“Can’t Tell You How Nervous I Am”: Hrithik Roshan on His Directorial Debut

Hrithik Roshan, one of Bollywood’s most beloved and versatile actors, is about to take a bold new leap in his career — into the world of direction. Speaking publicly about his upcoming directorial debut, the actor admitted, “Can’t tell you how nervous I am,” giving fans a rare glimpse into his vulnerable side.

Known for his powerhouse performances in films like Koi Mil Gaya, Jodhaa Akbar, and War, Hrithik has long been admired for his dedication to cinema. Now, he is channeling that same passion into storytelling from behind the lens.

Though details of the project remain tightly under wraps, the buzz surrounding his directorial debut is immense. Sources close to the production have hinted that the film will be emotionally driven and character-focused, something very different from the high-octane action spectacles Hrithik has often starred in.

Taking to social media and speaking at a recent event, Hrithik confessed that moving behind the camera feels both exhilarating and intimidating. “Acting gives you the safety of a character to hide behind. Directing leaves you completely exposed. But I’ve been dreaming about this for years,” he said.

Industry insiders say Hrithik has been preparing meticulously, shadowing directors, studying filmmaking techniques, and personally involved in every aspect of pre-production. He’s said to be deeply invested in the story, the casting, and even the editing style of the upcoming movie.

Fans have responded with overwhelming support and encouragement, applauding Hrithik’s willingness to step out of his comfort zone after more than two decades in the spotlight.

With this new venture, Hrithik Roshan is not just pushing boundaries but also inspiring a generation of artists to keep evolving, keep learning, and to never shy away from starting something entirely new.
