Siddharth Anand who enjoyed a huge success with record-breaking blockbuster, ‘Pathaan,’ is all set to come up with his next project, ‘Fighter’ with Hrithik Roshan. The filmmaker has applauded the actor, saying that Hrithik should direct a film himself soon.
In an interview with Mid-Day, Siddharth said, 'Hrithik is a complete Hindi film hero. He is an intricate performer who not only adds nuances to his role, but also encourages the actors in front of him, so that everyone shines in the film. Hrithik doesn’t look at himself alone in a movie. He is a closet filmmaker, and he doesn’t know it. I keep telling him that he should direct a film soon.’
Siddharth also opened up on how people had started believing in the Boycott Bollywood trend before ‘Pathaan.’ He said, ‘some sections of the Hindi film industry and public started believing in the Boycott Bollywood trend. They lost confidence in their own films. But Pathaan was an answer to it all — don’t find excuses, make a film with the right intentions, and people will come (to the theatres).’
Hrithik was last seen in ‘Vikram Vedha.’
‘Pathaan’ will have its digital premiere on Prime Video on March 22.
