THROWBACK: When Hrithik Roshan thought he was 'crap and horrible' at playing 'dude' in movies and called Koi... Mil Gaya 'tailor-made for him'
Hrithik Roshan once shared that he wasn't enjoying playing 'dude' characters in films. Hrithik also talked about how his dad Rakesh Roshan's directorial Koi...Mil Gaya took him to an imaginary world.
Bollywood's 'Greek God' Hrithik Roshan is a supremely talented actor who makes his fans go weak in the knees with his charismatic persona, versatile acting, and magnetic dance moves. While some fans still cherish his hookstep of Ek Pal Ka Jeena, the song from Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai, others admire his notable works, including Koi...Mil Gaya, Guzaarish, and Lakshya, to name a few. The 50-year-old actor once revealed that he was "crap and horrible" at playing 'dude' characters and called Rakesh Roshan's 2003 directorial, Koi...Mil Gaya, a "tailor-made" film for him.
Let's take you back to the past. During an interview with Bollywood Hungama in 2023, Hrithik Roshan was asked to comment on why he chose to discontinue performing cool (read 'dude') characters.
Hrithik initially didn't like playing dude roles as it felt off to him, the superstar said while adding that he only liked those kinds of characters in Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai, and Fiza. The actor added that he was trying to play the roles that the audience expected from him; however, it wasn't in his "DNA." He got quite "uncomfortable" during that phase.
Hrithik continued that he is only fascinated by 'dude' if his character has a "story, purpose, and meaning". The Fighter star shared that he wasn't ready to play such characters but did so because he was new as an actor.
The Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham actor further expressed that he discovered the "dude" inside him after YRF's Dhoom 2. Before that, the actor stated that he believed that a dude was all about being "good-looking," the one who wears "good clothes" and dances well.
"I was trying my best, but I was all over the place. I was crap and horrible at it," Hrithik said. The actor then talked about his dad Rakesh Roshan's story idea about Koi...Mil Gaya and how he was drawn towards the main character.
Hrithik was completely "wide-eyed" when he learnt about the "mentally challenged" kid that the actor played in the 2003 movie. The superstar shared that he got "sucked into an imaginary world," of his "vulnerable character."
"It was tailor-made for me, perhaps. So I took to it like fish takes to water, and I knew that this is my space," he added. Have you watched Koi...Mil Gaya yet?
