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.

Two Sinners marks Samir Zaidi’s striking directorial debut

Samir Zaidi, director of 'Two Sinners', emerges as a powerful new voice in Indian film

Indian cinema has a long tradition of discovering new storytellers in unexpected places, and one recent voice that has attracted quiet, steady attention is Samir Zaidi. His debut short film Two Sinners has been travelling across international festivals, earning strong praise for its emotional depth and moral complexity. But what makes Zaidi’s trajectory especially compelling is how organically it has unfolded — grounded not in film school training, but in lived observation, patient apprenticeships and a deep belief in the poetry of everyday life.

Zaidi’s relationship with creativity began well before he ever stepped onto a set. “As a child, I was fascinated by small, fleeting things — the way people spoke, the silences between arguments, the patterns of light on the walls,” he reflects. He didn’t yet have the vocabulary for what he was absorbing, but the instinct was already in place. At 13, he turned to poetry, sensing that the act of shaping emotions into words offered a kind of clarity he couldn’t find elsewhere. “I realised creativity wasn’t something external I had to chase; it was a way of processing the world,” he says. “Whether it was writing or filmmaking, it came from the same impulse: to make sense of what I didn’t fully understand.”
