'Mohenjo Daro' Star Hrithik Roshan Wants to Create Online Games for His Fans

Hrithik Roshan, who is currently shooting for Ashutosh Gowariker's historical drama Mohenjo Daro, is currently nursing a broken leg, which was caused as a result of an action scene in the movie. But that has not deterred the actor from doing action scenes himself and for his fans, Roshan is all set to create a live action online game.

According to the news in The Indian Express, the Bang Bang! star is now geared up to give his action avatar a virtual twist. Roshan has teamed up with Nazara Games, a mobile game publisher, to make his image into a gaming character.

According to Roshan, this move will give him a chance to engage more with his fans on a virtual level as gaming has now become a part of everyday lives. He also mentioned that his sons, Hrehaan and Hridaan, will love his digital avatar and is hopeful that his fans will equally like it.

"Gaming has become a major influence in the lives of today's youth and knowing that, I have decided to use that platform to engage with my fans through my digital avatar. My kids are going to love it and so will my fans. So look forward to being a part of it."

The game featuring a digital Roshan is likely to include his sword-fighting stunts from Jodhaa Akbar, his action from Dhoom 2 and Bang Bang! and his superhero avatar from Krrish series. As soon as the news came out, Roshan took to Twitter to confirm it.

He posted the image of his digital avatar, where he is bare-bodied and is seen sporting an angry look. His character is holding a machine gun with blood on it. From the caption he posted on Twitter, it can be gauged that he is happy about his decision and excited to see the game become a reality.

The CEO of Nazara Games, Manish Agarwal, confirmed from a statement that as the market for gaming in India is huge, they decided to rope in Roshan and are looking forward to working closely with the actor for a different gaming experience for their audiences. Agarwal was quoted by media247 as:

"The love for Bollywood in India is huge and gaming is a natural extension for celebrities like Hrithik to engage with their audience, we will work with Hrithik closely to bring differentiated gaming experiences for his fans."

The new game will trace Roshan's action-filled journey in Bollywood. Yet to be titled, it is slated to release later this year.
