Think Hrithik Roshan and you think twinkle toes. It started with Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, where he burst into the scene to introduce a kind of fluid dancing that we hadn't seen in a long time, and never ended.
Audiences could never have enough of his dancing. But now they may have to do without the delights of Hrithik's dancing in some films to come. He is looking at scripts that will not require him to display his superb dancing skills.
The actor first got his knee surgery done at Bangkok soon after completing Jodhaa Akbar. But both the pain and the stiffness persisted.
A week ago, he went to Los Angeles to get a second surgery done. (It's another matter that most people thought he was in LA for the pre-production work of Anurag Basu's Kites.)
Now, the surgery is over, the swelling is gone too, more or less. But it seems he will not be able to do his usual naacha gana with ease now, without harming the operated-on knee. And no, he has no dancing scenes in Kites.
He is reading plenty of other scripts too. But, besides looking at the meat of his role, his main criterion is, 'No dancing, please'. Alas.
Wish him all the best
