If sources close to Yash Raj Films are to be believed,Dhoom 3 director Vijay Krishna Acharya aka Victor has convinced Hrithik Roshan to play leading man in his next film. And everyone was thinking it would beDhoom 4. Not so. We hear that their next is another full-on commercial film that is very different from what Acharya has done to date.

In Tashan, the filmmaker showed two different classes of people, and Dhoom 3 was about the emotional journey of two brothers. This time, we hear, he will focus on another kind of India. It's going to be an entertaining watch but heavy on content. This film will have not one but two leading ladies and will start rolling by end of this year. Watch this space!

Guess Who?

And this happens when you are delivering successes one after another and people around you make you believe you are the sole reason these movies are faring so well at the ticket window. Yes, this actress is having a gala time at the ticket counter. But she harboured one lingering wish - to be paired opposite a particular A-list actor.

Finally, a big production house managed to convince this actor to feature in one of their forthcoming ventures and they wanted this particular actress to be paired opposite him. Undoubtedly, this actress was thrilled. The film was being helmed by a very successful director plus there was the BIG banner. The cherry on the top was being paired opposite this A-lister for the first time.

Alas! This actress will have to wait for her dream to come true. She heard the story and felt that unlike her last few releases, where her role was as important as that of the leading man, this movie didn't have much meat in it for her. So she has decided to turn down the film.

Will this production house alter the script to make her role equally important so that this pair can be seen on screen for the first time? Let's wait and watch!

However, Hrithik Roshan’s YRF film Thug, to be directed by Viktor (Dhoom 3) has been postponed. According to latest updates, “The film was to start in January 2016, but now will start only in April. Hrithik wanted to prepone his dad Rakesh Roshan’s home production directed by Sanjay Gupta [which might star Kareena Kapoor] as he loved how the script has developed.



Thug is said to be inspired from Johnny Depp’s character Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean series and will be shot on a specially-constructed ship at YRF Studios.”
