Hrithik Roshan can't thank Shah Rukh enough

Shah Rukh Khan went out of his way to accommodate the Roshans by shooting an item song for their production Krazzy 4,
and Hrithik can't thank the busy Khan enough.
"I'm doing the song for my own home production. But Shah has gone out of his way to accommodate the project because he
respects dad. His gesture has touched all of us. It's very kind of him. He doesn't need to dance."
Hrithik can't stop raving about the item song. "It's the best dance track I've ever performed. My uncle Rajesh Roshan has outdone
himself. And Vishal Dadlani who has sung the number has also been extremely gracious. He didn't accept the cheque that my dad
gave him after the song. He did it for my dad and uncle. As a family we Roshans are overwhelmed by the respect that has been
shown by everyone associated with the item song."
Tell him it's because of the respect his dad's banner commands and Hrithik corrects me. "No I think it's more to do with the kind of
person my father is. If he wasn't the person he is, Shah Rukh, Vishal and everyone else wouldn't have gone out of their way to
accommodate us, no matter how successful we may be. I think my dad has earned the respect he gets. He doesn't command it."
Hrithik further informs, "Shah Rukh's version of the song will be part of the main movie, while mine will be used in the end titles,
also on MTV, Channel V and other promotional campaigns for television."
The triumphant Jodhaa Akbar behind him Hrithik is now looking forward to starting his next film with Anurag Basu. "That's
one film I'm really looking forward to. I'm a big fan of Anurag's cinema. I think he's a very sensitive director. He's really going to be
doing something different with me. I can't say much about the subject. But it will be a different experience for me, though
something right up his alley."
The industry was abuzz about Sonam Kapoor being Hrithik's leading lady in Anurag's film. "Both Dad and I think Sonam is
wonderful. But she was never considered for Anurag's film. The role requires someone from abroad. So yeah, I'll have an
international co-star in Anurag's film."
Hrithik and Aishwarya looked pretty international in Dhoom 2 and Jodhaa-Akbar. "I can't dispute that. It's so true.
Ash and I share a fabulous rapport. It's always fun to work with a co-star who isn't selfish. We both gave so much of ourselves to
Jodhaa Akbar. Aishwarya has been one of my most helpful co-stars. I really cherish working with her. She is an incredible
actor and an even better co-star. And since all three of us-Abhishek, Aishwarya and I-are friends; we've great fun even when not
shooting."
Hrithik craves for the perfect chemistry with his co-star. "I don't think it's possible for me to give my best if my co-star isn't doing
the same. I try to surround myself with like-minded people. And I think I've found the right people operating at my frequency to
work it, be it Ashutosh Gowariker, Sanjay Gadhvi, Aditya Chopra or my dad. I'm fortunate, I guess."
