Gersh Signs Hrithik Roshan; Agency To Help Indian Star in Hollywood - Page 2

He should have done that years back. Better late than never.

He should play a bond villian

Didn’t he tries this once already a few years ago?

What kind of role or movie do people think he’ll get in Hollywood? No one is gonna offer him the kind of roles that would go to RDJ or Ryan Reynolds or any of the Chris’es. He’ll end up with a two minute cameo in some movie, and even that’s a very very long shot.

He signed with Brad Pitt's company in 2007. Nothing came out it. Then he signed again in 2012. Again zilch. Nothing will happen now. He is stupid. Waste of stardom. Should retire.

Hollywood likes typical brown-looking men when it comes to casting South Asians. HR is very handsome but the features that inspire so awe in India are dime-a-dozen over there. He could try for ethnically ambiguous roles but he doesn't have the gregarious, loud persona like Priyanka which made people take notice of her, otherwise they just treat foreign actors like flavour of the month and forget soon enough. It will be tough for him to get good opportunities, and 2010s were a much better time to take risks in his career, but let's see.

Isn’t he like 46 ? He should’ve tried 10 years back

As I said in the chat thread, Hrithik has been signing up with Hollywood agents since 2007. Rakesh Roshan gives interviews every two years about how Hrithik is Hollywood material. 😆

His PR even invents fake sexy lists and plants stories about how he beat Hollywood stars on it.

Here's Hrithik old HW agent, Jai Khanna, talking about how hard it is to get Indian actors to work in HW. They would get paid less there than they do in India so it's not a great use of their time.

The panelists also talked about the reluctance of Indian actors to work in Hollywood, with senior and popular artists generally ignoring most opportunities as it was a triple whammy for them: they moved away from their fan base, risked losing their cult appeal, and made too little money when compared to what they could earn in the same time frame working on a masala film back home.

Khanna summed it up, giving the example of Irrfan Khan in the film Life of Pi, who not only acted in the film for a pittance, but also vigorously campaigned for its box office and academy success: “Talent deals are tricky,” he said, adding: “When Indian actors work here, they actually lose money.”
