Since the promos and trailers released, Hrithik Roshan has been applauding for his performance as a visually impaired person in Kaabil. The actor for the first time speaks about the challenges and the difficulty he faced while playing a blind man in the film.

Hrithik shared the difficulty he faced while filming, “Nothing was ‘most difficult.’ Everything was difficult and everything was so easy. The difficult part was the blind parts-doing action scenes and dancing as a blind person. We prepped for it beforehand and that was enjoyable! There was so much passion for this film, to build this film and make it. Working with Yami Gautam was so wonderfully bright and invigorating! That all came from the script and everybody was so passionate about doing something very special. So everything just worked out and the most difficult thing became very easy.”

He further said, “My brain has to dissociate from what is happening in front of me, even though I am not blind and to pretend that I am not being stimulated by light or not reacting to something that’s moving really quickly right across my face or a fly that is lurking right in front of my face. To not react to these things are spaces where you need to develop your skill to overpower your instincts.”

“Your instinct will be to flinch and react to a bright light, to not frown when you are shooting in a really hot, bright, afternoon. You will squint. All these were challenges of playing a blind guy,” Hrithik added in last.

Kaabil will hit the screen on 25 January.
