Hrithik Roshan's secret rule for rejecting Bunty Aur Babli revealed—broken only after Super 30
The 2005 film Bunty Aur Babli hit theaters almost 20 years ago. The film has become a cult classic over the years with memorable storyline, dialogues, star-studded cast, soundtrack, and much more. The film starred Abhishek Bachchan in the lead role with Rani Mukerji. However, Abhishek wasn't the first choice for the film. It was Hrithik Roshan who was the initial pick to play the lead role in Bunty Aur Babli. However, he wasn't comfortable stepping into the small-town space at that time. Later, he broke his own secret rule and delivered an amazing performance in Super 30. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Bunty Aur Babli director Shaad Ali opened up about the same and admitted Hrithik Roshan was the first choice for Abhishek Bachchan's role in the film. He added that his father Rakesh Roshan loved the script and wanted his son to agree to the film. However, the director shared, 'Hrithik was not very comfortable going into the small town zone at that time. He did a very good job of it in Super 30 (2019) though. Then, he had reservations.' Shaad also opened up on Hrithik Roshan ideating the film and it was his idea that the couple should be back to conning during the ending scene. Explaining the same, Hrithik had shared that they are 'like Superman'. Hence, it won't be appropriate if they go back to their lives and it was important for them to return to the con world. The filmmaker shared that the original concept of Bunty Aur Babli ended with the duo being released and choosing a law-abiding life. He also admitted that Hrithik deserved credit for influencing the film's direction. Shaad Ali also revealed that he hasn't watched Bunty Aur Babli 2 yet. Discussing the same, he further shared that there's no solid reason behind it, but he was occupied with shooting when it was released. He shared that he will watch the film online someday.

Saif says ‘the idea of heroism has broadened'; talks about working with Jaideep Ahlawat in Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins
Actor Saif Ali Khan, whose latest outing Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins recently dropped on OTT, says the idea of heroism in cinema is evolving. Discussing how the portrayal of heroes has evolved over time, Saif agrees there's a shift in the narrative and audience expectations. 'While it (the idea of heroism) may not have changed completely, it has certainly broadened in the way that you find heroic things in even things that flawed people do and that's more interesting,' the 54-year-old says, adding, 'I'm happy it's happening because it's a sign of evolution of character and audience.' The actor explains that layered characters resonate more deeply with the audiences: 'None of us are perfect in our lives, we all have good moments and bad moments, and if you can capture those things, it makes it so much more powerful than having a one-note kind of character who's like this godlike angel who never does anything wrong, which is how it's been in the West and with us, but now it's changing.' He adds, 'It hits you so much harder if a hero does something that is not his finest moment like if snaps at his son, or does something which is 'so human', you don't get to see it so often (on screen). It kind of moves us on a different level. And, it's great that it's happening.' On sharing screen space with actor Jaideep Ahlawat, who played art collector Rajan Aulakh in the film, Saif says, 'It was lovely. He's really taken the film to a different level. When you read his part on paper, it's very strong and interesting. But the colours he's given it are beyond what I would have imagined.' Ask him if there was any competition on set, and Saif, who has worked on several two-hero films including Vikram Vedha (2022), Bunty Aur Babli 2 (2021), answers, 'The most important thing is the film. So on that level there's no competition because you're just happy the other person's there and everyone's contributing beautifully to the film.' However, he also acknowledges the inherent competitive spirit that comes with acting: 'But on another level, while as an actor I'm not competing with Jaideep, acting is a competitive business. It should be because your character is competing for importance.' 'When you're doing a scene and you're speaking with all the passion, you want to be the most important voice. So in that sense, you're competing with everybody and that's how it should be,' Saif explains, adding, 'There's that, but it's not a destructive, undermining or insecure or dangerous kind of thing. When Jaideep does nails a shot, I'm very happy for the movie and for myself because I'm going to benefit from that and then I'm like 'Okay, I better get my act together and be good'.' Reflecting on the occasional insecurity that comes with the profession, Saif points out that in Jewel Thief, such feelings were minimal. 'There might have been times where I've felt (competitive), insecure…we're all humans, and the profession is like that as well, but in this case particularly and in most cases it's the film first and like I said competing for your character's importance. Also, Jaideep is too good to compete. He's among the best actors around today,' Saif ends.
