Hrithik is known for his adventourous stunts in exotic locations but his new role in a film has his kids jumping with joy.
In the past actors like Dilip Kumar has learnt to play the sitar for Azad and Shabana Azmi learnt Carnatic sangeet for Morning Raga while Ranbir Kapoor will learn to play the guitar for Imtiaz Ali’s Rock Star.In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film ‘Guzaarish’ Hirithik plays the role of a magician. A source was quoted saying, “Bhansali did not want Hrithik to fake the magic. Nor did he want the usual rabbit-from-the-hat kind of tricks. The director wanted the magic scenes to look authentic, so a hunt was launched for a magician who would fit the bill. The yardstick was to find an expert who will give Guzaarish ample time and establish a comfort level with Hrithik.”
After a long search, a Ukrainian magician was finalized and was flown down to Mumbai to teach Hrithik some tricks. The usual tricks that our PC Sorcars do weren’t impressive and so he taught Hrithik some unique tricks not seen so far in India.
As practice for his role Hrithik has been performing magic tricks for his kids and to his surprised they were quite amused. So much so that Hrehaan, Hrithiks elder son has asked the star to be the official magician at his next birthday party.
Looks like Hrithik has an alternative career to fall back on just in case nothing else works out.
