Does this event take you back to your childhood days?
I grew up playing with cars-and-track sets. My friends and I would make mountains of furniture and pillows and create our own world of racing thrills. In fact, I spent my first earning on buying these cars.
Do you relive those moments now with your kids?
Absolutely, boys will always be boys. Both Hrehaan and Hridaan are extremely fond of cars and we spend quality time bonding over them.
As a grown-up, are you the kind who likes living life in the fast lane?
I am big on thrilling experiences. I love speed, power and the adrenaline rush, which comes when you create something larger-than-life. This guides everything I do in my life, be it the cars I drive, the sports I play or the movies I act in.

Speaking about his association with the brand, Hrithik said, "Mattel is the worldwide leader in toys and I am thrilled to be associated with the brand Hot Wheels which has become synonymous with speed, power and thrilling vehicle experiences. With these attributes, they have managed to connect with boys of all ages and I am honoured to be associated with a brand that never disappoints. My association with the brand is special, also because of the fond childhood memories I have, of playing with these cars and even today, Hot Wheels keeps me just as excited...whether it is the launch of a brand new range of cars based on me and my passion or by making something truly large, such as the Guinness World record creating Hot Wheels Thrill Machine."
