‘Super 30’: Hrithik’s Brownface, Bihari Accent Get Flak on Twitter

The trailer of Super 30 dropped earlier today to mixed reactions on social media.

The trailer of Super 30, in which Hrithik Roshan plays the role of Anand Kumar who started an IIT program for the economically backward students, dropped earlier today.

And while the trailer was interesting and got a good response, Hrithik’s Bihari accent and make-up is drawing flak on social media. Twitter isn’t impressed with Hrithik’s inconsistent dialogue delivery and felt that he went overboard with the accent.

The actor is also being criticised for going brownface with his make-up.

A Twitter user asked a very valid question: Can a brown person be accused of brownface?

Can a brown person be accused of brownface?? Because fuckmylife Hrithik Roshan literally has gone full RDJ in Tropic Thunder! He is more brownfaced than Ranveer in Gully Boy! Bc kya hai yeh?!

One user went on to say that Hrithik had “molested” the Bhojpuri accent!

Some molest their junior employees, some molest aspiring actresses, while some molest bhojpuri accent. Unfortunately, everyone gets away with it. https://t.co/5Z0GDGfZdw

Hrithik’s dialogue delivery got compared to Arjun Kapoor’s failed attempt at Bihari accent in Half Girlfriend.

First Arjun Kapoor ruined bihari hindi and now Hrithik Roshan. Accent se overacting lagti hai. #Super30

Another user called the accent a cross between Lalu Prasad Yadav and Hrithik’s Koi Mil Gaya character Rohit.

Please @iHrithik its not a bihari accent if you speak like rohit from koi mil gaya and lalu yadav mixed together 🤦🤦 #Super30Trailer

One user criticised both, Hrithik’s “brown face” and accent.

One would think Hrithik Roshan would actually transform as an actor but he's doing the same shit he's been throwing at us since 2003. But, in Super 30, he's doing it in brownface and a terrible accent.

And there was a lot more.

You paint Hrithik Roshan in brown and make him speak Bihari. This is criminal. https://t.co/Y47wcUNrYz

Feel bad for Hrithik Roshan in Super 30. More brown paint on his face than the railways applies on its trains and a bad accent that even villains of the 90s movies wouldn’t want.
