We have seen him fly across streets to save lives, pack a punch in jaw-dropping fight sequences, romance his ladylove to soft tunes, and show off his enviable dance moves, but what is Hrithik Roshan—the human being, like? Having spent close to 20 years in the movie business, he admits to being the “most resilient man in the universe”, and, at the same time, “has a naïve belief in magic”; probably why he comes out stronger post each adversity. Over to the star.
You have been part of action films before. Why does War stand out?
If it’s taken me five years to come back with an action film (his last release was Bang Bang, 2014), it means that something special about the film caught my eye. I love action as a genre, and was looking for something on the lines of Dhoom 2 and Bang Bang; but couldn’t find an intelligent script. Finally, I did with War.
Tell us about working with Tiger Shroff. He idolises you.
I am equally inspired by Tiger; one can learn a lot just by watching him. In fact, I had told Siddharth Anand (director, War) and Aditya Chopra that I would be open to doing the film only if Tiger is cast opposite me. I knew I would have to be at my best to be able to stand next to him; nothing less than that would do.
Super 30 is a box office success. Is the definition of a hero changing?
Personally, no. I have been part of films like Fiza (in which I played Karisma Kapoor’s brother), Guzaarish, and Kaabil, and I essayed a hero in the projects. There is no one kind that needs to be applauded. But yes, according to our social environment and our understanding of the Hindi cinematic hero, the definition has evolved for the better. Now, we are more accepting of our grey shades, and the ideal is an aspiration.
