Hrithik reveals his dream role type
Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan has spilled the beans on the kind of roles he’s craving these days, and it’s not your typical hero material. The actor recently took to his Instagram to share a clip from an interaction where he was asked about the characters he’s looking to play next.
In the video, Hrithik admitted he’s been itching to explore more shades of grey. He specifically pointed to his portrayal of Zaffar in the 2009 film ‘Luck By Chance’ as a benchmark. Industry insiders reveal that the actor was visibly surprised by his own answer, confessing he feels disappointed that filmmakers mostly approach him for ‘good guy’ characters rather than more layered or unconventional roles.
Why Zaffar stands out
Zaffar, a struggling actor with a dark edge, was a departure from Hrithik’s usual larger-than-life avatars. The actor said he would love to play more characters like that — complex, flawed, and unpredictable. A source close to the star shared that Hrithik has been actively seeking scripts that challenge his range, especially after the massive success of ‘War 2’.
Fans have been buzzing on social media, with many agreeing that Hrithik’s versatility deserves more such gritty roles. One Instagram user commented, ‘Zaffar was iconic! We need more anti-hero Hrithik.’ Another wrote, ‘Finally, he’s speaking our mind.’ The actor’s post has already garnered lakhs of views and thousands of comments within hours.
What’s next for Hrithik?
While Hrithik hasn’t announced any specific projects yet, sources suggest he’s in talks for a few intense, character-driven films. His recent hits like ‘War 2’ have proven his box office pull, but the actor seems eager to push boundaries. ‘He wants to surprise himself and the audience,’ a production insider revealed.
Meanwhile, ‘Luck By Chance’ remains a cult favorite among cinephiles, and Hrithik’s candid admission has only reignited interest in the film. Fans are now hoping that filmmakers take note and start offering him roles that let him flex his acting chops beyond the typical hero template.
