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.
