Papa Roshan bags role for son

Wednesday, July 04, 2007
The talented Anurag Basu is undoubtedly making a name for himself as a director who experiments with varied subjects. With the success of Gangster and Life in a.... Metro, expectations of him have only grown.

The latest buzz is that Anurag is planning a sequel to Metro in which Hrithik Roshan will play the lead. It is learnt that papa Roshan was so impressed by Anurag's work that he went ahead and expressed his "son's desire" to work with the director.

"My writer Sanjeev Dutta and myself is currently busy finalizing the script. Once it is ready, casting will get going," is all that Anurag has to say. But sources even hint that if all goes well, the film will have an intimate scene between the curvaceous Shilpa Shetty and heart-throb Hrithik. Now that's something to look out for.

But from when Rakesh Roshan started bagging roles on behalf of his son. Has it been a norm or is the son too busy to talk to Anurag?
