I knew he'd help me explore a different facet of my acting. My primary motivation for doing Jodhaa Akbar was to mingle with a mind that'd be as alert and innovative as Ashutosh's. This is your first collaboration with Ashutosh Gowariker? How was it? For me, the film is a success and the box office is only going to be a bonus. You are asking me if Jodhaa Akbar did that or not. It's always a challenge for any actor to make the audience forget not just the outside world, but everything they've seen before on screen to suck them completely into the magic of the moment and to make them feel exhilarated. That brings me to the question of how did the audience react to watching Aishwarya and you do a costume drama after the fiercely contemporary Dhoom 2? Now, I want to do something entirely contemporary. It was a challenge for both Ash (Aishwarya Rai) and me. Dhoom helped me to get excited and challenged about Jodhaa Akbar. It's always fun to bounce off into the other extreme. I wouldn't mind doing a period-fantasy like Pirates Of The Caribbean. The ambience, country and language would require a similar discipline for me. But again playing Siddharth is about armours and horses. I'm sure Buddha would be a great subject and a wonderful character to explore. Wouldn't playing Buddha be different from being Akbar, the character you have just played in Jodhaa Akbar? Now, it's time to move on.Īpparently Shyam Benegal has offered you Buddha. Dhoom and Jodhaa Akbar covered two genres exhaustively. And I wouldn't do a historical for the same reasons that I wouldn't do a Dhoom for a long time. Krrish and Dhoom 2 have been as physically and emotionally taxing as Jodhaa Akbar. I don't think I'd want to get into that space for a long time. When you think of period you think of a grandeur that's hard to replicate. Doing it again would make it less sublime. But I'd definitely not do another one for a long time. I might've said that in a specific context. You were quoted as saying you'd never do a historical again? I'm happy everyone was motivated to see the movie.
Some liked it for the grandeur and ambience, while others liked it because they get an opportunity to throw some tomatoes on the screen. In fact I've enjoyed everything I've done so far. Was it a deliberate effort to lighten the load?įortunately for me, I enjoyed both equally. Ashutosh is a damn good combination of intelligent preparation and spontaneity.' Excerpts from an interview with IANS:Īfter Jodhaa Akbar you shot an ad. He helped me go to places in my psyche I had never gone to before. 'I knew he'd help me explore a different facet of my acting. The actor says his primary motivation behind Jodhaa Akbar was to be as alert and innovative as director Ashutosh Gowariker, known for his meticulous skills. With his first costume drama, Jodhaa Akbar striking the right chord at the box office and his second child around the corner, life has never been rosier for Hrithik.
