Hrithik Roshan is currently gearing up for the release of War 2. At a recent event in Sri Lanka, the actor opened up about his career and his experience of working with Kiara Advani in War 2. He also spoke about regretting two iconic roles that ultimately went to Aamir Khan.
He said, 'I said no to Dil Chahta Hai, and I said no to 3 Idiots. But I think Aamir [Khan] was the right choice for both those films. It had a destiny.'
Hrithik also talked about his own shortcomings during the event and revealed how he never remembers dialogues or dance steps off-camera. He said, 'One is my dialogues. If I'm not in front of the camera in my real life, my dialogues I will never remember. And the second one is, unfortunately, my dance steps. I can never remember both once I step away from the cameras. It's unbelievable.'
Speaking about dance steps, Hrithik Roshab recalled shooting the song 'Aavan Jaavan' from War 2 and how he and Kiara Advani struggled to match steps. 'It was a really easy step. But for some reason, when Kiara and I were rehearsing, we were struggling to match our hands and our legs. I had to move like her, she had to move like me. So even though it was simple, it became complicated in trying to match each other. There have been very difficult steps that I've done which were actually very easy.'
He also recalled his iconic dance moves in the song 'Main Aisa Kyu Hoon' from his film Lakshya, and how he practiced for a month to perfect the choreography. He said, 'Like Main Aisa Kyu Hoon looked really difficult, but Mr. Prabhudheva made it so easy for me because he had somebody with me for a month, and I slowly moved into those steps every day, a little bit, a little bit, and then magic, that masterpiece, was born.'
Hrithik also said he is 'scared' about his directorial debut with Krrish 4. 'I need all your love and blessings. I am very excited, but also very nervous. Encouragement will go a long way. I'm scared, but I'm also very, very excited about this new chapter in my life,' he said.
War 2 is directed by Ayan Mukerji and also stars Jr NTR in negative role. It will release on August 14.
