Hrithik Roshan Deal With Hollywood


Hrithik gets his ticket to Hollywood

If all goes well then actor Hrithik Roshan may be making his Hollywood debut very soon. The actor is believed to have cracked an exclusive deal with Hollywood agency Brillstein Gray.
It is believed that director Stephen Gaghan, writer of films like Abandon and the George Clooney-Matt Damon starrer Syriana, has through Brillstein Gray approached Hrithik for Kafir. According to sources, Gaghan was in Mumbai sometime ago. He was on a location hunt for his film Blink: The Power Of Thinking Without Thinking, which is based on Malcolm Gladwell's book by the same name. It has Leonardo de Caprio in the lead.

Gaghan had traveled to Rajasthan and Goa to find an apt location for his film. It was during this visit that Gaghan happened to watch Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and Lakshya. He also saw some portions of Dhoom 2 as well. After that he felt that Hrithik was the right choice to play the lead role in Kafir. Kafir's scriptwriter Ahsan Hyder has confirmed that Gaghan has approached Hrithik through Brillstein Gray.

Hyder met Gaghan through a common friend and they discussed several script ideas. The subject of Kafir, which is based on a global issue, appealed to Gaghan and he expressed his desire to make a film on it. The title is expected to be changed though. It is believed that Rakesh Roshan too has confirmed the fact that Brillstein Gray has been appointed by Hrithik as his official agency for his international projects and also the fact that he has been approached by Stephen Gaghan for a film.
