As Hrithik Roshan awaits the release of his two-hero film 바카라Vikram Vedha바카라, the superstar says working in a multi-starrer elevates his performance.
Before 바카라Vikram Vedha바카라, in which Hrithik features alongside superstar Saif Ali Khan, he had shared screen space with other actors in films such as 바카라Mission Kashmir바카라, "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...", 바카라Dhoom 2바카라, 바카라Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara바카라 and 바카라War바카라.
바카라I love doing an ensemble. The more the merrier. Like I did in 바카라ZNMD바카라, 바카라War바카라 and now with Saif, it pushes you to do better because you see wonderful acting. Every time, I have done a two-hero or an ensemble film it has been way better and more fun for me,바카라 the 48-year-old actor said in a group interview.
In 바카라Vikram Vedha", the Hindi version of Tamil hit of the same name, Hrithik essays the role of titular gangster Vedha, originally played by National Award winner Vijay Sethupathi in the 2017 film.
The neo-noir action crime thriller, inspired by the Indian folktale Vikram-Betaal, follows a tough police officer Vikram (Saif), who sets out to track down and arrest the tenacious gangster Vedha.
Hrithik, who reunites with Saif after the 2002 romantic-drama 바카라Na Tum Jaano Na Hum바카라, said his co-star has maintained his originality over the years.
바카라Saif has always been real. He has never tried to be someone he is not. When the rest of the actors were trying to be the hero, trying to have that swag, he was just being himself,바카라 he added.
The actor said while working on "Vikram Vedha" he felt the need to be realistic in his approach.
바카라First time in 22 years of my career, I felt this pull to safeguard myself. I felt an instinctive pull that I have to be very real because I am opposite an actor, who is the most real performer,바카라 he added.
"Vikram Vedha" is directed by Pushkar and Gayatri, who also helmed the original.
Hrithik revealed "Kaabil", the 2017 romantic action thriller in which he played a visually impaired man out to avenge the death of his wife, was a turning point in his career.
바카라The difference between pre and post 바카라Kaabil바카라 is that I was hiding a lot of myself before. I was afraid of all the shortcomings and failings that I could see as a human being. Post 바카라Kaabil바카라 I have started being more of myself.
"That habit (of not accepting) is cultivated in your childhood when you are not able to express yourself fully. It is the unravelling of that, which is making me a better actor now,바카라 he added.
During the same time, the actor said he also hired an acting coach to polish his skills as he felt he was getting "repetitive" in his performance.
바카라I don't think I am a natural actor. I know the craft because of watching actors and being an assistant director to my father (Rakesh Roshan). Being born in the film industry, surrounded by cinema, I know the DNA of a hero. I got myself help and I did better after that."
The 바카라War바카라 star, who tasted success right from his debut film 바카라Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai바카라, said he feels blessed with his filmography and will continue to push himself with every outing.
바카라I am full of gratitude that I got this chance. I feel proud of myself that I didn't waste the chance. I gave my very best at every opportunity, whether it was a success or a failure. I took all my demons on and did my best. This is what I will continue to do,바카라 Hrithik added.
"Vikram Vedha" is set to open in theatres on Friday. The movie is produced by S Sashikanth and Bhushan Kumar.
