Harman fumes over comparison with Hrithik
NEW DELHI: His resemblance to Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan may have helped him strike a cord with movie buffs even before his maiden appearance on tinsel screen, but actor Harman Baweja is not happy with the comparison.
"My looks are not something that I have manufactured. It is what I have born with. There might be some similarity with Hrithik, but I completely disagree that we look the same or I am following his dancing or acting style," Harman said during a product promotion function in the capital.
Harman even got irritated when some audience members kept on inquiring about his resemblance with Hrithik. "Chill. Don't repeat, I have already answered it," he said.
The actor who is all set to debut with his futuristic flick 'Love Story 2050,' said, there are several actors in the industry whose resemble each other.
"The tradition of seeking similarity among the actors is not a new trend. When Shahrukh Khan began in the industry, he was compared to Dileep Kumar and similarly Diya Mirza looks like Aishwarya and Priyanka Chopra is being matched with Madhuri Dixit," the actor said.
Harman, who is being launched by his filmmaker father Harry Baweja in the mega-budget science fiction film 'Love Story 2050,' has in the movie performed several dance sequences that resembles that of Hrithik Roshan.
Also in the buzz, for calling dad Harry 'sir' on the sets, the newcomer actor clarified, "It was only on the professional ground and not out of pretence."
The actor, who has already bagged offers from heavyweight directors like Ashutosh Gowarikar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Anees Bazmi, however felt he was far away from stardom.
"At this time, I am concentrating on my work and am just waiting for people to watch my movie and give their verdict whether they find me worthwhile or not. Right now, I am just very nervous about the release of the film," he said.
As future projects, Harman has several films in his kitty among which 'Victory,' 'Its my life' and 'What's your Rashee?' are worth mentioning.
Harry Baweja's 'Love Story 2050,' in which son Harman is sharing screen with Priyanka Chopra has already been in news for bringing a new genre of special and visual effects to the tinsel industry through a collaboration with international directors of Oscar fame.
Oscar-winner John Cox, who bagged an Oscar in the Best Effects, Visual Effects category for Babe, has worked on the film, a love story which travels into future 50 years ahead.
The film is scheduled to hit the theaters on July 4.
