What did Hrithik Roshan do on Holi?

Not much, apparently.

With wife Suzanne and a few friends in tow, Hrithik zipped off to Madh Island, Bombay, to celebrate a quiet festival of colours, away from fans and the film industry.

If Saturday was Holi, Sunday was Navratri for Hrithik.

He is shooting for Mohan Kumar's Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage, at a 17-day schedule at Mehboob Studios, part of which is a Navratri song.

Penned by Dev Kohli and composed by Rajesh Roshan, Ori gori chaloji chori chori, piya ke milan rut aayee re, is an item song, sung by Udit Narayan and Pamela.

The eight-minute song, picturised on Hrithik Roshan and Amisha Patel and choreographed by Raju Khan, involves several costume changes -- it is spread over the nine nights of dandiya raas. Hrithik's costumes are designed by Rocky S.

Producer Gautam Kumar is confident that the song will be a major highlight in the film. "The current schedule involves shooting a major portion of the first half of the film. The way things are going, we are sure we'll complete the film in time for a Diwali release this year."

This means that it will be Hrithik's second release this year, after Subhash Ghai's Yaadein, which will premiere on July 27.

His third release this year will be Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gam, slated for a December 14 opening.

Incidentally, Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage is the only film which pairs the Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai stars together again.
