However, not many know the preparation that goes into acing a dance routine of the actor.
Shedding light on the same, Hrithik Roshan says, “It’s always about the process, don’t have a favourite choreographer, I have a favourite process and anybody who fits in that process, we create amazing things. The process is working with no egos, absolute communication, no feeling bad and if you’re feeling bad, express it, be honest and work hard. Give me time to work hard.”
He further added, “If you tell someone I want one month to rehearse, especially if it’s coming from me, they think I’m joking. Prabhudeva and Farhan Akhtar in Main Aisa Kyon Hoon, they gave me a month. Mr Bhansali gave me a month, in fact he gave me two months (for Jaane Kiske Khwaab from Guzaarish). So once you have time and you have will, you just have to work hard.”
