Hrithik to walk with Sean Penn

Come January, at the International Dubai Film Festival, the two superstars will walk the red carpet together

The box-office collections for Guzaarish notwithstanding, Hrithik Roshan is on a brand new high.

The actor is all set to walk the red carpet with none other than two times Academy Award winner, Sean Penn. On January 12, 2011, the two actors will walk together at the International Dubai Film Festival. You can imagine what a treat it will be for the onlookers there.

Unfortunately it may not be entirely smooth sailing for Hrithik because his dates are stuck with Zoya Akhtar for the film Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara. The actor is trying his level best to take a break from the shooting schedule to be a part of the festival in Dubai.

A close friend of Hrithik's said, "It is a huge honour for Hrithik and this will be the first time an Indian actor will walk the ramp at such a prestigious festival. Hrithik is probably the only actor who has managed to reach this stage.

Hrithik has submitted his dates to Zoya's film and is in the process of requesting her to give him a couple of days off, so he can walk the ramp with Sean Penn."

Confirming the story, Hrithik Roshan said, "Yes, it is true. I am currently trying to work out my scheduled so I can attend this festival." Come on, Zoya!
