“He (Hrithik) has worked hard to be what he is now. He gets attention sometimes even when he does not want it. He gets attention from all of us. It’s not like there’s a fear because that is a different point of view, a different way of thinking, which we don’t have,” the actor told PTI.

Mentioning how the director molded the characters and helped create a web that holds the emotion and love for the country, Karan continued, “The Air Force is about a whole bunch of brave people, it’s not about one person. So, it never occurred that he would get the attention. Amazingly, everyone feels I played it well, people cried for my character. That’s like the truest form of love. Every actor or performer has a dream to touch people’s hearts through the characters they play, and that has happened to me. It’s beautiful and amazing. I’m lucky to be a part of this film and to be given this role to play.”
