Hrithik Roshan takes the journey down memory lane
Actor Hrithik Roshan remarked in an interview with a prominent newspaper, “I, as Hrithik, associated with life in a box because I was subscribing to the school of thought that was following all the norms and all the things that the books have said. I was well aware what I was doing. The idea that I needed to change had been planted in my mind long before the film. So I welcomed this film with all my heart and soul because it was the universe’s way of telling me that I needed to change, that I needed to break out from my cocoon and discover my real self, that I needed to live the type of life that Hrithik would live.”
He also recalled the reactions of his father Rakesh Roshan’s friend. “I remember when I signed on for this film, a lot of my father’s friends were worried about me… They thought I was making a big mistake. I was playing one of three characters, and it wasn’t even the central character… The general rule at the time was that you had to uphold the star status, and I knew this film was talking about the exact opposite. It kind of felt like I was making a big mistake.”
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara was a box office and critical hit. Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, Katrina Kaif, and Kalki Koechlin had key parts in the film. The tale revolved around three friends who went on a road trip and found themselves and their relationships with one another. The comedy-drama film was directed by Zoya Akhtar and produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under the Excel Entertainment banner in 2011.
Zoya Akhtar uploaded a photo of the famous Buick super convertible, which was an essential part of the film, on Instagram on Thursday.
