After his most recent movie, Vikram-Vedha, underperformed at the box office during the first weekend, Hrithik Roshan posted a heartfelt message. The actor also shared a video of himself cutting a sacred thread and wrapping it around his wrist. He explained that this practise has been a part of him for years and was his method of "letting go" of Vedha. The movie centres on Saif Ali Khan as the cop Vikram who is hunting down the infamous mobster Vedha, played by Hrithik. Although the movie got favourable reviews and good word of mouth, it failed to translate into significant box office success.
Hrithik tweeted, “Vedha has been a terrific journey. Thru him I learnt to be. At peace with my failings. Unafraid and unapologetic. I will always be grateful to my directors and writers @PushkarGayatri for creating this opportunity. Thank you Vedha. I let go With love and gratitude.”
In another note he explained, “I don’t know exactly when I started doing this (tying the thread). Or even why. I realised I’ve done this for every character that secretly terrified me. Mostly it’s a red mauli (Kabir wore that), or a black thread. Can’t even remember when I started doing this. Was it Kaho Na Pyaar Hai? Or Koi Mil Gaya, much later? Will have to go back and check my wrists or neck in those films.”
“When I finally did, the question I did ask myself had a satisfactory answer, ‘Did I give this everything I had?’ ‘Can I do more?’ It’s a question that scares me, drives me and keeps me searching for more.”
Hrithik ended by writing, “Thank you, Vedha. I let go. With love and gratitude.”
Additionally, Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan, which dominated the box office during the weekend, gave the movie fierce competition.
