Hrithik Opens Up About His Dream Role
Bollywood’s Greek god Hrithik Roshan just dropped a truth bomb that has fans and industry insiders buzzing. In a candid social media post, the actor revealed that when asked what kind of role he’s craving next, the answer surprised even himself — it’s the charmingly negative Zaffar from Zoya Akhtar’s 2009 cult classic Luck by Chance.
Sharing his thoughts, Hrithik wrote, ‘Just got asked what’s the kind of role I’m looking for. And I surprised myself when it came to me. Remember Zaffar from Luck by Chance? That’s the one. I’d jump on something like that. But directors only wanna see me play the good guy. Sad.’ The post quickly went viral, with fans flooding the comments to applaud his honesty and love for that iconic character.
Zoya Akhtar herself jumped in with a cheeky reply: ‘Let’s get that coffee.’ Industry watchers are now wondering if a collaboration might be on the cards. Hrithik’s Zaffar was a smooth-talking, slightly shady film star — a role that showed a different, more mischievous side of the actor. Clearly, he’s itching to revisit that space.
Fans and Filmmakers React
The post wasn’t just a casual thought — it sparked a full-on nostalgia fest. One fan wrote, ‘One of your best performances ❤️ please listen to your heart.’ Another user humorously claimed, ‘Zaffar from Luck by Chance then this time I will direct you, you chose last time in the movie @hrithikroshan.’ The enthusiasm was palpable, with many calling for filmmakers to step out of their comfort zones and cast Hrithik in morally ambiguous roles.
For years, Hrithik has been the quintessential good guy — from the super-soldier in War to the superhero in Krrish. But his fans remember his menacing turn as the villain in Darr? Okay, that was Shah Rukh Khan. Hrithik’s own dark side came through in films like Koi… Mil Gaya‘s Rohit? Not quite. Actually, his only real negative role was Zaffar and a brief cameo in Kites. So the hunger for something shades-of-grey is real.
The conversation also revived chatter about Luck by Chance, a film that famously chronicled the dark underbelly of Bollywood. Zoya Akhtar’s directorial debut was packed with star cameos and sharp commentary. Hrithik’s Zaffar remains a fan favorite — and now the actor himself wants to bring that energy back.
Krrish 4: A New Chapter
While Hrithik dreams of playing grey characters, he’s also busy shaping the next big chapter of his career. Krrish 4 is not just a sequel — it’s his directorial debut. Earlier, his father Rakesh Roshan took to social media to announce the big news, writing, ‘Duggu, 25 years back I launched you as an actor, and today again after 25 years you are being launched as a director by two filmmakers Adi Chopra & myself to take forward our most ambitious film #Krrish4. Wish you all the success in this new avatar.’
The film marks a massive milestone for Hrithik, who last appeared in War 2 (which had mixed reviews). Now, he’s stepping behind the camera while also reprising his iconic superhero role. It’s a multitasking move that has fans excited — though some are hoping he’ll also find time to play a bad boy in between saving the world.
So will any director take the hint and offer Hrithik a juicy negative role? Or will he have to write one himself in Krrish 4? Either way, Duggu is ready to surprise us — and himself.
