Hrithik to romance Vidya

DHAKA: Buzz is that Karan Johar wants to cast the two in his next.

The success of ‘The Dirty Picture’ and ‘Kahaani’ has evidently put Vidya Balan in the elite list and made her amongst the most sought after actresses in Bollywood.

If the recent industry buzz is to be believed, Vidya Balan is on the wish-list of Karan Johar now.

It’s a known fact that Karan Johar has acquired the rights of the novel ‘The Immortals of Meluha’. The novel written by Amish Tripathi is a trilogy on Lord Shiva.

After watching Vidya Balan’s work in ‘The Dirty Picture’ and ‘Kahaani’, Karan Johar strongly wishes to cast Vidya Balan as the female lead of the film.

Apparently Vidya will be seen portraying the role of Parvati, Lord Shiva’s wife.

But in that case who would be playing Lord Shiva is the big question.

Hrithik Roshan is the name being considered by KJo.

The two delivered the biggest hit of this year in Agneepath.

So if everything goes fine, we would get to see a fresh pairing in the form of Hrithik Roshan and Vidya Balan.

The jodi seems as unique as unusual it is.

Karan Johar literally knows how to get the best of both worlds!
