SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

Hrithik Roshan’s International agent recently released some comments regarding the Jodha Akbar star’s foray into Hollywood. I assume that these were taken during the lunch break at the Delhi Mental Hospital… If not, I’m sure we can all rest safely in the knowledge that there is surely someone following this woman around with a massive butterfly net.

She says, when quizzed about Roshan’s Hollywood credentials,

“Yes, it’s true that Hrithik has already been invited by the best, the biggest and the most credible industry professionals. Now all Hrithik has to do is ask, want and desire. I think that’s why he can take his time and pick and choose what he likes.”

“I am aware about the fact that they have done projects. I also know that Bollywood stars have tried to break into the mainstream for many years now. But if you observe closely, none have really been successful in the true meaning of cross over,”

“It is also sad but true that some have been dropped by the biggest agencies in town. To make matters worse, some have starred in films that didn’t do well at the box office or have been critically slammed with negative reviews.”

When asked about Hrithik’s chances, the agent replies,

“As a publicist in Hollywood working with major motion picture studios, films and A-list stars, I have never seen an artist so close to perfect. Do I need to add anything more?”

“The icing on the cake is the fact that West has woken up the powerhouse of talent that Hrithik is after looking at the current crop of films he has done. Whilst Hollywood’s most credible trades call him “The Bankable Hrithik Roshan,” A-List Agents of the American Cinema consider him to be “the Sun and the Moon by himself”, which by itself shows yet again his reach and credibility”,

“Hrithik is still keeping the standards high and tries to concentrate on the priorities and current projects, Hollywood Executives believe him to be the future of Western films and even though he has not made any attempts to star in a Hollywood film, he still gets offers. Just wait and watch!”

“Some say, he is the next Tom Cruise, some call him the new Brad Pitt while some compare his class and stature to George Clooney. But Hrithik is all of the above and some more.”

I’ll assume this is just a joke… Because, if as the agent says, Hollywood see’s Hrithik Roshan as its future, than I can only assume Hollywood’s sees it’s future as an abode for below average actors, who go into random epileptic fits which they cover up under the guise of “dancing”.

Or maybe Hollywood sees it’s future as primarily a horror industry… So even in a terrible comedy you have to be horrified…

Or Maybe Hrithik’s agent is a liar.
