Hrithik Roshan all set for his digital debut?

After Vivek Oberoi and Saif Ali Khan, it's superstar Hrithik Roshan who is all set to take a plunge into the world of the digital medium. According to reports, the Kabil star has been approached to topline a web-series to be bankrolled by Amazon Prime.

"Amazon Prime has offered Hrithik a web series. The actor met the whole team and discussed the idea. He is open to trying out all avenues and isn’t averse to the digital platform as well. So when they approached him for a meeting, he readily agreed. Although there have just been initial talks, the team is working and putting a proper script in place,” read a report in an Indian daily.


Hrithik is known to play a diverse range of characters in films. If the role really excites him, we are sure he will take it up. And if that happens, he will be the second A-league actor to do a web-series after Saif Ali Khan.

"Hrithik will be seen in Super 30 and then, there is the Siddharth Anand film with Tiger Shroff that rolls next year around April. He will have dates around September-October next year and they plan to work the web series around that time. The makers are planning to divide it into a series of six to eight episodes, but the total length will be more than a feature film’s run-time," the source adds.

The actor is currently preparing for Super 30, a film based on renowned mathematician Anand Kumar from Bihar. The film is expected to roll next month.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
