Bollywood Greek's God Hrithik Roshan, who would be seen playing a visually-impaired
character in his next film 'Kaabil', feels that blind people are an example
of the potential that lies in all of us. 'They are an example of the potential
that lies inside all of us. We are blind to our own potential, but the blind
can actually make us open our eyes to our potential. It's incredible inspiring
when you learn of blind photographers, blind make-up artist, painters, lawyers,
singers. They are doing everything, I mean to which world we were in thinking
how this could be possible', he told ANI in an exclusive interview.
'The film is not trying to give a message out but through the
film, through the campaign, through our words we want to create this awareness
about the blind because we truly believe that we are blind to their world. Their
world is not how we perceive and the reason I m saying this is because I myself
went through that revelation,' he added.
Pointing out that the film portrays the true picture of blind,
the 'Krrish' actor said, 'I realised myself when I saw in the script there were
action, dance and I said but they are blind this will not look real then I was
shown videos, I met some of my blind friends. And I was amazed that I have been
so unaware. Through this film I hope to raise this awareness about the blind
and for the blind,' Hrithik said.
The 43-year-old actor was recently spotted in the national
capital promoting 'Kaabil' with his co-actress Yami Gautam.
Sanjay Gupta's directorial, which is widely being praised by
B-town veterans including Shabana Azmi, Prem Chopra, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu
Singh, is slated to hit theatres on January 25.
