Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan has joined his acting coach Vinod Rawat's feature directorial debut, Pushtaini, as a presenter. Hrithik broke the news on Instagram, where he also shared the film's trailer. Vinod has worked with Hrithik since the latter's acclaimed 2017 film Kaabil, along with Super 30, Vikram Vedha, War, and this year's Fighter.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, when asked about his relation with Hrithik, he explained, “I have been his acting coach but I also feel like I have spent these 8 years as his student and learned from him and then asked for money from him. Because I think that while I don't know how much he learned from me, I learned a lot from him over those 8 years. Perhaps subconsciously, Pushtaini is also a result of his constant encouragement to overcome fear. He would always tell us and his team not to do anything out of fear but to face it. He practiced this in his own life, despite the many injuries he suffered and the scans he had to undergo. He never backed down from these challenges. He turned them into his strength and overcame them. Despite so many injuries, he is known for his body today. When he speaks, people connect with him deeply. Considering all this, no one would even think of trying to become an actor, yet he is a superstar today.”
Talking about Hrithik’s reaction to Pushtaini, Vinod further added, “I shot this film in 2020. In between this, I showed my film to Hrithik Roshan when my film was ready. He gave me many creative points, but he didn't mention at the time that he had doubts about how I would manage it.”
“It's impossible to produce, direct, and act in a film on your own. However, he has reached to such position in life that he wants, in your journey you fall, make a mistake, rise and face it. When I showed him my film, he was truly surprised by it. I felt very nervous, as if it was exam day and the teacher is my paper right in front of me,” said Rawat.
He further added, “He was fully emotional towards the end. I think it worked.
I told them that I am doing this film and then I asked will you help me for this. Next day he just came and said, ‘Vinod I want to present this film, it's not because you are acting in it. Because I liked Pushtaini very much and I cried in it, and I laughed too. So I want to promote Pushtaini. Because it is very important to do good work’.”
