There’s a lot about Hrithik Roshan that hasn’t changed with the stardom he’s attained; his words are still truly heartfelt. even in a situation where he’s pressed for time, the actor makes sure that every thought of his is well explained. in a conversation with spriha srivastava, the green-eyed hunk talks about his journey from “finished” to “phenomenal”.
“Kites” is being hugely anticipated and expectations seem to be running sky high. Do such expectations make you nervous?
Yeah absolutely! But it’s exciting at the same time. Actually, this anxiety is very exciting.
Your life is perhaps the perfect example of ‘rising from the ashes’. During the time when your films were not faring well, what would you think was going wrong?
Nothing was going wrong. Every soul has its own journey and there’s no bad experience. Every experience is to help you find yourself more. As you go on experiencing, you go on shedding the layers around you. Every up and every down teaches you something and you start getting to know the real person inside you. That’s what I feel. And I believe that by breaking those layers one can eventually know who you are and live in peace with what you are.
And after that phase came your big-budget superhero films, the first of its kind in Bollywood. When the idea was discussed with you, what made you give a go-ahead for “Koi Mil Gaya” and “Krissh”?
It was because the idea sounded ridiculously challenging and was unheard of. It just looked like a leap in the right direction. You know, I just felt that if we conquer this, then it will be the most victorious thing ever done. It was an exhilarating feeling.
And it was not only victorious, but you and your dad Rakesh Roshan also raised the benchmark of Hindi cinema. How is the chemistry between you two?
Whatever I’ve learnt, I’ve learnt from my father; by being an assistant to him, watching him …He’s been the best example to help me find my drive and my passion. I’ve watched him through his ups and downs, I’ve watched him break down or get ecstatic… With him, I’ve experienced what life is like beyond the camera and the bright shining light (laughs).
Apart from your dad, you’ve worked with some of the best directors. How would you say is Anurag Basu different from other directors that you’ve worked with?
Anurag Basu is fantastic. I completely resonated with his vision. He has got a fantastic sense of screenplay. You know, he looks for those magical moments and doesn’t follow a rule book. He follows his heart. His attempt with “Kites” was to make an honest film. Just one example of that is that when my character had to sing for the girl, he wanted my voice. He did not go for a playback voice. That’s why it was a challenge and an opportunity to do a role like this. I feel all the work that I’ve done before “Kites” was to prepare me for a role like this. Working with actors like Kangana and Barbara Mori was also an opportunity because they come from the same school of thought as Anurag. I just had to watch and learn.
