Hrithik Roshan: I Get Drawn To Roles With Disabilities Because I Understand Their Pain & Frustration

1. I Get Drawn To Characters With Disabilities Because Something About These Characters Reasonates With Me

Hrithik said, "I get very drawn to them because something about these characters resonates with me. I understand the pain, their frustration and probably that's why I get drawn to such characters. Also, the fact that it's not just the character, these were scripts that I really enjoyed and therefore, the films, too. It's not just the fact that the character is handicapped."

2. It Was Difficult Doing Action Scenes And Dancing As A Blind Person

"Nothing was ‘most difficult'. Everything was difficult and everything was so easy. The difficult part was the blind parts - doing action scenes and dancing as a blind person. We prepped for it beforehand and that was so enjoyable! There was so much passion for this film, to build this film and make it. Working with Yami Gautam was so wonderfully bright and invigorating! That all came from the script and everybody was so passionate about doing something very special. So everything just worked out and the most difficult thing became very easy."

3. My Friendship With Shahrukh Khan Won't Get Affected By Raees-Kaabil Clash

When asked if SRK's announcement that he'd be releasing Raees the same day as Kaabil hurt him, Hrithik answered, "No. I was not shocked. I thought that any good businessman would do the same thing. They are allowed to do that. I am not in their shoes. First of all, we would not have announced on someone else's date, but that's the way it is. They may have been in a genuine problem. I have the understanding as a human being and as a businessman that what they are doing is the best that they could have done for their film. Friendship is in one place and business is at another. You have to understand that this is an industry and money matters."

4. I Don't Think I Can Direct A Film

On being quizzed if he sees himself directing a film in the future, the 'Kaabil' actor quipped, "No. Never. I don't think I can. I don't know why... I don't have the calling to direct. I don't write scripts. I can think, but I know that the internal calling is not there so till that is not there, I can't do it. I enjoy every aspect of filmmaking - including post production from editing, sound, design, visuals, VFX and dubbing, I don't just enjoy acting but the entire film as a whole. I cannot just do my scenes and say goodbye."
