Aish-Hrithik display amazing chemistry on Guzarish sets

Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are back together for the third time with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish and if unit sources are to be trusted then these Bollywood’s hottest on screen pair displayed amazing rapport when they got shooting together again.

Though Guzaarish went on floors from July 31st, Ash just recently joined them after coming back from Mani Ratnam’s Ravana shoot. Our unit sources reveal, “There was instant chemistry between the two as they caught up with each other after a long time. From their first shot together, they were right on cue.”

It is learnt that all their shots, which were rather intense, were canned in the first take itself, much to the delight of the director. And as soon as a dramatic scene would be wrapped up, the two would be cracking up about something they said to each other. “It’s their personal rapport that makes their acting seem so effortless on screen,” our source added.

Apparently Ash had also brought homemade food for the entire unit and was instrumental in making the sets cosy for everyone.

Bhansali’s Guzaarish begins shoot with Hrithik and Aish

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is all set to start his latest magnum opus, Guzarish. Come 20 July, the director will start shooting with his lead pair, Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Mumbai’s Mehboob Studio, where a big set will be put up. Adding to the details, his associate from the movie, said, “Bulk dates of the two actors have been taken. For the next four months, the film will be shot in Mumbai and two other outdoor locations, which we cannot disclose. Hrithik will start shooting with us from 22 July.” Guzarish is a love story and will be Bhansali’s fifth film. Like all his other films, Bhansali prefers shooting at a studio. Bhansali says, “I like to construct sets and then light it up. It is a part of my story telling. My story needs a setting and I like to create that ambience.” Hrithik has taken a long break from his film shooting. Apart from a commercial shoot in the first week of July, the actor will be confined to the edit studios where the post production of his film, Kites is being done. Likewise, the female lead of the film, Aishwarya also took a break recently. Prior to that, she was busy finishing the talkie portion of Vipul Shah’s Action Replay in Karjat, where she stars opposite Akshay Kumar. It is a casting coup for Bhansali to get the duo together after all the brouhaha about their famous kissing scene in Sanjay Gadvi’s Dhoom 2. However, both said that the script and working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali was too great an opportunity for them to miss. And not to forget the magic they created for Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Jodhaa Akbar, which has won the film over 50 awards till date.

Aishwarya Rai,Hrithik Roshan's next Guzarish

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next flick, with Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai, will be called Guzarish.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali had announced the movie quite a long time back.

Now we know something more about the movie. Its name.

And yes, another bit of detail that is being bandied about: Resul Pookutty will do the sound mixing.

I think one will have to wait for another few months to be handed another teeny-weeny detail about Guzarish, like, maybe, the name of one other member of the cast, apart from Hrithik and Aishwarya.

We live in hope.

Whatever the story line of Guzarish be, the movie should be decent. One, because Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a pretty good director and, two, the on-screen chemistry between Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai is pure dynamite.

I can’t think of any other screen couple in recent Hindi film history that has set the screen afire in the way these two do. The only names that comes to mind are Dilip Kumar and Madhubala. They just had to look at each other to make the air sizzle.

Apparently, Guzarish is in pre-production and will be released in 2010.

Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were last seen in Ashutosh Gowariker’s epic movie Jodhaa Akbar. The movie was more of a historical romance, with Hrithik playing Mughal emperor Akbar and Aishwarya his Hindu wife, Jodhaa.

The movie was a blockbuster, despite a slow start, and swept all the main awards at nearly all award functions, in 2008.

It won the Best Film, Best Actor, and Best Director award at both the Filmfare and Star Screen awards.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is also working on Chenab Gandhi, starring Amitabh Bachchan, John Abraham and Vidya Balan. The movie chronicles the life and struggles of Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan, also known as Frontier Gandhi.

Chenab Gandhi will go into production in 2009.
