who often makes films around terrorism or India-Pakistan ties as a backdrop, is ÒassumingÓ he would present the ÒBang Bang!Ó star in a new avatar. ÒThere are certain aspects of Hrithik that really excites me and I would like to explore the aspects that have not been done before for the project,Ó he added. The filmÕs makers are yet to zero in on other details including the lead actress. Meanwhile, Hrithik is tied up with shooting for his upcoming venture ÒMohenjo DaroÓ and Kabir is enjoying his break by vacationing and looking for ideas.
