Hrithik Roshan is an Indian actor known for his work in Hindi-language films. As a child, he made uncredited appearances in three films directed by his maternal grandfather, J. Om Prakash, the first of which was in Aasha (1980). In 1986, Roshan played the adopted son of Rajinikanth's character in Prakash's crime drama Bhagwaan Dada. Roshan subsequently worked as an assistant director on four films, including Khudgarz (1987) and Karan Arjun (1995), all of which were directed by his father, Rakesh.
In 2006, Roshan starred in two top-grossing productions of the year. He portrayed the eponymous superhero in Krrish, a sequel to Koi... Mil Gaya, and won another Best Actor award at Filmfare for playing a thief in the adventure film Dhoom 2. Two years later, he gained a fourth Best Actor award at Filmfare for playing the Mughal emperor Akbar in Ashutosh Gowariker's period romance Jodhaa Akbar (2008). Roshan starred in two commercially unsuccessful films of 2010—Kites and Guzaarish—but earned praise for portraying a quadriplegic magician in the latter. In 2011, he featured as a talent judge for the television dance reality show Just Dance. Roshan also played one of the three leads alongside Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol in the Zoya Akhtar-directed comedy-drama Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011), following which he played a man seeking vengeance in Agneepath (2012), a remake of the 1990 film of the same name. In 2013, Roshan starred in the third installment of the Krrish franchise, and the following year, he starred in Bang Bang!, a remake of the 2010 Hollywood film Knight and Day. These films rank among his biggest commercially successes. In 2019, Roshan starred in the biopic Super 30, in which he portrayed the mathematician Anand Kumar, and in the action thriller War, which ranks as his highest-grossing release. His first film in three years, the action thriller Vikram Vedha (2022), was not financially profitable despite positive reviews.
