Hrithik plays an underdog -- Karan Johar


It is well know fact that Hrithik Roshan is a versatile actor who always chooses challenging roles and works very hard to get into the skin of the character.


The actor who is essaying the role of Vijay Deenanath Chauhan has impressed everyone in the new theatrical trailer of the 'Agneepath'.

However Sanjay Dutt who is portraying the famous character Kancha Cheena in the film has been grabbing more eyeballs for his baddie role.

Even in the posters of 'Agneepath,' Hrithik is completely overshadowed by Sanjay.

Incidentally speaking about why Hrithik’s character is overshadowed by Sanjay, producer Karan stated that the actor plays an underdog in the film and Vijay Deenanath Chauhan’s character is different from that in the original movie.

“Hrithik plays an underdog, who is very young as compared to the character of Amitabh Bachchan, who was middle-aged in the original film. So, the idea behind giving Sanjay an impressive look (to make Hrithik seem like an underdog) was quite intentional, as the remake will showcase how the vulnerable Vijay, will rise against the huge and impactful Kancha Cheena and finally defeat him.”

“It is about how an underdog uplifts and rises against the impactful, big, large, scary villain, that is when you feel triumph of hero's spirit,” Karan further stated.

Hrithik not worried
Sanjay’s is getting all the attention after the release of the Agneepath promos, but Hrithik in not worried.

Recently, the actor confessed, “It’s impossible to not get overshadowed in front of Sanjay Dutt.”
