Hrithik's best friend Shah Rukh Proud of Guzaarish

Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan are thick friends and are always happy about each other’s work. On Friday night, SRK watched Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish with his close family and friends; he was so impressed and moved by the film, that he woke Hrithik out of slumber and made him drive down to his bungalow Mannat.

Just recovered from a viral attack, Hrithik didn’t mind it, and drove down to Mannat, where Suzanne was also perched with SRK’s wife Gauri. Shah Rukh and Hrithik discussed Guzaarish and Hrithik's performance until 2 am.

Says a source, "Shah Rukh had asked for a print of Guzaarish because he's very fond of Hrithik. Also because Shah Rukh had played a physically challenged character in My Name Is Khan. He was curious to see how Hrithik had approached the character of a physically disabled hero. What started as profession inquisitiveness turned into a complete involvement with the onscreen goings-on. Shah Rukh felt Hrithik in Guzaarish excelled his own performance in My Name Is Khan.Shah Rukh also feels Guzaarish was way superior to what the director Sanjay Bhansali had achieved with Shah Rukh in Devdas."

Says Hrithik, "In fact Sussanne was already at Mannat. When Shah Rukh wanted me to go over I had no choice. He's always very generous."

Isn’t it rare for a collegue to be so proud of another’s performance when even he had given an equally wonderful performance in the same year, in the same genre!
