Not the one to mull over failures, in his own words, Hrithik said the debacle of Mohenjo Daro hasn't affected him. He is set for yet another clash - Kaabil vs Raees. Both Hrithik and Shah Rukh Khan's films are slated to release on January 26, 2017.
Hrithik told NDTV: "It's not the ideal situation but it's happening now and all we can do is communicate with each other and do the best we can."
Shah Rukh, who has co-starred with good friend Hrithik in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, will be seen as a liquor bootlegger in Rahul Dholakia's Raees. There have been talks between Kaabil's producer Rakesh Roshan and Excel Entertainment, which co-produces Raees, and they decided to release their films together on the Republic Day weekend.
About the clash, Hrithik said: "Shah Rukh and I understand each other. Let's see what happens then."
Team Raees is yet to complete shooting the remaining scenes with Mahira Khan whilst Kaabil is already in post-production.
So, is Kaabil inspired by the Scent of a Woman?
Hrithik told NDTV, "No, it isn't. It's an original piece but I'm inspired by Al Pacino."
The next offering from the Roshan stables will be Krrish 4 but Hrithik said it will take a while since they are still looking for the perfect script. After all, Krrish is a tall order to live up to.
Will lucky charm Priyanka Chopra be part of the fourth instalment?
"Now, don't ask me. I don't know anything. Krrish is a while away," said Hrithik.
Refuting rumours of being part of Race 3, Hrithik said he is currently in a "very Dhoom 2 kind of a space."
So, with the turbulence of 2016 well past him, how does the actor look back at the year?
"I don't look back," Hrithik Roshan concluded.
