Over
6
feet
tall,
deep
voice,
perfectionists,
excellent
actors
in
their
respective
genre
of
acting
and
that"s
where
the
similarities
end.
Being
offered
a
role
previously
acted
by
Amitabh
Bachchan,
a
legend
of
Indian
cinema,
is
surely
a
scary
experience.
Anyone
would
be
doubtful
to
take
it
up.
Hrithik
Roshan
is
no
exception.
Like
the
rest
of
us,
Hrithik
grew
up
watching
Amitabh
act
in
different
roles.
Acting
in
the
remake
of
his
film,
with
a
comparison
bound
to
occur,
can
be
a
strong
motivation
to
say
'NO".
And
that"s
what
he
said
to
Karan
Johar,
the
producer
of
Agneepath
when
it
was
first
offered
to
him.
But
Karan
Johar
did
not
give
up
to
Hrithik"s
denial,
asked
him
to
'At
least
hear
it".
Karan
Malhotra,
the
director,
was
asked
to
go
to
Spain
and
narrate
the
script
to
him,
with
a
belief
that
Hrithik
wouldn"t
refuse
after
hearing
about
it.
Hrithik,
the
ever
considerate
and
a
person
who
hates
waste
of
time
felt
guilty
about
his
denial
for
a
movie
to
his
friend
Karan
and
with
the
director,
travelling
all
the
way
to
Spain
for
a
three
hour
talk.
As
Karan
Malhotra
started
narrating
the
story,
it
started
drawing
Hrithik
into
its
charm.
An
actor
who
is
known
to
demand
a
retake
of
the
shoot
if
it
is
not
up
to
his
satisfaction,
who
constantly
while
on
break
during
shoot
continues
to
rehearse
the
scenes
in
mind,
had
no
trouble
in
imagining
this
as
a
future
hit.
A
story
inspired
by
a
real
individual
and
geographical
basis
(Mandva)
and
same
names,
after
all,
who
can
ever
forget
'Vijay
Dinanath
Chauhan" and
'Kancha"?
The
change
in
Vijay"s
journey
and
his
completely
different
character
treatment,
made
Hrithik
attract
to
enact
in
the
story
completely.
Adding
his
personal
touch
and
the
instincts
which
have
made
him
a
super
star,
it
just
took
Hrithik
precisely
5
minutes
to
say
a
'YES"
to
act
in
the
movie.
A
challenge
is
now
what
is
before
Hrithik
Roshan…
and
so
let"s
wait
for
Hrithik
Roshan
to
come
on
screen
with
his
Vijay
Dinanath
Chauhan
persona,
for
the
year"s
most
awaited
Agneepath.
