Actor expresses frustration on social media, says 'Directors only want to see me in good guy roles.'
On Thursday, Hrithik posted a selfie from Paris on his social media account. Along with the picture, he shared his feelings related to his choice of characters.
He mentioned that he had been thinking for a while about the kind of roles he wants to play.
Hrithik wrote in his post that he wants to play a character like Zaffar Khan from Zoya Akhtar's film 'Luck By Chance' again.
"I was asked what kind of role I want to do... Remember Zaffar from 'Luck By Chance'? Just a role like that. I am always ready for such roles. But directors only want to see me in the role of a good person. This is very sad."
This post makes it clear that Hrithik is a bit disappointed with his on-screen image and wants to try something new.
Hrithik Roshan had a cameo in Zoya Akhtar's 2009 film 'Luck By Chance'. In this film, his character was a superstar named Zaffar Khan.
Zaffar Khan appeared very attractive and successful on the outside, but inside, he was extremely selfish and insecure. He could use anyone for his own benefit.
It was a grey-shaded character, which Hrithik portrayed brilliantly and is still remembered by people today.
'Luck By Chance' director Zoya Akhtar also commented on Hrithik's post. She wrote, "Let's get coffee." Her comment has led fans to hope that the two might collaborate on a project soon.
Hrithik Roshan has played mostly positive and heroic characters in his career. From 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai' to 'Fighter', audiences have loved him as a hero.
However, he also garnered praise for intense roles like Vijay Deenanath Chauhan in 'Agneepath' and a stylish thief in 'Dhoom 2'.
His recent post indicates that he now wants to break this hero image and experiment more as an actor.
On the work front, Hrithik Roshan's last film was 'Fighter', which received a good response from the audience.
He will soon be seen in 'War 2' with Jr NTR. Besides this, his father Rakesh Roshan is also working on 'Krrish 4', which fans are eagerly awaiting.
After Hrithik's post, it will be interesting to see if any director takes the risk of casting him in a powerful negative role.
