Actually, I think Hrithik is being a bit unfair to himself. He played a negative-ish role in War and it was fantastic! But I get the frustration—Bollywood does tend to typecast stars. Hope he gets to do more grey characters. Zaffar was iconic, yaar!
Imagine Hrithik in a full-on villain role like Zaffar! That would be epic. But let's also appreciate that he played the complex part in Koi... Mil Gaya and Krrish. Still, I want to see him bring that raw intensity back. Directors, take note! 🎬
I remember watching Luck By Chance just for Hrithik's cameo. Honestly, Zaffar was so believable as a narcissistic, ambitious actor. It's a bit sad that even after showing that side, directors still want him to play the righteous hero. Bollywood needs to evolve.
Good for him for speaking up. It's interesting how even a superstar like Hrithik gets boxed in by the industry. Zaffar was a fun character—arrogant and flawed. I'm sure he could pull off something like that again and surprise everyone.
Honestly, I'm a little tired of Hrithik playing the same 'perfect' hero in every other film. Zaffar was different—he had swagger and flaws. It's time he takes on more challenging roles. Maybe try a dark thriller next? 🤔
