Hrithik Roshan is an Indian actor known for his work in Hindi-language films. As a child, he made uncredited appearances in three films directed by his maternal grandfather, J. Om Prakash, the first of which was in Aasha (1980).[1][2] In 1986, Roshan played the adopted son of Rajinikanth's character in Prakash's crime drama Bhagwaan Dada.[3] Roshan subsequently worked as an assistant director on four films, including Khudgarz (1987) and Karan Arjun (1995), all of which were directed by his father, Rakesh.[1]
Roshan's first leading role came opposite Ameesha Patel in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000), a highly successful romantic drama directed by his father, for which he won two Filmfare Awards—Best Male Debut and Best Actor.[4][5] In 2001, Roshan played a supporting role in Karan Johar's lucrative ensemble melodrama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham....[6] This initial success was followed by roles in a series of critical and commercial failures, including Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage (2002) and Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon (2003), leading critics to believe that Roshan's career was over.[7][8][9] His career prospects improved in 2003 when he played the role of a mentally disabled teenager in his father's science fiction film Koi... Mil Gaya.[10] The film emerged as one of the highest-grossing Bollywood film of that year and earned Roshan the Best Actor – Critics and the Best Actor awards at Filmfare.[11][12] His next release, the war drama Lakshya (2004), performed poorly at the box office despite earning positive reviews.[13]
In 2006, Roshan starred in two top-grossing productions of the year.[14] He portrayed the eponymous superhero in Krrish, a sequel to Koi... Mil Gaya, and won another Best Actor award at Filmfare for playing a thief in the adventure film Dhoom 2.[15][16] Two years later, he gained a fourth Best Actor award at Filmfare for playing the Mughal emperor Akbar in Ashutosh Gowariker's period romance Jodhaa Akbar (2008).[17] Roshan starred in two commercially unsuccessful films of 2010—Kites and Guzaarish—but earned praise for portraying a quadriplegic magician in the latter.[7][18] In 2011, he featured as a talent judge for the television dance reality show Just Dance.[19] Roshan also played one of the three leads alongside Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol in the Zoya Akhtar-directed comedy-drama Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011), following which he played a man seeking vengeance in Agneepath (2012), a remake of the 1990 film of the same name.[20][21] In 2013, Roshan starred in the third installment of the Krrish franchise, and the following year, he starred in Bang Bang!, a remake of the 2010 Hollywood film Knight and Day.[22][23] These films rank among his biggest commercially successes.[24] In 2019, Roshan starred in the biopic Super 30, in which he portrayed the mathematician Anand Kumar, and in the action thriller War, which ranks as his highest-grossing release.[25][26][27] His first film in three years, the action thriller Vikram Vedha (2022), was not financially profitable despite positive reviews.[28]
