Actor Hrithik Roshan is keen to
contribute towards the welfare of the differently abled by making
theatres accessible to them with necessary facilities like lifts and
ramps.
Hrithik has been talking about wanting to work on that front, but
talking about the progress, he said in a statement: "I have spoken to
Ajay Bijli (of PVR Cinemas). But yes, we are going to take that up in a
very big way."
"We are still discussing and planning. I do feel that this is a very
important issue and we should do something about it in a big way
because they (the differently abled) should not feel deprived of
watching our cinema. So hopefully soon, I will have something more."
The actor's last Bollywood outing was as Rohan Bhatnagar, a visually
impaired man in "Kaabil". Earlier, he had contributed towards a change
in society's vision towards the differently abled with films like
"Koi... Mil Gaya", "Krrish" and "Guzaarish".
During the course of portraying such special characters on-screen, the
actor was drawn to the many challenges they face, and that's why he is
more sensitive to the lack of unfriendly infrastructure and amenities
in public places towards the differently abled.
At the trailer launch of Vikram Phadnis's film "Hrudyantar", in which
he has a cameo, the actor had also spoken about his happiness on
learning that the event's venue was differently abled friendly.
