Hrithik Roshan keen to romance Yami Gautam again?

Besides his ugly fallout with Queen star Kangana Ranaut, which has been serving all media outlets ample of fodder for months now, superstar Hrithik Roshan is also in the news for his upcoming projects, Krrish 4, Anand Kumar biopic and an untitled movie with Yash Raj Films also starring Tiger Shroff.

Recently, there were reports that makers at Yash Raj Films were considering Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor Khan to play the female lead in the action-drama film to be directed by Siddharth Anand. But latest reports claim that not just Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor Khan, Hrithik Roshan's co-star from the film Kaabil, Yami Gautam, is also in the race to bag the female part.


According to sources, Junior Roshan is keen to work with Yami again after the success of Kaabil. "The role requires the female actor to perform action sequences, and Yami has the lithe frame to pull them off convincingly. Hrithik and Yami shared a good working relationship during Kaabil, and it is speculated that he suggested her name for the film," says a source. The source adds that the makers are yet to take the final decision.

The untitled project is scheduled to release on January 25, 2019.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
