Hrithik to get a fresh beauty

With the artistically brilliant Hrithik and Aishwariya starrer Guzaarish still creating a successful impact on the Indian audience, Hrithik Roshan seems to be (happily) overwhelmed by all the critical acclaim coming his way. Now Duggu is supposedly eager to deliver yet another powerful performance in Daddy Roshan's forthcoming superhero flick, Krrish 3, another sequel in the line of this Roshan home production series, which shall witness a new face, as per formal announcements from the filmmakers.

Krrish 3 shall become the third directorial in the vastly popular trilogy series which hit the box office with Koi Mil Gaya in 2003, India's first science fiction movie, creating waves across the entire nation.

After roping in Mexican beauty, Barbara Mori for the mega budgeted and hugely talked about Kites, Papa Roshan is all set to cast yet another fresh leading lady opposite his son. Sources claim Roshan has zeroed in Lakshmi Manchu, daughter of Telugu superstar, Mohan Babu, to play Hrithik's next love interest on camera.

Lakshmi Manchu recently made her Telugu debut in Anaganaga O Dheerudu, where she played a negative character. The pretty lass has also featured in popular American sitcoms. Gossip birdies reveal the same role was initially offered to Kangna Ranaut, who incidentally essayed a love struck salsa student opposite Hrithik in Kites. However, talks with Ranaut couldn't materialize.

While Barbara and Hrithik sizzled in Kites, will this new Telugu beauty be able to incite the same chemistry with Bollywood's gorgeous hunk in Krrish 3? Time, the teller of all tales, shall tell!
