Hrithik eager to show 'Agneepath' to Big B

If Hrithik Roshan is eagerly awaiting the release of 'Agneepath', he is equally keen to show the film to the original Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, Amitabh Bachchan.

"I think once the film is ready for previews, he will be the first person we will call," said Hrithik who reprises Amitabh's role in the 'Agneepath' remake. The original, directed by Mukul Anand, came in 1990 and Big B had won a national award for his performance in the movie.

While the original 'Agneepath' was produced by Yash Johar, the remake is being financed by the late filmmaker's son, Karan Johar.

At the same time, he is also excited about Sanjay Dutt's villainous role in the action thriller and claims that Kancha Cheena will be the next big villain in Bollywood.

"If you are an actor, you want to do all kind of roles. Kancha is one of the best roles and also one of the best performed roles. There was one Gabbar Singh, there was one Mogambo and now one Kancha Cheena," the 38-year-old said at a promotional event.

Hrithik also said that this remake of the original 1990 film may not be as stylish as the original, but is definitely entertaining.

"'Agneepath' is a very simple and a hard-hitting film. I have seen the film, so I can say that it is quite entertaining," he said.

Besides promoting Karan Malhotra-directed 'Agneepath', which releases January 26, Hrithik is also working hard on his fitness for his father's 'Krrish 2'.

Abhishek has crossed 1 million follower mark on Twitter

Abhishek is apparently ecstatic about this as he really likes talking to his fans and followers. He recently tweeted, “1 million!!!! wow! thank you to the coolest crew in the world. Thank you for the love and support. NOW PLAY SOMETHING LOUD!!!!”

Interestingly, he is far behind his father, actor Amitabh Bachchan, who holds the top position on the micro-blogging site with 1,912,800 followers and 11,285 tweets. Coming a close second is actress Priyanka Chopra, who was initially first on the list with 1,886,529 followers and 5,719 tweets.

Actor Abhishek Bachchan’s bio on Twitter reads, “Actor... Well at least some say so!” While this may or may not be agreeable to all, the actor definitely is more popular than a lot of other actors in B-Town. Abhi recently became the latest celebrity to have crossed the one million follower mark on Twitter. The actor is quite active on the micro-blogging site and in between breaks during his shooting schedules, he is often spotted chatting up with his fans over Twitter. He even broke the news of his daughter being born on Twitter. On the last count, Abhishek has 1,008,643 followers and 14,406 tweets.

Unlike most celebrities who do not take criticism too well, Abhishek is all game for the brickbats that come his way. He explains, “If I have 20 lakh followers, 15 may be my fans and five could be following me because they want to criticize. I do not mind criticism. When you are in the public eye, you must be open to both, good and bad coming your way. If you are working towards being famous and then when you finally achieve it, you cannot step out wearing sunglasses. As an actor, you cannot be just receiving compliments.”

He also admits that he is hooked to Twitter, each time he gets a couple of hours off. “When I am in my car, I do a question answer round with my fans. Twitter is a very effective medium to interact personally with your fans. I love it.”
