Ace Bollywood film producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali said that he always desired to work with multi-talented actor Hrithik Roshan.

This time, the master filmmaker has done what he actually wanted.

Bhansali has signed Hrithik Roshan and his most-favored actress - Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the lead roles in his upcoming film.

Both Ash and Hrithik have already created wonders together in ‘Dhoom-2’ and ‘Jodhaa Akbar’.

While talking about Hrithik, Bhansali said, “Hrithik and I wanted to work together for a very long time. I've always been impressed by his sincerity as an actor. I was waiting for the right opportunity to sign him. Working with Hrithik would be a new and rewarding experience.”

The master filmmaker also admitted that Ash is ‘very special’ to him, after having worked with her in two blockbusters ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’  in 1999 and ‘Devdas’ in 2002.

Talking about Aishwarya, the filmmaker said, “Aishwarya is very special to me. She suits the role in my new film to perfection. When she read the script she was deeply moved.”

Bhansali also said rubbished reports that he had signed up a Pakistani actor Imran Abbas for his upcoming venture.

“I haven’t signed anyone called Imran Abbas. I'm not making ‘Heera Mandi’ right now...I met him almost a year ago, but I immediately realised he wasn't the actor I was looking for. Just because I don't speak out, people take advantage of my silence.”

He also stated that he is really proud of his ‘Saawariya’, which failed to set box office afire.

“It’s my rarest work in terms of treatment,” he added.
