Is Harman the new Hrithik Roshan?

http://www.extramirchi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/hrithik-roshan-vogue-coverboy.jpg
They look the same, dance the same, share the same height and their names begin with H.

Is it any wonder that Harman Baweja is being called the new Hrithik Roshan. The similarities do not end there. They have each been introduced to the industry by their fathers and, remarkably, Harman’s promotional shots and debut movie moves mimic Hrithik’s in a manner that makes it impossible to tell them apart.

But Harman’s not riding on the lookalike wave — he’s not too happy about being called the new Hrithik and girlfriend Priyanka has apparently made him change his wardrobe so he can be seen as his own man.

Harman’s laying the blame for this resemblance to Hrithik squarely on his parents. “If I resemble somebody, it’s not my fault. My mom and dad have done that. I have not done any plastic surgery to get those looks. I believe every newcomer will be compared [to somebody else],” he said practically.

In fact, both Harman and Priyanka seem to have coordinated their responses, saying that every newcomer faces being compared.

Priyanka has reportedly said that this is the done thing in Bollywood, pointing out that Shahid Kapur was compared to Shah Rukh, while Shah Rukh himself was compared to Dilip Kumar. But has Priyanka not noticed how many things in common Hrithik and Harman have?

Their toned but lean build, the light-coloured eyes, sharp jawlines and aquiline features? Then Harman’s launch song Milo na milo from Love Story 2050 sounds like Hrithik’s Dil mera har baar yeh from Kaho Na… Pyaar Hai while his dance moves in the video look like those of Hrithik’s Main aisa kyun hoon from Lakshya.

The movie’s costume designer, Theia commented on the similarities: “Harman’s excellent dancing ability is another reason for him to be compared to Hrithik. We were quite surprised that they look so similar... Harman indeed looks like Hrithik.”

One person who is not able to brush off the resemblance is dad Harry Baweja who finds the comparison uncalled for.

According to him, it's not right to compare Harman to Hrithik because Hrithik is far ahead, and his son deserves the same time to prove himself. Movie double Even the promotional posters of Harman’s Love Story look like those of Hrithik’s debut Kaho Na... Pyaar Hai.

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...

'I have no heartfelt desire to work with SRK’: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor maintains he never said he was desperate to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, but admitted he would love to work with the superstar if a good project came his way. “I had no such dil ki tamanna (heartfelt desire) to work with Shah Rukh sir. But I respect him a lot. I am a big fan of him,” Ranbir told reporters on the margins of the HT Leadership Summit here Friday. The 28-year-old, who was here with his father, evergreen star Rishi Kapoor, says a superstar’s presence in a project isn’t reason enough for him to accept it. “It’s not that if a superstar will be there in a film, I’ll agree to do it. But if I like a film, I like its script, I would be more than glad to do it,” he added. Nevertheless, Ranbir enjoys the attention he gets from the youth.
