The 29-year-old actor, however, is taking the disappointment in his stride. Instead of brooding over his flops, Hrithik is actively engaged in the publicity of his home production, Koi...Mil Gaya.
Directed by father Rakesh Roshan, the film carries excellent pre-release reports. Roshan Sr had earlier directed Hrithik's debut Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, which turned the young actor into an overnight celebrity.
If the film works, Hrithik will be back in the reckoning. If not, Roshan's last chance is Farhan Akhtar's Lakshya (Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta).
And now, a Devgan film fest!2003 is undeniably Ajay Devgan's year in terms of number of releases.
Last year, the versatile actor displayed his range in The Legend of Bhagat Singh, Company, Hum Kisise Kum Nahin and Deewangee. Unfortunately for Devgan, none of these did as well as expected.
Tables have turned for the actor this year. His supernatural thriller Bhoot scored at the box office, and his latest release, Qayamat, too, has recorded a bumper opening.
Interestingly, Devgan has around half a dozen films lined for release this year beginning with Prakash Jha's Gangajaal, J P Dutta's LoC, Deepak Bahry's Parwana, Rajkumar Santoshi's Khakee and Rohit Shetty's Zameen.
On the personal front, Devgan likes to spend his free time with wife Kajol and their two-and-half month-old daughter Nysa.
