Jackson rolled into one person. The country wide hysteria
following the release of his first film Kaho Naa Pyar Hai
in 2000, is known as Hrithikmania and is unprecedented. The

He
wanted to quit the film business altogether after his father Rakesh
Roshan was shot at and wounded by hitmen sent by the Bollywood mafia,
but changed his mind. He prepared for 2 years himself, extensively
for his screen debut, taking acting, singing, dancing, fencing,
riding etc. lessons. He also worked hard on his diction and physical
appearance (strenuous workout routines). Fought hard to overcome
a stammering problem.
Worked
for many years on the sets of his father Rakesh Roshan in various
functions, including sweeping the floor and serving tea to the stars,
to learn the business from scratch. Believes in the good in every
person, a character trait often misinterpreted by others as gullibility
and/or naivety. He got 30000 (!) marriage proposals on Valentine's
day 2000.
In January 2001 Hrithik Roshan was again involved in a controversy.
This time about a poster created and used by the Democratic Alliance
in South Africa in November 2000 to woo Indian voters. The poster
used his face without permission. The ANC reacted angrily and threatened
to ban his films.
He
has been called the first complete Bollywood actor who has no weakness
and scores very high in every department: face, physique, voice,
dancing, drama, romance, action, comedy, macho, softie...
