My choice of films have been instinctive, I enjoy exploring and immersing myself with different psychologies, personas and experiences.” Professionally, I've always seen acting as living through the varied stories and onscreen characters I have been lucky to be a part of. Ask him what makes him a genre pushing superstar and he says, “Personally, I’m an adventure junkie and that somewhere spills over to the work I do and the people I associate with. WAR too set benchmarks in action, dance, scale – it was a spectacle. Hrithik has always set new benchmarks for himself and the Indian film industry with his body of work. As a contributor, I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of War and the response it received only encourages me to follow my gut and work with my whole heart and soul.” The superstar credits Aditya Chopra and Siddharth Anand for their vision to create the biggest action entertainer India has ever seen! He says, “I think it’s safe to say that it was the spectacular vision of Sid Anand and Adi Chopra as film-makers who made it what it is today. I think the best way to make movies which are ‘not so deep’ is to have characters who are really, really deep. I saw it as an opportunity for me to try and bring in weight and depth into the film with Kabir’s character which is otherwise not seen in such movies. And having done Bang Bang with Sid, I could trust in what they were saying. Sometimes, it’s important to GET how the director wants to interpret the script. Hrithik adds, “And then we sat and went through the entire script AGAIN and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Adi said look at it as an entertainer like Dhoom 2.” On hearing my reaction both Sid and Adi rushed to my house and it took 5 mins worth of reframing for me to GET the film. And I was into ‘real’ cinema like Super 30 at the time. When I read the script I didn’t see anything in it that excited me. On the second anniversary of the humongous hit, Hrithik reveals his first reaction to WAR’s script.
