Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan’s film Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon has become a guilty pleasure for many Bollywood fans over the years. While the film is often remembered for its exaggerated characters, the War 2 actor had previously joked about his performance in it during an interview.
During a conversation with Film Companion in 2020, Hrithik Roshan was asked about his most difficult role to date and whether he had adopted any method to play that role. In his reply, the actor jokingly took the name of Sooraj Barjatya’s film ‘Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon’. He also admitted that he failed “miserably” in playing that role.
He said, “I did a film called Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon. Very happy, very excited… (the actor imitated his character from the film), it doesn’t come very naturally to me, even though You just work really hard, which I did,” he said and then continued to imitate his character from the film.
The actor continued to make fun of himself being a game as he sarcastically said that he tried his best in the film. He mentioned that he gave it his best shot, and said, “I mean, have you seen the movie…Urja?”, making the audience howl with laughter with his sarcastic comments.
Directed by Sooraj Barjatya, Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon was released in 2003. At the time of release, the film faced negative reviews. In an interview with Uncensored with Shardul, journalist Rajeev Masand talked about his negative review and revealed that some members of the film’s cast were unhappy with his negative review. He reported that Kareena Kapoor did not say anything, but Roshan and the director were “a little upset”.
MPKD was a remake of the 1976 film Chitchor, which originally starred Amol Palekar, Zarina Wahab and Vijayendra Ghatge in the lead roles.
On the work front, Hrithik Roshan is currently busy working on Ayan Mukerji’s War 2 with Jr NTR and Kiara Advani. Just a few days ago, Pinkvilla had exclusively reported that a major portion of the film has already been shot and Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr are gearing up to shoot the climax of War 2 from November 2024.
