Hrithik Roshan has upset his BEST FRIEND Farhan Akhtar's family. He had AGREED to do Farhan's sister, Zoya's directorial debut film, Kismet Talkies but now he has opted out of the film after keeping her hanging for 2 years.
A Bollywood source informs, "The Akhtars are naturally very upset with the Dhoom 2 star but are too dignified to be verbal about it. When he was first offered the film, he took a long time to say yes. Then with the superstardom which he achieved post Krrish and Dhoom 2, he approached them saying he would like to have certain suitable changes to be made in the script to fit his new larger than life, superhero image. He had also hinted at changing the heroine (Kareena Kapoor) opposite him." Zoya reworked (also taking dad Javed Akhtar's help) the complete script in a few months time and again went back to Hrithik, but also stood firm on her decision to cast Kareena in the film. Yet again the Jodhaa Akbar star wasted her time and did not give his final commitment. “Just last week he told both Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, who were going to produce this film, that he is not interested in the project anymore. Also, since the Jodhaa Akbar shoot has been postponed, his dates diary has gone awry. He wouldn't be able to adjust anything because Krish 2 is scheduled to follow, going on the sets soon," adds the source. A very close source to Hrithik admits, "He will not be working in Zoya Akhtar's Kismat Talkies. He had liked the script, post the changes but the role was appearing more mature than his age. All these dates which he had in mind to allot to Zoya's film will now be given to dad, Rakesh Roshan's Krrish sequel. He and Farhan know each other too well and have done Lakshya together so Farhan we are sure will understand it and not hold any grudges against him."
