New Delhi, Nov 07: With big films crashing at the box-office, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Hrithik Roshan, Manisha Koirala, Karisma Kapoor and Aamir Khan have slashed their workload and taken time off from their hectic schedules to chase dreams of a different kind. Apart from a movie for buddy Karan Johar, SRK, riding high on the Devdas-wave, has taken a brief sabbatical to spend time with his family and write his autobiography.
Karisma Kapoor has signed up with Sahara TV for an ambitious show, Charisma –The Miracle. “After 12 years in Bollywood, television is a good alternative,” she explains.
Aamir Khan has agreed to do Ketan Mehta’s The Uprising, based on the 1857 rebellion. “Aamir will be convincing as Mangal Pandey. He is sensible not to have fallen prey to Bollywood’s number game,” feels Mehta.


Having wrapped up Dil Ka Rishta, her home production, Aishwarya Rai is testing waters in Hollywood. Bollywood’s most persecuted one, Hrithik Roshan is focusing on Sooraj Barjatya’s Main To Hoon Prem Diwani and Rakesh Roshan’s Koi Mil Gaya. Farhan Akhtar’s Lakshya will take off later next year. Hrithik’s once busy date diary is pretty empty next year apart from some show commitments.
It is okay to chase dreams when you aren’t deluged with great films. But can the bored and beautiful people of Bollywood afford to take it easy if a really ‘meaty’ role comes by?
