Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif to star in remake of Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz's Knight And Day?
The buzz is that Hrithik Roshan has already signed up to play Tom Cruise's role in the Hindi version of the movie.
Bollywood hot-bod Hrithik Roshan is all set to do a Tom Cruise. The actor has been signed up to play the lead in Siddharth Anand's much-hyped official remake of Hollywood action comedy, Knight And Day.
While Hrithik's latest action avatar has been confirmed, the buzz on which actress will play the desi version of Cameron Diaz in the yet-to-be titled remake is gaining ground.
Trade sources reveal director Anand has approached Katrina Kaif, who's said to be excited about the project. However, vital dates required for the shoot clash with the dates Katrina would have to allot to Gunday, an upcoming Yash Raj Films production she has promised to do with her 'Rakhi brother' Arjun Kapoor.
Earlier reports had suggested that Anand, who made Salaam Namaste, Bachna Ae Haseeno and Anjana Anjani in the past, planned to make his next film with Shahid Kapoor. But Shahid's last two releases - Mausam and Teri Meri Kahaani - performed below expectations, and soon news did the rounds that Anand was planning a film with Hrithik.
There were also reports that Anand was planning a love story with Hrithik but it now turns out the filmmaker has some explosive action in store for the actor. Hrithik will start work on the Knight And Day remake immediately after wrapping up the upcoming Krrish sequel, being directed by his father Rakesh Roshan.
Knight And Day is a script that mixes heady action with romance and comedy. Fans would be happy to see some sizzling chemistry between Duggu and Kat, but Katrina has to confirm the project first.
