Is Hrithik Roshan’s popularity decreasing? Is wrong scripts and long gap stardom impressed?

Hrithik Roshan, known as ‘Greek God’ in Bollywood, has been constantly facing challenges since his last successful film ‘War’. After this film released in 2019, his three big films ‘Vikram Vedha’ (2022), ‘Fighter’ (2024) and recently released ‘War 2’ (2025) have failed at the box office in the last six years. These frequent failures have raised many questions.

• Is Hrithik’s popularity decreasing?

• Are they not able to choose the right scripts?

• Or is doing less movies is overshadowing them?

Reasons for frequent failures

There can be many reasons for the failure of Hrithik Roshan’s recent films, which is necessary to look into.

1. Election of wrong script:

If we look at the last few films of Hrithik Roshan, then it seems that he is not able to choose the right films. ‘Vikram Vedha’ was a South remake, which could not achieve as much success as the original film. The main reason for this was probably that the audience had already seen the original film on the OTT platform. At the same time, ‘Fighter’ was an expensive aerial action film, but its story was lacking in depth. The audience described it as a cheap copy of Hollywood films. ‘War 2’ had high expectations, but also could not show magic like its first part.

2. Long gap between long films:

Hrithik Roshan takes a long time among his films. There was a three -year gap between ‘War’ and ‘Vikram Vedha’, and then it took a long time to come to ‘fighter’. In this digital age, when the audience is looking for new content every week, it is natural to affect the stardom with such a long gap. Big stars also bring one or two films a year to maintain their presence among the audience.

3. Changing viewing class:

Today’s audience is not only affected by big budget and grandeur. They need strong story and new concepts. ‘Pushpa’, the format of commercial films has also changed a lot. The success of films like Pushpa, ‘KGF’ and ‘Animal’ is proof of this. Perhaps Hrithik also has to choose such films that can join the heart of the audience.

Is Hrithik’s popularity decreasing?

Even though his films are not doing well at the box office, it is too early to say that Hrithik’s popularity is decreasing. His fan following on social media is still very strong. His pictures and videos go viral as soon as they arrive. People still see him as an icon. The problem can not be in his popularity, but in the choice of films.

Hrithik Roshan needs a project that can truly use his talent. A story that is not only made for the big screen, but can also add the audience emotionally. He needs a director who present him in a new avatar and can overcome their weaknesses.

Hrithik Roshan is still one of the biggest stars of Bollywood. Their failures are not a sign of lack of popularity, but a warning that they need to change their strategy. If they reduce the gap between films and pay more attention to the choice of the script, they can definitely make a strong comeback. The audience still has high expectations from the magician of ‘Kaho Na … Pyaar Hai’ and ‘Koi Mil Gaya’.
