Hrithik Has A Ball; Flies Through Air Despite Painful Knee!

A painful knee injury. Eight to ten days of rehearsals. And an ethereally lyrical song number which required Hrithik Roshan to fly through the air for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Guzaarish.'

Choreographer Ashley Lobo was highly skeptical whether Hrithik, unarguably one of the best dancers in cinedom, would be able to pull it off.

States Lobo in a media quote, "It almost seemed like an impossible task. But Hrithik is a very courageous actor. Although, he could not bend his knees at right angles, there he was on and off the dance floor? and flying? in what seemed like an impossible miracle. I guess if you can free your mind, it frees your body too."

To complicate matters further, Hrithik's partner in moves? was a ball! And it seemed to have a mind of its own too.

Laughs Lobo, "The ball would bounce off in a totally different direction! But Hrithik is a very focussed person and soon he was controlling the ball with magical precision."
