Hrithik Roshan on why 'Guzaarish' may be his best yet

IIPM Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri on Internet Hooliganism

This is one of the happiest films that I have done

What drew you to "Guzaarish"?
I remember the day when Sanjay Leela Bhansali came to myHrithik Roshan house with this movie and while I was debating with him, I was very skeptical if I was evolved enough to take forth his vision and do justice to his creative genius or not… I was not sure. He took me through the film and in five minutes he made me laugh and cry and I heard myself say, ‘When do we start with this?’

You visited quite a few paraplegia patients… Was it your decision or was it Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s idea?
Oh, this decision would be the call for any actor… that’s what we’re paid for! It’s a huge responsibility when you’re doing a film like this, to portray the right spirit and the right mindset of a quadriplegic patient. Moreover, an actor’s biggest weapon is information without which one really can’t do much. So I set off on my journey to meet such people. Some of them are very good friends of mine today. This film has all shades… it’s dark, intense, tragic and yet puts a smile on your face.

Dark, intense and tragic films or superhero films, what do you enjoy doing more?
Let me make myself clear here: this is one of the happiest films that I have done. It is a character that smiles more than any other I have portrayed before. Ethan, my character, is the biggest and most powerful superhero that I’ve played. He can bring happiness into anyone’s life and that’s the spirit of the film.

You’ve worked with the finest directors in the industry. How was the experience with Sanjay Leela Bhansali?
With every journey comes a new world and I have to become a part of that world. With Sanjay Leela Bhansali I enjoyed the freedom I got as an actor, which I had never enjoyed in my life. I’d say he would just let me fly. There were times when I would come on the set and have some thoughts to add to the scene, but we were communicating at such a level that we never sat down and discussed it. So most of the time I would come in for a scene, he’d say action and then he would see what I had in mind for that scene in that shot which I gave. And this needs a lot of faith.

Share some memorable moments from the sets of “Guzaarish”…
Every day was fun. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is also the music director of the film, so every day he would come up with some new tune. There was always a guitar on the set and Aditya, who plays a very important role in the film, plays the guitar really well, so all the time we would sing and dance… Sometimes, Sanjay would also get up and show a step or two. A lot of his secrets were revealed including that he can dance, sing and make music. It was amazing.
