Here's how Hrithik is prepping for his next, Super 30

Hrithik Roshan leaves no stone unturned when it comes to portraying a character on celluloid as convincingly as possible. No matter how much hard work goes into prepping for a particular role, Roshan never shies away from going the extra mile and get his character and everything related to it right.

Doing exactly the same for his upcoming film, Super 30, Hrithik has reportedly hired a language teacher who is helping him get his Bihar accent right for the film. Super 30, which is being helmed by Queen fame Vikas Bahl, sees Junior Roshan in the role of genius mathematician Anand Kumar, who coaches 30 economically backward students for IIT-JEE every year.


"Hrithik spends a minimum of two hours with his language coach from Bihar. He now speaks in exactly the same tone as Anand. In fact, Hrithik calls Anand to pick up his accent," reveals a source to an Indian daily.

Aside from working on his language skills, the actor has also decided to give gymming a wide berth. "During one of their meetings, Hrithik asked Anand whether he goes to the gym. When Anand replied in the negative, Hrithik declared he can’t have a gym-toned body to play the role. He has been shedding his muscles to look more convincing as a humble mathematician from Bihar," adds the source.

Rishab Shetty channels the spirit of Raj Kapoor and Guru Dutt in Kantara Chapter 1

Rishab Shetty revives Raj Kapoor and Guru Dutt’s golden era through 'Kantara Chapter 1'

Highlights:

  • Shetty moves from regional hit to franchise builder with Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1
  • The original Kantara put his name on the map; the new film widens the canvas
  • He writes, directs and acts- the rare triple threat Indian cinema once celebrated
  • The work is rooted in folklore and ritual, not spectacle, and that still lands with audiences
  • It’s a practical, working model of old-school creative vision today

Rishab Shetty’s path feels oddly familiar. Indian cinema once had figures who wrote, directed and starred in their own films, names such as Guru Dutt and Raj Kapoor. It looks like Shetty does the same work now. After the success of Kantara, he returned with the newly released Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1, again as actor, writer and director. The result is less a throwback and more a clear line of continuity: cinema made by one person who will not cede the story.
