Birthday Special: Here’re top 5 iconic roles of Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik Roshan is one of the most successful actors working in the industry. He also holds the title of the “sexiest man of the decade.” Blessed with great looks and exceptional acting skills, Hrithik Roshan has delivered a series of blockbusters ever since setting his foot in Bollywood with Kaho Na Pyaar Hai (2000), directed and produced by his father, Rakesh Roshan. The actor enjoys massive popularity not only in India but several other parts of the world as well. On the occasion of his 48th birthday today, let’s visit his top 5 performances throughout his acting career.

5. Anand Kumar from Super 30 (2019)

Based on the life of genius mathematician Anand Kumar, Super 30 is a biographical drama, directed by Vikas Bahl. Hrithik Roshan outperformed his earlier performances and delivered this masterpiece. From getting a dark skin to practicing his perfect Bihari accent, the superstar worked really hard for this film.

4. Vijay Deenanath Chauhan from Agneepath (2012)

From songs like ‘Deva Shree Ganesha’ to ‘Chikni Chameli’ and to Hrithik’s iconic character of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, Agneepath had many highlights that made it an immensely successful film at the box office. It was hard to play the role of Vijay when legendary actor like Amitabh Bachchan had already played the same role in the original film in 1990. But Hrithik Roshan still delivered an outstanding performance in his own style. Along with Hrithik, Sanjay Dutt also played a phenomenal role of Kancha Cheena in the film.

3. Akbar from Jodhaa Akbar (2008)

It is always a good experience to watch a mega budget historical movie. And if the title character is played by Hrithik Roshan, we can always expect it to turn out to be an amazing performance. In the 2008 film, Roshan played the role of Mughal Emperor Akbar while Aishwarya Rai Bachchan essayed the role of Jodhaa Bai. The Ashutosh Gowariker directorial was one of the biggest hits of 2008 and still continues to attract many, thanks to stellar performances from the cast and melodious music by AR Rahman.

2. Karan Shergill from Lakshya (2004)

In this 2004 film, Hrithik Roshan played the role of a confused youngster who doesn’t know what to do with his life. But then he finds his goal and decides to serve the nation by becoming a soldier. Although, the film was not received well at the box office, it surely motivated a lot of youngsters.

1. Rohit Mehra from Koi Mil Gaya (2003)

Hrithik has played many iconic roles in his career, but if we have to choose the best, it will be his portrayal of Rohit Mehra from the 2003 film Koi Mil Gaya. Rohit is a mentally challenged boy who behaves like a child even when he is much older. The film takes very emotional turn when the helpless Rohit Mehra gets beaten up by Raj (Rajat Bedi) and his gang. The film takes another twist when Rohit accidently meets ‘Jadoo,’ an extraterrestrial life from the outer space. The alien gives Rohit tremendous powers and turns him into a super human.
