Here's how Hrithik is prepping for his next, Super 30

Hrithik Roshan leaves no stone unturned when it comes to portraying a character on celluloid as convincingly as possible. No matter how much hard work goes into prepping for a particular role, Roshan never shies away from going the extra mile and get his character and everything related to it right.

Doing exactly the same for his upcoming film, Super 30, Hrithik has reportedly hired a language teacher who is helping him get his Bihar accent right for the film. Super 30, which is being helmed by Queen fame Vikas Bahl, sees Junior Roshan in the role of genius mathematician Anand Kumar, who coaches 30 economically backward students for IIT-JEE every year.


"Hrithik spends a minimum of two hours with his language coach from Bihar. He now speaks in exactly the same tone as Anand. In fact, Hrithik calls Anand to pick up his accent," reveals a source to an Indian daily.

Aside from working on his language skills, the actor has also decided to give gymming a wide berth. "During one of their meetings, Hrithik asked Anand whether he goes to the gym. When Anand replied in the negative, Hrithik declared he can’t have a gym-toned body to play the role. He has been shedding his muscles to look more convincing as a humble mathematician from Bihar," adds the source.

Beyond the killer: 4 true crime stories that explore perpetrator's families

They don’t wear prison uniforms. They haven’t committed the crime. And yet, they live with the sentence. The whispers, the suspicion, the unbearable question: Did you know? Could you have stopped it?

For decades, true crime has obsessed over killers—their twisted minds, their methods, their victims. But now, a new wave of storytelling is forcing us to look beyond the perpetrators. What about the people they left behind? The mothers who raised them, the children who bear their names, the siblings who once shared bedtime secrets. Netflix’s Adolescence, Paramount+’s Happy Face, and a string of recent documentaries expose the unseen collateral damage of crime: the families of murderers who are left to pick up the pieces.
