Action-entertainers are Hrithik Roshan's favourite genre but actor says it is important to have a good script for such films to work at box office. Hrithik, fresh from success of "Super 30", had to go through a physical transformation to fit into role of an intelligence operative gone rogue in Sidharth Anand's "War" that pits him opposite Tiger Shroff. "It feels great to be back (in this ). It is my favourite genre. I love action-entertainers, I have had very few chances to do m but whenever I have had chance, I have revelled in it," Hrithik told PTI in an interview.

actor, 45, said he had a lot of trust in both Tiger and Anand, with whom he previously collaborated on "Bang Bang". "Actually, I only want to do action entertainers. But it is very hard to get a good script, it's hard to write one. It seems easy as it has action, dance and entertainment but you need to have an intelligent script in genre," he added. Asked about lack of multi-hero projects, Hrithik, who in past has shared screen with Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt and Farhan Akhtar, said such films are possible only with secure actors.  

"It takes two very secure and trusting actors and director to come toger to make this kind of a film. It is sad that we have a lot of insecurity in our industry and t many people trust each or. Here we did t have that problem as Tiger is coming from a very secure place, Sid (director) is somebody we both trust. We all came toger to make a good film. We were taking care of each or. We were sincerely making sure that each character comes out to its fullest potential."

Hrithik said getting back in shape for Yash Raj Films project after putting on weight for "Super 30" was challenging as he had just two months. " transformation was very difficult.

My waist was 37.5 inch. I had to do something drastic to get into shape.
