Digital platforms are where all eyes are at when it comes to entertainment right now. More so, because it has caught the attention of a lot of big Bollywood stars who are experimenting with their roles in digital series’. The latest to join the hood is reportedly going to be Hrithik Roshan!
According to a report on Mid-Day, a trade source was quoted as saying that the Krrish actor has been approached to star in the Indian adaptations of two very famous international shows — Tom Hiddleston‘s The Night Manager (2016) and the 1983 miniseries, The Citadel.
The trade source further told the publication:
The top brass at the streaming giant feel Hrithik Roshan, with his sex appeal and acting skills, will be the perfect choice to step into Hiddleston’s shoes as the luxury hotel manager who is hired to infiltrate the inner circle of an arms dealer. They have also suggested a web adaptation of The Citadel, which revolves around medical ethics. While he loved both roles, each distinctive in its heroism, Hrithik is excited to bring the British espionage thriller to India and is likely to give his nod. Disha Patani and Tabu are being approached to portray the roles played by Elizabeth Debicki and Olivia Colman respectively.
Given The Night Manager has a major fan following here in India owing to Tom Hiddleston, I am super thrilled to see Hrithik in the role! If the actor does go on to feature in the series, I feel he will fit the role perfectly! What do you guys think?
