Hrithik Roshan on being an onscreen superhero
The actor reveals despite having attained stardom, he believes in leaving it outside his doorstep
Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Krrish 3’ is set for a worldwide release on Diwali. The actor reveals about his expectations from the third installment of his superhero franchise and how he believes in keeping his super stardom status outside his doorstep.
What are your expectations from ‘Krrish 3’?
The reactions have been very good. There have been assuring reactions, this makes us feel that we are on the right track, because such films outcome can go both ways. The special effect can be scary. But people are comparing it to Hollywood films. We are having a feeling that we are going to make it. Almost getting 17 billions reactions after our promo was released make us confident that people are waiting impatiently to watch ‘Krrish 3’. With this film, India is surely going to cross the boundaries and will open market for Indian films. Everything is looking good. We are indeed hopeful.
What about emotions over ruling special effects in the film?
Emotions have always been important in the films of my father Rakesh Roshan. Krishna’s story was that of a simple mountain boy, a simple boy born to Rohit out of love. It is the story of grandmother and the grandchild. Rohit is the hero of the film because from ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ to ‘Krrish 3’, all the emotions are associated to Rohit. The progression of Krishna going onto the super hero makes this film a fully-fledged science fiction.
However, some people may yet like the simplicity of the simpleton Krishna. This film is more about the story and less about the special effect. But every hand is being associated to the first homegrown special effect film the character, which is a combination of a child and father is indeed very challenging. Rohit’s character is indeed the most vulnerable. After seven years when I was to do this character of ‘Krrish’, I refreshed the walk, the talk etc. This was very challenging for me. However the special effect is just the decoration in the film but with this kind of special effect all our actors will get motivation and we will not have to look towards Hollywood. We will have all these facilities at home.
What are the challenges that you faced?
My own experience, I decided that if I can rise once why not second time. I have fallen and risen many a times in life right from my childhood days. I have not had a good childhood. I have so many points. Children in school would mock me and I would come home crying. I could not go to school because I had rheumatism in my knees and thus the percentage attendance was very less. I had back spasm. When I did ‘Guzarish’ the doctor said that I could not work henceforth, so I decided to put in more as this would be my last film. I always took challenges in life in a positive manner. I never looked up to the negative happenings in life. I always chose all the resources that may be readily available within me and thereafter face all the challenges in life. I opine that we should not sit back and sulk instead open up the realm of possibilities and make the best of it. I have never blamed anyone, not the situation but have tried to make the best use of the prevailing situation. Being desperate or giving opportunity to disparity is one thing not in my dictionary.
What is your learning from ‘Krrish’?
When we started ‘Krrish 3’, I faced double problems. It began with slip disc and ended with a hole in the brain. It was damn difficult for me to be able to perform. At this point of time I just thought if I was Krrish in real? And this gave me a kind of power. I feel each one of us have this Krrish like feeling and we should try to make the best of it. I learnt a lot from the character of Krrish. Whatever God has given us we need to be happy. From this character I learnt to give my power to people around me and thus make them more powerful. I feel there is nothing impossible in this world. I have proved science to be wrong as every time the doctors advised me to do this or that, I gathered all my courage and performed everything that I wanted to do.
How is your experience of being a father?
My children’s unconditional love forced me to perform the character of Krrish. As a father I want my children to realise that there is no word as impossible. When they grow up and learn all about me they should also feel positive. They should be motivated and also perform their duties to the best of their abilities. Father son relationship definitely inspires each other in all manner. We all do look back to the hard work our parents have put in. I have been inspired by my own challenges and so as a father I want my children to be able to face all the challenges and come out with flying colors in every situation.
What is stardom to you?
Stardom for me is outside my door. I keep it out, sometimes I open the door to feel the power and make other people more powerful. Whenever I am at home I like to enjoy with my folks and friends. I am humble about having been bestowed upon the stardom by millions of my fans, they consider me as their super hero. I owe the super hero image to the audiences. So it is my responsibility to give them back the power, which they have given to me from time to time.
