Mumbai, Oct 17 (IANS) Hrithik Roshan says playing a paraplegic asking to be granted death by consent in the forthcoming movie “Guzaarish” changed his outlook to life and taught him gratitude as he spent time with several patients. But the star maintains the film doesn’t take a stand on the issue of mercy killing.
“This film doesn’t take any stand…It’s an individual story of Ethan and not about the issue of mercy killing. It’s about the strength of a paraplegic, who lived a full life for 14 years without being depressed. He wrote books, he got the president’s medal, awards, he gave sermons…that is what the film is about,” Hrithik told IANS in an interview.
“This film has changed my life. When your approach to things changes, you don’t worry about the small things in life, you don’t grumble, you don’t get irritated. You learn gratitude, that’s what this film has taught me,” Hrithik added.
