Yes. Because YouTube likes and comments determine credibility. That would make Salman Al Pacino. đAnyway,again Hrithik's a great actor but this is more on the caricature lines than a honest portrayal. Lets see if the movie changes things.
Most of Salman trailers get views. Not likes. And comments are mostly negative. There is nothing caricature about it. His dressing and styling have been done based on what Anand used to wear in younger days. Dont judge by his recent pics. U shud see his 1993 or 2003 pics.
Edited by ThunderLight - 4 years agoAs if this is first time Hrithik has tanned himself. He tanned himself even for Kites, even as richie Raj in his debut film and almost every other Ad or Photo shoot. The problem is some people still find him good looking even after the tan and that shows their bias bcoz they think he is too handsome to play a poor guy or Bihari. Biopics is not a Look alike contest in any case.
They didnât give him a tan, they painted his face in an attempt to make his complexion match that of Anandâs. This looks almost as ridiculous as Blackface actors of Hollywood from the olden days. If this role had to be played by Hrithik then maybe not call it a biography and maybe just say it was inspired by Anand Kumarâs story. If this was always supposed to be a biography of Anand Kumar then maybe not cast one of the fairest actors with green eyes.

Clearly u hv been reading lot of paid articles by rivals. Blackface was done at a time when Afro Americans were slaves and were not permitted to act and Whites used to not only paint their face black but also mocked their lips and nostrils. To compare it to a brown man who plays another brown man and tanning himself to match the guy he is representing and then saying only dark skinned guys shud hv played the role is a sign of Racism and Stupidity. If Kajol could play Kashmiri by using light lenses and lightening, if Rajkumar Rao cud look like a clown playing Bose, if SRK cud VFX himself as a dwarf, then even Hrithik can play Anandkumar. It was choice of Anandkumar to select Hrithik and he alone has the right to decide. And he is very happy. And yeah, it is Inspired from Anand Kumar's story as mentioned even in the Posters. It is not Hrithik's problem if he is too Handsome to play Akbar or Anandkumar as both of them never looked like him at all.

I donât care enough about Hrithik or this movie to read articles by rivals. Iâm only giving my opinion after seeing the trailer and some pictures on social media or here. I know full well what blackface was about and yes I will compare a very fair skinned man getting painted to look dark to blackface. Anand Kumar May have chosen him but that doesnât mean itâs wasnât an absolute ridiculous move to paint Hrithik like that. And Iâm sorry but your examples donât apply here. SRK played a fictional dwarf, it wasnât a biography. Rajkumar Rao isnât known for being fair and doesnât have striking green eyes and he also wasnât painted. Issue here isnât that Hrithikâs look was changed. It is that he was painted to look darker. In a world that has such a messed up unbalanced view of dark skin vs white skin watching Hrithikâs painted face only reinforces those prejudices.

So what? Is it first time? He was tanned even in Kites and so many Photo shoots and even Ads. Hrithik painted himself even more black in KNPH when he danced to Sitaaron ye Mehfil and he played the rich guy there. It shows that the only prejudice there is of a certain section against Mainstream stars. Rajkumar was shown fairer than he was in the film and his built or feature look nothing like Bose. Why did they not write when Vishal Bharadwaj darkened and even showed them highly dirtied Sanya and Radhika in Pataakha? Hrithik is breaking the stereotype that dark guys cannot hv green eyes.đ
