Hrithik Roshan’s experience of playing a visually-challenged man in Kaabil has given him a different perspective about the world of the differently-abled. To this end, the actor wants the Government to provide better infrastructure for them.
“Through my film’s characters, I have acquired a deeper understanding of differently-abled people’s lives and the challenges they face. One thing that has been playing on my mind is the need for our public places to be easily accessible to these people. It is a larger thought, but it is surprising that it hasn’t happened yet, even with over 20 million differently-abled people in India.”

“Coming from the film fraternity, I would like to appeal to the multiplex chains to take them [differently-abled people] into consideration and work towards appropriate infrastructure. Infrastructure with which they [the differently-abled] will not be deprived of the big-screen experience of a film, and won’t have to think twice before stepping out for something as small as watching a movie. I’d love to help if there is anything I can do for that,” he said.
