Bollywood’s Greek God Hrithik Roshan has selected versatile scripts right from the beginning. After making a stellar debut with ‘Kaho Naa Pyaar Hain’, he immediately made an army-based film like ‘Lakshya’. He appeared as a mentally challenged guy in ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ and did a superhero movie like ‘Krrish’. After working on racy action flick like ‘Dhoom 2’, he did ‘Jodhaa Akbar’ which is a historic film directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar.
This movie showcased the love between Akbar and his wife Jodhaa. The movie was 4 hours long but still turned out to be a huge success. It is one of the iconic films and the music from AR Rahman is unparalleled. The movie completed 15 years on Wednesday and the ‘War’ hero decided to share a message to his director on this special occasion. He even shared some pictures from the time when it was shot.
Hrithik wrote, “Happy Birthday @ashutoshgowariker. Thank you for trusting me with the monumental responsibility of being a part of Jodhaa Akbar. Your direction & my incredible co-stars will forever be cherished. #15yearsOfJodhaaAkbar.” Hrithik and Ashutosh worked together once again in 2015. They made ‘Mohenjodaro’ which turned out to be a huge disaster at the box office.
Talking about his upcoming project ‘Fighter’, he said, “We are shooting with real fighter jets. We just shot in a Sukhoi. It has been so inspiring just being around the Indian Air Force. There is so much to learn from their body language, decorum, the discipline, their courage and intelligence. I am very glad that I got to experience that myself.”
Siddharth Anand who delivered a massive success like ‘Pathaan’ is directing this movie. Hrithik and Siddharth made ‘War’ and ‘Bang Bang’ together before. ‘Fighter’ has Deepika Padukone playing the female lead and it is expected to hit the screens in January 2024.
