Technology makes action safer, not easier: Hrithik

Technology may have made action safer but not easier, says Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan, known as much for his superbly executed action stunts in films and ads as for his acting.
Action in Bollywood films was of the dhishoom, dhishoom variety till the 1990s, but advanced technology and increased use of special effects brought in a new twist. ‘Action is not easier (with better technology). Maybe it is safer,’ the actor said.
Hrithik has done films like Mission Kashmir, Krrish and Dhoom 2, all of which gave him ample scope to demonstrate daredevilry. He recently wrapped up the action-packed Krrish 3, and even jumped off a cliff in Bali for an ad for aerated drink.
In his view, actors and filmmakers who dabble in action have many advantages now, especially with the boom in demand for films like Rowdy Rathore, Dabangg and RA.One. ‘There is a lot more that you can visualise now than before. There is a lot more scope for you to think out of the box, and things which were unimaginable a few years back are now possible.
