Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma recently offered an unexpected insight into Hrithik Roshan’s rise to stardom, revealing that he didn’t anticipate the actor’s success when he first saw him. Varma highlighted how the industry, including himself, had reservations about Hrithik’s potential before his debut film.
In a candid video shared on his YouTube channel, Varma admitted, “When I saw Hrithik Roshan, I didn’t think he would become a star. Most of the industry also did not think, because of which they didn’t sign him.” He emphasized that Hrithik’s breakthrough came with the massive success of his debut film, “Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai” (2000), which subsequently garnered attention and admiration for the actor.
Reflecting on his own filmmaking journey, Varma addressed questions about his recent lack of success. He acknowledged the unpredictability of the industry, stating, “Forget about the number of flops I’ve made. The fact that if you knew it, why would you make a flop? It is as simple as that.” Varma’s remarks shed light on the complexities of filmmaking and the inherent uncertainties faced by creators.
Despite initial doubts, Hrithik Roshan has undoubtedly proven himself as a versatile and bankable actor in the industry, delivering blockbuster hits such as “War” and “Super 30.” His latest project, “Fighter,” further solidifies his status as a box office magnet, grossing over Rs 300 crore worldwide.
Varma’s reflections offer a fascinating glimpse into the ever-evolving landscape of Bollywood and the intriguing dynamics between talent, perception, and success.
