Going to live till I'm 90 years old and my service to the world will go on till my last breath: Hrithik Roshan

September 21, 2014

New Delhi, Sep 21: Actor Hrithik Roshan is currently happy and content in his space as an actor, but when the time is right and if he has a subject, he may go behind the camera to direct a film. However, he says "it will take time".

Hrithik RoshanHis father Rakesh Roshan is a successful director and producer of films like 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai' and the 'Krrish' series. Does Hrithik see himself branching into these fields in future?

Well, the actor didn't rule it out when he asked this at an event here Friday.

"I'm going to be living till I'm 90 years old. I'm going to be absolutely unstoppable and my service to the world will go on to the last breath of mine. Having said that, directing a film is may be...all I can say is, something has started," Hrithik said.

He finds it to be a "difficult" process.

"To direct is not just to make a film. You have to be a leader, like a CEO of a company, or say like my dad! He's incredible, he's a boss who's also a worker...and there's a lot that goes as far as a director are concerned.

"But I'm a man who loves challenges....I don't like to live in fear. So maybe in time, I will be directing," he added.

During a later media briefing, the 40-year-old contemplated on the matter again and questioned: "I have a father who's the best director in the world. Why will I ever not want to be directed by the best director in the world and take it in my hands?"

Nevertheless, he went on to say: "Maybe someday if I have a subject and I take his (my father's) advice and guidance and if he feels it's the right time for me and if I feel it's the right time for me, and my uncle (Rajesh Roshan) is equally inspired, then maybe they will all back me and push me for it. But it will take time."

As of now, his entire focus is on 'Bang Bang', his big ticket film, slated to release Oct 2.

"Right now, 'Bang Bang' is releasing and it just reaffirms the fact that I'm pretty okay at what I'm doing...so I can last a few more years doing what I'm doing."

Washington, Jun 11: Music maestro AR Rahman has joined the international film 'No Land's Man' as co-producer and composer.

Helmed by renowned Bangladeshi filmmaker Mostofa Sarwar Farooki, the upcoming movie has Indian thespian Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Australian theatre actor Megan Mitchell, and Bangladeshi musician and actor Tahsan Rahman Khan in pivotal roles.

"Time always gives birth to new worlds, new ideals. The newborn world has new challenges and new stories to tell. This is one such story," Variety quoted Rahman as saying.

The movie chronicles the life of a South Asian, whose journey gets complicated when he meets an Australian woman in the U.S.

The film, shot in the U.S., Australia and India, is predominantly in English with some dialogue in Hindi and Urdu.

'Sacred Games' actor, Siddique said: "The filming experience for this project was challenging but a fulfilling one. AR Rahman's brilliance will definitely make the film richer."

"Farooki and I first spoke about 'No Land's Man' at Film Bazaar in 2014. Between then and now, the film has become even more relevant as it looks at what it means to be a vulnerable person in a racially-divided world," producer Srihari Sathe said.

'No Land's Man' won the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) and Asia Pacific Screen Awards' Script Development fund in 2014. It was part of the Asian Project Market at Busan and was chosen as the best project at India's Film Bazaar the same year.

Earlier in January, Siddiqui posted multiple pictures on Instagram with the team of the flick, marking the schedule wrap in New York and Sydney for 'No Land's Man.'

He also captioned the post as: "Wonderful experience with the most energetic team."

Kolhapur, Feb 21: Voicing against Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), renowned lyrics and thinker Javed Akhtar has said that the act was an assault to secularism and integrity of India and with the ongoing protests, the nation had reached a threshold for an another struggle.

Speaking here on Thursday night at an event organised on the 5th death anniversary of CPI senior leader and progressive leader Com Govind Pansare, Mr Akhtar said the newly amended citizenship act was a plot to split the country.

Mr Javed said that communalism has a deep root in India and it spread after the formation of Hindu Mahasabha and Muslim League in British India. "Muslim league got Pakistan but Hindu Mahasabha is still unsatisfied," he alleged and added that BJP was now 'working as a branch of RSS' and trying to 'split the country' through NRC.
