Hrithik Roshan has always done movies which have always been Blockbuster. So we wonder does he only select those movies which are superhits.
No, Just like other actors he also has rejected a lot of great movies.
Let’s take a look at the movies he had rejected.

But then Hrithik exited the movie, there were rumors floating he left the movie because of health issues or wasn’t happy with the profit sharing with Karan Johar. - Dil Chahta Hai
Farhan Akhtar originally wrote the movie keeping in mind Hrithik as Siddharth. After Hrithik rejected the role, it went to Abhishek Bachchan. But Junior Bachan also turned down the offer. After Abhishek, the role went to Aamir then Farhan Akhtar changed the roles of Akshay Khanna and Aamir Khan. Hrithik and Farhan then came together in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
