Hrithik Roshan injured again

Hrithik Roshan got injured while shooting for "Krrish 3" at the Filmistan Studios -- he fell down and hurt himself very badly.

A member from the unit revealed that Hrithik, who has been assisting his father, Rakesh Roshan, on the sets, attempted to attend to his injury himself.

"Hrithik tried to use the first-aid kit to nurse his hand, but then he realised that the injury required professional attention. His skin on his right hand had peeled off and so, he had to take a break from the shoot. Everyone on set was very concerned, but he did not let it affect the shoot," added the unit member.

The incident took place last week.

In October, Hrithik injured his back while shooting for an action sequence for "Agneepath" remake and was taken to the Breach Candy hospital here for treatment.

Hrithik's red-hot new girl,"Esha Gupta"

It seems like searching for Hrithik's leading lady in Krrish 2 has become a game of musical chairs that will not end. A role which has some grey shades to it had been offered to Kangna Ranaut and Sonakshi Sonakshi at first but both of them refused to be part of the film.

Eventually, Chitrangda Singh accepted it only to walk out suddenly citing date problems (read tiff with the Roshans). And finally, when we heard the news of Jacqueline Fernandez pairing up with Duggu little did we know she'll depart soon as well making way for a newbie and a popular model Esha Gupta.

Esha won the Miss India International title in 2007, and represented the country in the Miss International 2007 contest. She has also featured in the Kingfisher calendar.

Her sex appeal had earlier won her a role in Bhatt's Jannat 2, which Prachi Desai and Paoli Dam were considered for.

Buoyant with her recent project fishing Esha considers herself as a serious contender for THE next Bollywood babe title.

"I think I'm going to make it really big. So I don't need a back-up plan. I might model till the age of 34 or 35, but by that time I will be already settled and have a family," she told a leading daily.

But when asked about how she plans to tackle the competition from star kids, and other models crossing over into B-town, she said: "I enrolled in an acting school and have been brushing up on my dancing skills. Fortunately, I have a good handle on my Hindi diction. But times are changing - on one hand we have models who have done really well onscreen and then there are actors who can't act."

"I guess it's easy to break into the industry, but not easy to make it big. I've been lucky because I got the best project," she added.

Hrithik, Kareena in Imtiaz Ali's next?

Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor who were earlier seen in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Yaadein, Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon would be seen together after many years in Jab We Met director Imtiaz Ali's next, reports Mid Day.

A source however says the casting might not happen at all. "But that's far from true. Don't they know history? Bebo was supposed to be part of Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, remember? Though she's done films with her once special friend in a lot of movies and has maintained cordial relations, the past does haunt, no?"

But Kareena Kapoor who must be keen on repeating her Jab We Met success might take up the offer with or without Hrithik.

"I never thought in my wildest of dreams that there will be a time in my life when I'll be unveiling my own statue at the Madame Tussauds. I remember once I've stood there in the line for three hours when I was a 12-year-old to see the museum," Hrithik told reporters here.

Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Bachchan, Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan have already secured their place in the London museum.

Hrithik Roshan can retire now
The first film Madhuri Dixit-Nene watched after landing in Mumbai a week ago was her Devdas director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish (she hasn't watched his last film Sawaariya).

She has come away impressed with Hrithik Roshan's portrayal of a quadriplegic in the film. She called him to shower praises on him saying it was one of the best performances she had seen in a long time.

Shocked, thrilled

A source close to Hrithik discloses, "He was shocked and thrilled when Madhuri called him on Sunday and chatted with him for 20 minutes about how much she had loved his performance.

She told Duggu that Ethan was the most difficult character she's seen on celluloid and his portrayal blew her mind. " Hrithik has great regard for the Dhak Dhak girl and her words meant the world for him.

Mads complimented him on everything from his voice, to the look in the eyes and told him that she found Hrithik's dance sheer poetry.

She admits, "Yes I did call up Hrithik to praise him on his brilliant performance in the movie. He played a quadriplegic and it's so difficult to do such a role as there's no body language.

He emoted with his eyes so convincingly. I've heard that he really worked very hard on his role.

I told him that he was unbelievably good and he said he could now retire! Even Aishwarya and all the actors have done a good job. Sanjay has made a beautiful film. "

Madhuri reminisces, "I remember when I was shooting for his dad's film Kishan Kanhaiya I heard Hrithik (who was assisting Rakesh Roshan) saying Anil's dialogues loudly in front of the mirror.

I felt he had lot of potential and told him so. Of course he was embarrassed. I had discovered the germ of Hrithik's talent and sincerity even then. He is still the same as hard-working as ever!"

At the time, Mads had told him that he would make his mark in the acting world a compliment Duggu cherishes even today.
