Hrithik Roshan: 'Life for me is about fears mashed with excitement'
Hrithik Roshan says he has been pushing himself as an artist
September 29, 2019
Bollywood hunk Hrithik Roshan, who is often called the “Greek God of Bollywood” recently made a startling revelation regarding his selection criteria for the avatars he steps into.
He may have defined impeccably the role of the quintessential Bollywood hero, but the 45-year-old ‘Super 30’ star says he has been pushing himself as an artist with atypical choices since the beginning of his career.
Hrithik, who touched the heights of stardom with his very first film ‘Kaho Na Pyaar Hai’, surprised his fans by doing off-beat films.
In an interview with an Indian agency, PTI, the ‘War’ star opened up about how he has always looked for characters which have the power to “transform him and bend into something better”.
“I only look to find a movie where I can juice out my entire potential. I like to be in spaces where I am pushed to the edge. The struggle and search to find your edge, how far can I lean over my edge and still survive that is what I continuously do.
“True joy is when you live on the edge. The adrenaline rush, the insecurity, the fears mashed with the excitement is what life should be about,” he remarked.
Roshan says from playing a mentally disabled man in ‘Koi Mil Gaya’, to a paraplegic in ‘Guzaarish’, a Mughal emperor Akbar in ‘Jodhaa Akbar’, a visually-impaired man out for revenge in ‘Kaabil’ to a mathematician in ‘Super 30’, he has always tried opting for the characters that can impact him personally.
“When I did Akbar, it impacted me. It excited me that I really went into it. Similarly the characters in ‘Koi Mil Gaya’, ‘Super 30’, ‘Kaabil’, impacted me. It depends on how much impact the character has made on me,” he said.
The superhero ‘Krrish’ further added, “I have also done films way in the past, where they had set-model characters and I have enjoyed doing that as well. But it doesn’t become worth remembering. I hope to keep finding roles that impact me.”
Currently, the actor is anticipating the release of the biggest action entertainer of the year ‘War’ co-starring Tiger Shroff, which is scheduled to hit the silver screens on October 2.
