Excerpts from Hrithik's interview.
On the work front, you have been busy with director Ashutosh Gowariker’s next for a long time now.
Yes, it is taking time, but we are having a great time working on it. We are making a great film, and I am extremely proud of it. I am enjoying working with Ashutosh for the second time (after Jodhaa Akbar; 2008). The rest is for everyone to see, how it takes shape eventually. But I think it’s a great film.
Have you signed any other film?
Well, all I can say is there will be two-three new announcements very soon.
Are you doing director Sanjay Gupta’s next film?
It’s not finalised yet. I haven’t signed the film, but we are in talks.
The back injury that you had sustained during the shoot of Agneepath (2012) gave you trouble recently. How is your back now?
It’s absolutely perfect. It was bad, but sometimes through the bad, something amazing happens. Through this bad, I have found a way to make my back the strongest it has ever been. I don’t think I will ever have an issue with any part of my body again. The kind of things I have learnt is amazing. I found a good doctor, so I am all good and sorted now.
Besides the brain surgery you underwent in 2013, you’ve had a few other injuries too?
You learn (in situations like these) how to be patient, creative, and not to waste your time sitting and wondering. Instead, you should keep moving. Things ultimately settle down, and the body heals itself. Plus, as long as your mind is healthy and creative, and you stay focused on things that you are enthusiastic about, even if you are in bed, your body will heal.
