The remake of Hollywood action comedy ‘Knight and Day’ is all-set to hit cinemas October 2nd. Featuring the sizzling duo Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif, the film will be the pair’s second leading appearance after Zoya Akhtar’s smash-hit ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’.
The couple’s onscreen chemistry is sure to heat things up, when the movie hits theaters at the beginning of next month. A teaser to the film shows the two on a motorcycle performing a rather sexy stunt. Hunky Hrithik whirls around pillion riding Kat to the front of the bike before demanding she ‘unzip’ him… The green-eyed superstar orders his passenger to unzip (his jacket), pull out (his gun) and shoot (the bad guys)..! What were you fantasizing about?
The hotly-anticipated blockbuster has already generated a lot of buzz; so much so that Hrithik Roshan reportedly turned down an offer from Salman Khan to be promoted on the reality hit TV show Bigg Boss: Season 8. According to IndianExpress, a source close to the industry said, “the Bigg Boss’ team had approached the team of ‘Bang Bang’ to promote their film during the launch of ‘Bigg Boss’ show, but the ‘Bang Bang’ team politely refused”.
Instead ‘Krrish’ has been using a somewhat more innovative approach, promoting the film via a series of tweets that dare celebrities to take on various fitness challenges; the #bangbangdarechallenge has been tweeted to the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Bollywood fashionista Sonam Kapoor.
Hrithik also reportedly sustained a head injury while shooting the first leg in Thailand. He later underwent brain surgery to remove an unattended, two-month-old blood clot that had developed due to the accident.
Though commercially successful, the Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz-starrer ‘Knight and Day’ opened to average reviews. Let’s hope this Bollywood do-over does a better job at entertaining this pair’s voracious fan base.
