Did Yash Raj Movies have to provide away considered one of their greatest surprises in Alpha proper within the trailer?
Positive, you’ll be able to argue that the reveal raises anticipation for Alpha, however there are some who wish to be stunned by cameos after they watch the movie, slightly than having them revealed earlier than they even step into the theatre.
So anyway, now that the cat is out of the bag, Hrithik Roshan is all set to make a cameo within the Alia Bhatt and Sharvari-starrer Alpha, reprising his position of renegade however patriotic military officer Kabir from Conflict and Conflict 2. Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha is the seventh movie within the now-shaky YRF Spy Universe and releases in theatres on July 3.

9. I See You (2006)

When Arjun Rampal turned producer with I See You, by which he additionally performed the lead, he determined to usher in his then two celebrity associates for transient appearances in his intro tune.
So we’ve got Shah Rukh Khan strumming a guitar within the Subah Subah tune earlier than strolling away, after which Hrithik whistling down the street, breaking right into a small jig earlier than he too walks away.
The cameos have been nothing greater than a candy gesture of assist for Rampal.
8. Om Shanti Om (2007)

Contemplating this second was a part of footage Farah Khan shot on the crimson carpet of an actual awards ceremony, we’re not certain if Hrithik even knew he was showing in a cameo-studded film.
Why do we predict so?
As a result of he confidently says he’s going to win the Finest Actor award, and he isn’t even among the many nominees!
Although it does make for a pleasant, if presumably unplanned, meta nod, with the star declaring he would win an award in a film starring Shah Rukh Khan, reflecting how his blockbuster debut in Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai was as soon as seen as a menace to SRK’s superstardom.
7. Hey Bro (2015)

The second time Hrithik made a tune cameo for a buddy who had turned producer.
This time it was choreographer Ganesh Acharya, who introduced collectively a number of starry associates for a particular music video for the tune, Birju.
So it is not simply Hrithik. The video additionally options Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Prabhu Deva and Ranveer Singh.
Sadly, all of them shot their parts individually sharing display solely with Ganesh Acharya, so there isn’t a Deewangi Deewangi-style screen-sharing right here.
6. Krazzy 4 (2008)

The third tune cameo on this listing was additionally for a pricey one’s manufacturing, this time for his dad Rakesh Roshan.
Hrithik reveals off some slick dance strikes within the remix model of the title monitor, performed in the course of the finish credit of this madcap comedy starring Irrfan Khan, Arshad Warsi, Rajpal Yadav and Suresh Menon.
Apparently, the unique model of the tune seems throughout the movie itself and is picturised on Shah Rukh Khan.
5. Tiger 3 (2023)

Tiger 3 proved to be an underwhelming entry within the YRF Spy Universe, particularly after Pathaan‘s blockbuster success.
Nonetheless, pleasure peaked when the tip credit teased the subsequent chapter within the franchise, Conflict 2, with Hrithik rising in a neon-soaked alley, trying each bit the dashing ronin.
Sadly for followers, what adopted that promise turned out to be a serious disappointment and have become the franchise’s first large flop.
4. Essential Krishna Hoon (2013)

Hrithik and Katrina Kaif performed themselves on this stay action-animation hybrid entertainer produced by their long-time associates.
Apparently, Lord Krishna is Hrithik’s fan within the movie, and the celebrity arrives to fulfill him.
It’s a slightly kitschy scene that also works as a result of Hrithik would not cellphone it in, even when he’s principally speaking to skinny air in the course of the shoot.
3. Hrudayantar (2017)

Typically Hrithik would not even must say something to make a scene work emotionally. Such is the case together with his Marathi debut within the acclaimed Hrudayantar.
The actor performs himself, showing as his superhero character Krrish to fulfil the want of a kid affected by leukaemia.
The scene offers him no dialogues, however his expressions and that heat hug are sufficient to tug at your heartstrings.
2. Don 2 (2011)

When you concentrate on it, the cameo is slightly foolish and makes little or no logical sense, particularly as soon as the reveal close to the tip arrives.
But anybody who watched Don 2 in theatres with none concept it was coming most likely let loose a loud gasp when Hrithik suavely walked in alongside Lara Dutta throughout a vital sequence, earlier than doing a stunning waltz with Priyanka Chopra.
After all, I’m nonetheless making an attempt to determine how a face masks can magically add a number of inches in top and even an additional finger!
1. Luck By Probability (2009)

In a current Instagram publish, Hrithik wrote that when somebody requested him what sort of position he needed to play, he realised it was a personality like Zaffar from Luck By Probability. As a result of he needed to maneuver away from enjoying the standard good man.
Zoya Akhtar’s directorial debut, set within the Hindi movie trade, options Hrithik in an prolonged cameo as a well-liked younger celebrity. The position represents the opportunism, survival instincts and insecurities of Bollywood stars, and the way one actor’s walkout can turn into one other’s breakout.
It was fairly a daring transfer from Hrithik to tackle a task that went towards his picture, and that is precisely what makes Zaffar considered one of his best performances so far.
Oh sure, he additionally will get to indicate off these cool dance strikes within the gloriously flashy Baawre tune.
