New Delhi: Hrithik Roshan made a splash at the recent IIFA Awards, as he took home the award for ‘Best Actor- Male’ for his nuanced portrayal of Vedha in the action-drama ‘Vikram Vedha’.
A well-deserved win for a performance that gained him accolades, with several referring to it as his ‘careers finest’, Hrithik gave Vedha's portrayal a ruthless, terrifyingly mad, yet charming, and delectably mischievous tone.
Hrithik didn’t just play the role of ‘Vedha’ but became ‘Vedha’ completely absorbing every element of the character and his nuances. In order to embody ‘Vedha’, Hrithik let go of all inhibitions and as part of his prep was willing to be eccentric and wacky.
The superstar absolutely let go and submitted to the process, participating in everything from voice training and speaking gibberish to dialogue rehearsals, dancing to 80s music, emoting to nature, and recording himself to perfect his mannerisms and dialect.
Audiences revisited the superstar's standout performance yet again as 'Vikram Vedha' released on OTT and led to a flurry of comments on social media in praise for Hrithik and the magic he created with the character. With his unrivalled screen presence, Hrithik Roshan made Vedha a villain you couldn't help but root for and it went on to win him immense praise from the audience and critics alike.
The role also went on to cement Hrithik’s dominance when it comes to reimaging iconic roles, from Vikram Vedha to Agneepath, showcasing that when it comes to performances, no one can do it the way he does!
On the work front, Hrithik has ‘Fighter’ in the pipeline. (UNI)
