Superstar Hrithik Roshan has just returned from a very hectic 1 month shooting schedule of his upcoming movie Agneepath. The actor has worked really hard and done some awesome stunts himself.  Commenting about the shooting schedule the Superstar said "I was dragged on my back and chest. I had ice packs on my knees and elbows and returned home black and blue. I have a zillion scratches and bruises on my stomach,” He further added ‘I don't think I have worked this hard in my entire life...I feel like I have been steamrolled, I must be getting old’

Though in a lot of pain after shooting for all the stunts for ‘Agneepath’ Hrithik Roshan had no regrets. The actor said that "It's this passion for good cinema that drives you to take all this pressure and pain,"

When asked about the inevitable comparison with the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan, who had essayed the role in the original movie, Hrithik Roshan said that he did not try and do things the way they were done in the original movie.
