While he is currently shooting Ashutosh Gowarikers period-drama Mohenjo Daro for which a set has been erected in Bhuj, Hrithik Roshans history-lessons only seem to be getting more intense.
SpotboyE.com has learnt that director Viktor Acharya of Dhoom:3 fame starts shooting with his film in November this year and once again, it is going to be a period-drama for HR. It must be recalled that Hrithik also toplined the cast of Gowarikers Jodha Akbar, which won him rave reviews and was also deemed a commercial success.
A source close to the development told SpotboyE.com that the Yash Raj film in question is set in the 1840s and is an epic love story about a thief. The films leading lady is Deepika Padukone (Keep fire extinguishers handy: Deepika to rub shoulders with Hrithik, SpotboyE.com, June 2) and it will be Yash Rajs most-ambitious film till date in terms of the scale of production.
Said the source, Dhoom: 3 is YRFs most successful film till date and theyre hoping to replicate the success of the con-caper with Viktors next. The pre-production is currently underway and the studio is hoping to put the project on floors by year-end.
