It is learnt that the real reason for the actor's refusal is that now he only wants to star in films that are co-produced under his home banner Film Kraft
Hrithik Roshan has apparently fallen out of favour with the Yash Raj banner. If sources are to be believed, Hrithik refused to be a part of Aditya Chopra's next. This is not the new film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi starring Shah Rukh Khan, announced on Friday, but another project which Aditya was contemplating.
An industry insider reveals, "Hrithik has decided not to be a part of Aditya Chopra's project. Adi had a film in mind that was to be a two-hero project. Aditya wanted Shah Rukh and Hrithik for it."
The source continues, "When Adi approached Hrithik, he declined the offer and gave him the clichéd reason of having a date problem. This was because he starts shooting for Anurag Basu's film in March and Adi wanted his dates from May itself."
However, it is learnt that the real reason for the actor's refusal is that now he only wants to star in films that are co-produced under his home banner Film Kraft.
Continues the source, "All directors going for script narrations get the standard line of 'why don't you make this film for my dad's banner'. Even the film Anurag Basu is making with Hrithik is a co-production between UTV, Basu and Film Kraft."
A source at Yash Raj who wanted to remain anonymous said, "Because of Hrithik not doing the film, Aditya scrapped the project. Now he will just be concentrating on Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi with Shah Rukh and a new girl, as Adi has as many as three scripts sitting with him at the moment."
Rakesh Roshan remained unavailable for comment.

Aditya Chopra to direct again
Eight years after he directed Mohabbatein, Aditya Chopra [Images] will helm another film. Titled Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, the film will star his lucky mascot, Shah Rukh Khan.
The female lead will be a newcomer, to be chosen by a talent hunt competition.
Aditya, the man made the most successful film in Hindi cinema, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, took a break from direction to establish the Yash Raj studio in Mumbai. He went on to produce many hits like Dhoom, Dhoom: 2, Hum Tum , Bunty Aur Babli , Salaam Namaste and Chak De! India.
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi will be produced by Yash Chopra and scripted by Aditya. The shooting will commence in May, and the film is likely to release at the end of this year.

Aditya Chopra to direct Rani Mukherjee?
If the latest tinsel tattle is to be believed, Aditya Chopra will direct a film for home banner Yashraj Films this year.2007 was the worst year for YRF in recent history, with only one film ( Chak De India ) of their five productions turning out to be a hit. And to bail his production house out of this mess, it is Aditya Chopra himself who is learnt to be gearing up to return to direction after a long gap of eight years.
Aditya made his directorial debut with Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge , which turned out to be one of the top blockbusters ever in the Hindi film industry. He made his second film Mohabattein in 1999. The film, however, could not repeat the success of Chopra’s first movie.Now, Chopra is reported to be working on the script of a film, which he will direct later this year.
Expectedly, Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukherjee are topmost on Chopra’s wishlist for this film. Incidentally, this would be the first time Aditya will direct Rani.
Reports say Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta are also being considered for the film.The yet-untitled movie will go on the floors in the middle of this year. If things go as planned, it should make it to the theatres by the end of this

ADI without SRK !!!
by Saurav Mittra
After a seven-year break, Aditya Chopra is going to direct his next venture from September. And the surprise news is he is directing without his most favorite King Khan. Aditya's past all ventures had SRK in the lead role. The yet untitled venture will feature Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan.
Sources from the Yash Raj confirm "Aditya has already started working on pre-productions plans for the movie. Rani Mukherjee and Preity ZInta have been considered for lead roles. This will be Yash Raj's costliest venture till date, with Aditya himself penning down the story. Lot of Foreign crew being hired for directing action sequences." The movie will hit the floor from September onwards.
