Hrithik Roshan is an Indian actor known for his work in Bollywood films. As a child, he appeared in uncredited cameo appearances for four productions of his maternal grandfather, J. Om Prakash. In 1986, Roshan had his first acting role as the son of Rajinikanth's character in Prakash's crime drama Bhagwan 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.

Roshan's first leading role came opposite Ameesha Patel in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000), a highly successful romantic drama directed by his father, for which he won two trophies at the annual Filmfare Awards ceremony — Best Male Debut and Best Actor. Also in 2000, he portrayed two consecutive roles as a terrorist in the crime dramas Fiza and Mission Kashmir. After portraying a leading role alongside Kareena Kapoor in the box office flop Yaadein, Roshan played a supporting role in the top-grossing ensemble melodrama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (both 2001). He followed this initial success by portraying leading roles in a series of critical and commercial failures, including Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage (2002) and Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon (2003), leading critics to believe that his career was over. However, in 2003, his career prospects improved when he played the role of Rohit Mehra, a mentally disabled teenager, in his father's science fiction film Koi... Mil Gaya (2003). The film emerged as the highest grossing Bollywood film of the year and earned him a second Filmfare Award for Best Actor. His next release, the critically acclaimed drama Lakshya (2005), underperformed at the box office.

In 2006, Roshan starred in two top-grossing productions of the year. He starred as the eponymous superhero in Krrish, a sequel to Koi... Mil Gaya, and won a Best Actor award at Filmfare for playing a thief in the adventure film Dhoom 2. Two years later, he was awarded a fourth Best Actor trophy at Filmfare for playing the Mughal emperor Akbar in Ashutosh Gowariker's period romance Jodhaa Akbar (2008). After portraying a supporting role in Luck By Chance (2009), Roshan starred in two commercially unsuccessful films of 2010 — Kites and Guzaarish — but garnered 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 played one of the three leads alongside Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol in the comedy-drama Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011), following which he played Vijay Deenanath Chauhan in Agneepath (2012), a remake of the 1990 film of the same name. In 2013, Roshan reprised his roles of Rohit Mehra and Krrish in the third instalment of the Krrish franchise, entitled Krrish 3. Agneepath and Krrish 3 rank among the among highest grossing Bollywood films of all time.
