Why does Hrithik choose difficult roles?
There is a reason as to why Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan chooses difficult roles such as the Mughal emperor in the new historical romance 'Jodhaa Akbar' opposite the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai .
The reason is that difficult roles challenge Hrithik to excel as an actor.
Directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar , 'Jodhaa Akbar', scheduled to release on February 15, is based on a 16th century romance between the Mughal emperor Akbar and Hindu princess Jodha Bai, played by Ash.
"I really want to do films that scare me so much that I won't be able to afford it if they don't fare well," Hrithik said in an interview.
"It is only when it seems to threaten the value of my job would I be consciously giving it my best,'' Hrithik said.
But Hrithik said what he loathed most playing Akbar was wearing a lot of heavy jewelry and armor. He said it was awkward to wear earrings and chunky necklaces that were needed to reflect the royalty of the 16th century.
"How will you fight when you cannot even stand up? What if you fall with all that weight on you?'' Hrithik asked.
The shooting of 'Jodhaa Akbar' concluded in November last year with a lavish song.
The elaborate song was shot for about 13 days at Nitin Desai's studios in Karjat.
Titled "Azeem O Shah, Shahenshah", the song featured about one thousand dancers in traditional costumes, wielding swords and shields.
