Hrithik Roshan Opens Up About Stardom

Hrithik Roshan has discussed his feelings about being referred to as a star as opposed to an actor. He claimed that while one term makes him feel at ease and at ease, the other one made me feel like a "burden." Hrithik continued by expressing gratitude for his fame.

 
Vikram Vedha, starring Saif Ali Khan, was Hrithik Roshan's most recent film. Vikram Vedha, which Pushkar-Gayatri directs, is a Hindi version of the 2017 popular Tamil film of the same name. Vijay Sethupathi and R Madhavan starred in the original. The Hindi version of the movie struggled at the box office whereas the Tamil version was a success.
 
In a recent interview, Hrithik opened up about his films. He told, "Every time there’s a Vedha, Super 30 life actually becomes very easy because all you have to do, is your job as an actor. When you do films like Bang Bang, War or Fighter then you have the whole weight of being a star. And, you have to get the aesthetics right, all the expectations, and look at a certain way, that really can sap you. That is a very very difficult process. For me, doing a film like Super 30, Kaabil is a joy. Because all I have to focus on is being real, feeling my lines, all the things that are attributed to the job of an actor. But when you got to take up the job of a star, it is unhealthy actually in many many ways.”
 
When asked about the job of a star, he described the difference between being an actor and a star. “When someone refers to me as an actor, a good actor, or talks about me as the actor that I am, it’s such a warm safe, secure, fulfilled vibration inside, you know. I am comfortable. This is not true for everyone, it just basically goes to show that I am actually more comfortable, calm, and more myself being the actor. The star is the responsibility. I am very grateful for it, don’t get me wrong, I am very thankful this is something I cherish. I know it’s been given to me, it’s a gift but it’s a burden that I carry. And, I have to work very hard to thrive. I don’t want to survive I wanna thrive in it, but it’s a journey. As an actor, I feel very, very relaxed when there are no expectations.”
 
Hrithik's forthcoming action film Fighter will be his next appearance. Directed by Siddharth Anand, it is his first film with Deepika Padukone. It also has Anil Kapoor.
