MUMBAI: Actor Hrithik Roshan said it is too early to comment on who will be the lead actress in his forthcoming film “Krrish 4”, as the makers are currently working on the script.
In “Krrish”, Priyanka Chopra starred opposite Hrithik while “Krrish 3” featured the duo along with Kangana Ranaut.
There were reports that this time the “Kaabil” actor wanted the female lead to be on the lines of “Wonder Woman”, and names of Chopra and Deepika Paduone were doing the rounds.
Asked about the female lead, Hrithik told reporters, “We are working on the script right now. We haven’t reached that stage.”
Hrithik was speaking at the trailer launch of designer-turned-director Vikram Phadnis’ Marathi film “Hrudayantar”, last night.
Actress Mukta Barve, who was present at the event, quipped, “I heard there will be a Marathi heroine.”
To this, Hrithik replied, “I will take that into consideration.”
Hrithik has a guest appearance in “Hrudayantar”. The actor said it was Vikram’s passion towards the project which made him do it.
“This film has been motivated by Vikram alone. His vision has motivated all of us here. I would not have even considered deviating from what I was doing in my life at that point when Vikram approached me, if it had not been for his incredible vision and clarity,” he said.
Asked if he would be keen on doing more Marathi projects, both as an actor and producer, the 43-year-old star said, “The impact of this has been so amazing, I think it’s going to be difficult for anybody to impress me as much as this one. If it does, then definitely.”
Presented by T-Series and produced by Young Berry Entertainment, Imtiaz Khatri and Vikram Phadnis Productions in association with Toabh Entertainment, the drama features popular Marathi actors Subodh Bhave, Mukta, Sonali Khare among others. (AGENCIES)

Indian hockey team heads to Germany for invitational tourney
BENGALURU, May 29:
Aiming to hit peak form in next month’s Hockey World League Semi Final, the Indian team today left for a three-nation invitational tournament in Germany starting June 1.
The 18-member squad, led by Manpreet Singh, left from the Kempegowda International Airport in the wee hours this morning after a two-week national camp at the Sports Authority of India campus here.
At the tournament in Dusseldorf, India will play two matches each against Germany and Belgium.
“Playing top teams like Germany and Belgium (both Rio Olympic Medalists), will help us a lot ahead of the Hero Hockey World League Semi Final (Men),” stated Manpreet ahead of the departure.
“If we play well against them, we will gain a lot of confidence and it will give us a little more time to make minor changes in our game and iron out any mistake. We will be able to assess our performance and get ready for the bigger challenge in London,” he added.
Right after the invitational tournament, the team will arrive in London on June 9 for the Hero Hockey World League Semi Final (Men) where it will play practice matches against Olympic Gold Medalists Argentina and Great Britain.
“We always take practice matches seriously because doing well in a practice match means gaining the required momentum for the start of the tournament. We will also get the feel of the pitch to get a good sense of how to take penalty corners.” said the 24-year-old Manpreet.
India will play their first match against Scotland (June 15), followed by Canada (June 17), Pakistan (June 18) and the Netherlands (June 20) in the pool stage.
“We cannot single out any one team as a tough team to beat because every team will play their best considering this is a prestigious tournament and also a World Cup qualifier.
“We cannot take any team lightly and our aim will be to start on a winning note and earn those three points,” he added. (AGENCIES)
