All of Bollywood seems more anxious about Hrithik's next project than the perfectionist himself who's "just chilling out, catching up on reading, meeting producers, reading scripts". What remains unmentioned are the dozens of hopeful producers who are being shown the door every week.

Having said no to Shaad Ali's "Bunty Aur Babli" earlier this year, Hrithik is also not doing dress designer Manish Malhotra's film, which so far has Akshay Kumar and Vivek Oberoi in the final cast.

"I don't mind not working until I find the one script that really turns me on," says Hrithik.
