The film, slated to hit theatres on November 19, depicts the life of a magician who comes terms with his handicap after a magic trick goes wrong. "Guzaarish is a celebration of life and it was the paraplegics that I interacted with in preparation of the role that taught me to smile through the worst and see the positive in everything.
We're sure that the audience will pick up on that. It's a very inspiring story," Hrithik, who alongwith co-star Aishwarya Rai is in the city to promote the movie, told reporters.
Aishwarya, who made a second trip to the city following the premiere of her recently released 'Action Replayy', said that playing the nurse to Hrithik's character was a new "creative experience" for her.
"I knew this would be a new creative experience for me. Honestly, this is a story that needs to be told. It's a strong film and people will like it."
She also thanked Bhansali, who had earlier cast her as Paro in the modern version of 'Devdas', for giving her roles of substance that go beyond pretty faces.
