Hrithik Roshan gets an entry in NASA


Hindi films and foreign locations have always gone hand in hand be it Switzerland or Australia or for that matter the US. But for some reasons our stories have never really had any elements that would require the premises of world's premiere space research organization NASA, except one – Swades.

That's the reason we were pretty excited when sources revealed that Rakesh Roshan was on a recce in the States and has approached NASA to shoot his next film there. "Rakesh Roshan is in the States, he has been on a location hunt. And the news is that he has approached NASA and they have approved his request to let him shoot there," says a source close to his camp.

When we tried reaching Rakesh Roshan he did approve that he is indeed in the US. "I am in LA right now and will return only by 29 February," reads his SMS. However, the director - producer sent an outright denial to our query on the NASA progress. "They are false rumours," he said, claming he never really approached the organization.

It must be noted that if Rakesh had got the permission, Hrithik would have been the second hero to shoot there after Shah Rukh Khan, who played Mohan Bhargav, a NASA project manager in Ashutosh Gowariker's Swades. Hrithik, in the mean time, is readying up to play the lead in Anurag Basu's 'international' project, the lead actress for which is yet to be finalised.
