In an interview to Film Companion Hrithik has made a not-so-veiled accusation at the director Sidharth Anand for the cheap desh bhakti dialogues.
Says Hrithik, “Well, I would like to believe that my fans and my audience who come to watch my films are a bit more evolved and they would not need lines like this. So that’s a weight that I bear because as an actor, I don’t cross any lines. At the same time, I admire that Sid is a very headstrong filmmaker. It’s his conviction; sometimes you see somebody that convinced and it kind of breaks your heart to power down and say no. Which I don’t do. But of course, I also bear the weight of that because finally, it’s my face.”
Breaking down the above ‘Swami Hrithikanand’ pronouncement for the common man: he is basically saying he was against mouthing some of the dialogues but went along for director Sid Anand’s sake.
