Hrithik Roshan, who plays a magician in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish, learnt several magic tricks but on screen he will enthrall the audience with seven tricks –– the magical ball, the paper trick, candle act, fire in his hand, cutting a lady, levitation and pulling endless cloth.
“Hrithik is an extremely observant and quick learner. Still he had to invest a lot of time on perfecting the magic acts taught by a professional, researching about magicians, their lives and understanding illusion, as it was something very new for him. And mostly all this was done on the sets,” said a unit member of the film.
And watching him perform magic made every one on the set smile and applaud. “Once Suzanne walked onto the set when Hrithik was performing. She watched the entire act on the monitor
and was so touched and moved by the beauty and lyricism of magic unfolding right in front of her eyes that tears started rolling down her eyes. Hrithik hugged her and had to console her,” continued the source adding, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali would also be present when he was rehearsing and together they would improvise and experiment.”
According to the production team there was nothing that Hrithik found difficult to learn and picked up all the tricks pretty fast, sometimes to the amazement of the trainer magician himself.
“All the tricks in the film are grand and unseen and their visual quality will enthrall not only the youngsters but every person in the theatre
. And each act is woven in the storyline and will give the audience more insight into Hrithik’s character,” revealed the source.
When asked if he can still perform any tricks, Hrithik laughed with a twinkle in his eye. “I can do the card-trick where the entire pack vanishes and can pull out endless cloth,” he said.
In fact, magic was something everyone wanted to learn at the set and it is heard that even Aishwarya could not resist it and learned couple of tricks!

Hrithik for a cameo in SRK’s Don 2: While alongside Aishwarya Rai, Hrithik Roshan may be sniffing butterflies in the stomach for the upcoming magnum opus ‘Guzaarish’, the grapevine has it that he is also shooting for a cameo in Shahrukh Khan starrer ‘Don 2’.
That is precisely why he is currently stationed in the German capital of Berlin. It was being speculated that he is there to celebrate SRK’s birthday which falls on 2nd November. But looks like the real reason is being kept a secretive affair!
Don 2 is directed by Farhan Akhtar and is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani. Hrithik is buddies with both having worked in their ‘Lakshya’. Besides, Hrithik is also doing Farhan’s sis Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ which also stars the vivacious Katrina Kaif. Hence, it is understandable that when Farhan requested Hrithik for a cameo in Don 2, he couldn’t refuse.
And it is apparently a great ploy to bring the SRK-Hrithik duo on screen again after they brewed great riveting chemistry in ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’. Besides, since Don 2 is replete with daredevil scenes, it would be interesting to see if the hunky Hrithik gives SRK a run for his money.

Guzaarish song promo ‘Tera Zikr’: Sanjay Leela Bhansali has got an eye for beauty; we admit that one of India’s top ramp models Monikangana Dutta was the perfect choice to cast opposite Hrithik Roshan. The film Guzaarish is not only about Aishwarya Rai; the movie’s canvas has also this Assamese girl, who has created waves with her oriental charm on several fashion weeks in India and abroad, looking beautiful like never before.
