Early Life

Once, he was secretly filmed doing an impromptu dance at the age of 6. His short dance performance was then shown to the world in the 1980 movie 'Aasha' by his maternal grandfather who was also the producer and director of the movie. Post this incident, Hrithik was seen in few more movies, having screen presence only for few minutes. The primary reason to include him in movies directed by his father, Rakesh Roshan and his maternal grandfather was that, he was considered as the lucky mascot.

Filmography & Acting Career

His last movie of the year was 'Mission Kashmir' where he again showed his acting prowess. In all three movies, he showed to the world of what he is made of – chiseled looks, style and superb acting. The period of 2000 to 2001 was termed as 'Hrithikmania' as he literally stormed into the Bollywood industry.

2003- 2010: Critical and Commercial Success

In early 2003, Hrithik was seen in the movie 'Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon' which was a disaster at the box office with critics writing off Hrithik. But, he took it as a motivation and aimed to perform well in future projects. In the same year, he was seen in his father's 'Koi… Mil Gaya', India's first science fiction movie, which was a runaway success at the box office. The movie won plenty of awards and also gave Hrithik a reason to cheer as he bagged two Filmfare awards for his performance.

In the year 2004, Hrithik Roshan's only release was the movie 'Lakshya'. His performance in the movie was praised but the movie did not fare well at the box office. A couple of years later, in 2006, he was again seen in his father's sequel to the superhit movie 'Koi… Mil Gaya', 'Krrish'. His performance as a super hero was again praised earning him a Filmfare award and the movie became one of the biggest hits and second highest grosser of 2006. Playing triple roles, Hrithik showed his acting supremacy, keeping up his gait and style in each of the three roles. Hrithik was then seen in 'Dhoom 2', sequel to the movie 'Dhoom'.

In the subsequent year, Hrithik gave his first flop, 'Luck By Chance' after quite some time. In the year 2010, came Hrithik Roshan's multi-lingual project 'Kites'.

After a few not-so-successful movies, Hrithik was seen in the movie 'Guzaarish' and his deft performance as a quadriplegic won him critical acclaim and plenty of awards. However, the movie did not fare as expected at the box office. All these years, Hrithik's performance raised many folds, and it can be proved by the numerous awards that he has won.

In the year 2013, he was seen in 'Krrish 3', the third installment in his father's super hero series. The movie was largely Hrithik's show and is worth a watch for his performance.
