Post
the
super
success
of
Koi
Mil
Gaya,
Krrish
and
Dhoom
2,
Hritik
Roshan
is
being
extra
conscious
about
the
kind
of
projects
he
chooses.
Though
he
has
only
one
film
currently
on
floor,
Jodhaa
Akbar;
there
is
still
uncertainty
about
its
release
this
year.
Meanwhile
he
hasn't
signed
on
any
new
project
though
whispers
around
the
town
indicate
his
multiple-film
deals
with
corporate
production
houses
or
his
special
appearances
for
films
made
by
friends.
Also
in
the
pipeline
is
the
sequel
to
Krrish
for
which
he
is
currently
co-scripting
with
his
father
Rajesh
Roshan;
even
as
the
film
is
expected
to
come
on
floors
only
next
year.
All
of
this
is
happening
in
Bollywood
where
he
has
firmly
established
himself
as
one
of
the
topmost
star-actors
in
the
current
times.
How
about
Hollywood?
Much
more
than
just
whispers
are
being
heard
that
he
has
already
been
invited
by
some
of
the
top
Hollywood
film
makers.
His
international
spokesperson
from
US
confirms,
"Yes,
it's
true
that
Hritik
has
already
been
invited
by
the
best,
the
biggest
and
the
most
credible
industry
professionals.
Now
all
Hritik
has
to
do
is
ask,
want
and
desire.
I
think
that's
why
he
can
take
his
time
and
pick
and
choose
what
he
likes."
How
serious
and
practical
is
Hritik's
foray
into
Hollywood?
In
the
past
as
well
as
present,
there
have
been
number
of
actors
who
have
tried
their
luck
in
the
overseas
without
a
positive
outcome.
"I
am
aware
about
the
fact
that
they
have
done
projects.
I
also
know
that
Bollywood
stars
have
tried
to
break
into
the
mainstream
for
many
years
now.
But
if
you
observe
closely,
none
have
really
been
successful
in
the
true
meaning
of
cross
over",
she
says.
Reflecting
on
the
sorry
state
of
affairs
when
it
comes
to
Indian
actors
attempting
crossover
to
Hollywood,
she
adds,
"It
is
also
sad
but
true
that
some
have
been
dropped
by
the
biggest
agencies
in
town.
To
make
matters
worse,
some
have
starred
in
films
that
didn't
do
well
at
the
box
office
or
have
been
critically
slammed
with
negative
reviews."
How
does
Hollywood
perceive
Hritik
in
this
case?
Is
he
turning
out
to
be
different
from
the
ilk?
"As
a
publicist
in
Hollywood
working
with
major
motion
picture
studios,
films
and
A-list
stars,
I
have
never
seen
an
artist
so
close
to
perfect.
Do
I
need
to
add
anything
more?" says
Hritik's
spokesperson
confidently.
"The
icing
on
the
cake
is
the
fact
that
West
has
woken
up
the
powerhouse
of
talent
that
Hritik
is
after
looking
at
the
current
crop
of
films
he
has
done.
Whilst
Hollywood's
most
credible
trades
call
him
"The
Bankable
Hritik
Roshan",
A-List
Agents
of
the
American
Cinema
consider
him
to
be
"the
Sun
and
the
Moon
by
himself",
which
by
itself
shows
yet
again
his
reach
and
credibility",
she
reveals.
Since
the
going
has
been
so
great,
when
is
an
announcement
expected
in
this
regard?
After
all
it
will
be
an
event
in
itself
if
Hritik
truly
gets
a
major
role
in
a
prestigious
Hollywood
project.
"Hritik
is
still
keeping
the
standards
high
and
tries
to
concentrate
on
the
priorities
and
current
projects",
she
reveals,
"Hollywood
Executives
believe
him
to
be
the
future
of
Western
films
and
even
though
he
has
not
made
any
attempts
to
star
in
a
Hollywood
film,
he
still
gets
offers.
Just
wait
and
watch!"
Do
we
see
a
space
for
Hritik
in
the
top
league
which
currently
belongs
to
a
Tom
Cruise
or
a
Brad
Pitt?
Laughs
the
lady,
"Some
say,
he
is
the
next
Tom
Cruise,
some
call
him
the
new
Brad
Pitt
while
some
compare
his
class
and
stature
to
George
Clooney.
But
Hritik
is
all
of
the
above
and
some
more."
Turning
serious,
she
declares,
"Hritik
will
never
get
cast
where
Cruise
should
or
in
a
role
that
belongs
to
Pitt.
Hritik
Roshan
will
star
in
a
vehicle
that
is
designed
and
produced
only
for
him.
Hritik
Roshan
will
star
in
a
Hritik
Roshan
film."
