Sunaina Roshan’s birthday bash was a ricking affair where the close pals of Hrithik Roshan from the film fraternity came to adorn the party and wished the birthday lady. The entire family of Roshans was there at the glittering event. The party was held at a party hall. Around two weeks back, Hrithik Roshan made the celebration of his birthday and now it is the time for the sister to make the celebrations.

Hrithik was looking dashing with wife Sussane Roshan. Kangana, who is Hrithik’s pal and is also working with Roshans in Krrish 3, came getting wrapped up with a ritzy outfit. She came with her sister Rangoli who often accompanies the babe wherever she goes to attend the parties or whatsoever.

Kunal Kapoor, another friend of Hrithik, specially came in. He and other pals enjoyed the bash fully. Sunaina wore a red gown and was looking sexy. Rakesh Roshan and Pinky Roshan, parents, and her uncle Rajesh Roshan also came to add sparkles to the event.

Hrithik is these days looking for his upcoming Agneepath which is all set to release by next week. He is playing Vijay Deenanath Chauhan in this film, the character Amitabh Bachchan had played in the original Agneepath made in 90s by Karan Johar’s late father Yash Johar. Sanjay Dutt plays the main villain in the film and Sanju’s character is much in talks due to his bald looks. It is hoped that Agneepath will be a hit since Karan Johar has made it already popular with the item number ‘Chikni Chameli’.

 

Ekk Deewana Tha has been making bigger waves in the media and it has really created quite a buzz that the masses are getting attracted towards the movie and the wait for the release has started off. The speculations were high in the air for the romantic recent past of the leading stars of the movie – Prateik and Amy Jackson.

Now both have done an intimate photo shoot where both seem not to be affected by their past at all rather they looked quite intimate during the shoot. The photo shoot was done for the Lawman Jeans where the two depicted the true intimacy while they cuddled passionately to each other, exchanged smiles and very sensuously looked at each other. The chemistry between the two were amazingly ritzy. In one of the pictures, Prateik lifted Jackson in his arms and while he was lifting her, he was constantly looking into her eyes sensuously.

The movie, directed by Gautam Menon, has been chewing up bigger news since it was previously made in two versions – the original Tamil and then Telugu. Gautam interestingly has been the director of all the three versions of the flick. A R Rahman too has been going on with the music of the film, he gave his composition in all three versions. Ekk Deewana Tha has been scored tremendously well and Rahman’s musical score got good reviews by the critics. The movie is all set to hit the theaters by next month. Let’s wait the release. Both Prateik and Amy are adamant for the success of the movie.
