No comparison between Big B and me: Hrithik
Mumbai: Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan,who has just wrapped up Agneepath, a remake of megastarAmitabh Bachchan's iconic movie by the same name, says thereis no comparison between him and the legend as it was "justanother film" for him.

"In my mind, there are no comparisons, because Agneepathfor me, is just another film," he said when asked if he wasprepared for the inevitable comparisons when the Karan Joharfilm releases on January 13, 2012.

"There's no manipulation and calculation. I reacted tothe script instinctively and related to it without a thoughtfor the original Agneepath. And there is no effort to dothings differently, but just convincingly," he said.

Hrithik returned from a month-long schedule of Agneepathin Diu, before leaving for promotions of his upcoming releaseZindagi Na Milegi Dobara.

"I don't think I have worked this hard in my entirelife...I feel like I have been steamrolled, I must be gettingold," he said.

Hrithik recalled his grueling schedule, where actionsequences were shot on rocky mountainous terrain.

"I was dragged on my back and chest. I had ice packs onmy knees and elbows and returned home black and blue. I have azillion scratches and bruises on my stomach," the 37-year-oldactor said.

However, there is a satisfaction of having canned someincredible stunts, he said. "It's this passion for good cinemathat drives you to take all this pressure and pain," he said.

Hrithik said he took the title of his dance show JustDance literally and let his hair down at the wrap-up party ofthe show in Diu.

"I threw my hands and legs around and just let myselfgo," he said.

"I must have looked stupid but it was a liberatingfeeling to be finished with the action. And soon, the rest ofthe crew and cast were taking a cue from me and joining in."

According to him, dancing is not about aesthetics andperfectly choreographed moves. "It is about celebrating thelittle moments in life and enjoying them without inhibition."

Speaking about the original Vijay Dinanath Chauhan,Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik said he is all excited about theveteran star's latest release Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap.

"I have just seen the promos and they took me back tothe time, when I was 12 years old and Amit uncle was doingfilms like Deewar, Hum and Shahenshah. The film is a treat forBachchan fans and I am one of them," he said.
