Mumbai, Feb. 8 -- My dhobi is not done yet. Now he wants me to hear about Hrithik Roshan, whose sculpted physique is a hot topic of discussion saat samundar paar in the US.

Some Nandana Bose, an assistant professor, department of film studies, University of North Calorlina is writing a chapter on an academic book on Indian cinema about the representation of the star body over the decades, with the decisive change the male body has been presented on screen.

Apparently, she observes that Roshan's role in this change is that, since his debut in Kaho Naa.. Pyaar Hai over a decade ago, he has raised the bar for the Hindi film hero in terms of physical fitness, dancing skills and the ability to transfigure his body almost at will. Apna Duggu dude has been looking hotter and even more desirable by women, and inspired the men to emulate his fitness with every film.

However, my dhobi suggests waiting till Krissh 2 starts, because if his last superhero look is any indication, then the next one is going to set the mercury rising!
