Hrithik Roshan Says He Wants Darker Roles, Names Zaffar From Luck By Chance

The remark signals shifting ambitions that could prompt filmmakers to re-evaluate the kinds of parts offered to a major commercial star.

Overview

  • Hrithik Roshan posted a selfie from Paris that went viral when he wrote he would “jump” at a role like Zaffar from 2009’s Luck By Chance and called it “sad” that directors only cast him as the good guy.
  • The Instagram post drew public responses from film figures, including director Zoya Akhtar, and several colleagues commented in support or curiosity about future collaborations.
  • The message revived media and fan speculation tying Hrithik to high‑profile projects such as Don 3, but those casting links are unverified and he has previously issued a clear denial that he was ever approached for Don 3.
  • Hrithik’s immediate, confirmed focus remains Krrish 4, which he is set to star in and to direct, a major commitment that shapes his near‑term availability and choices.
  • The exchange highlights a wider industry pattern in Bollywood where star-driven commercial concerns limit casting of established leads in sustained antagonist or morally grey roles and could influence how producers weigh risk if audience demand for complex star turns grows.
