In a move that has sent shockwaves through the global entertainment industry, India’s “Greek God,” Hrithik Roshan, has officially collaborated with the team behind the Hollywood sci-fi epic Project Hail Mary. Starring Academy Award nominee Ryan Gosling, the film is one of the most anticipated cinematic events of 2026.
Roshan has joined hands with the production to introduce the film to the Indian audience, serving as the face of the movie’s massive promotional push across the subcontinent. This partnership marks a significant bridge between the world’s two largest film industries, ensuring that the high-concept space odyssey reaches every corner of India when it arrives in cinemas on March 26, 2026.
Hrithik Roshan, known for his own foray into high-tech cinema with the Krrish franchise and Fighter, is the natural choice to represent a film of this scale. While Ryan Gosling leads the interstellar mission on screen, Roshan will lead the mission on the ground in India, engaging with fans and highlighting the film’s groundbreaking visual effects and emotional depth.
“I am thrilled to be a part of the journey for Project Hail Mary,” Roshan stated during a digital press junket. “This is a story about the resilience of the human spirit and the vastness of the unknown—themes that resonate deeply with audiences everywhere. Ryan Gosling is phenomenal, and I can’t wait for India to experience this masterpiece.”
Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and distributed by Sony Pictures, Project Hail Mary is based on the best-selling novel by Andy Weir (author of The Martian). The story follows an astronaut who wakes up on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or how he got there, only to realize he is humanity’s last hope for survival.
The collaboration with Hrithik Roshan is a strategic masterstroke by Sony Pictures India. By aligning the film with a local icon of Roshan’s stature, the studios are positioning the movie as a “must-watch” event for the mainstream Indian public, rather than just niche sci-fi enthusiasts.
To ensure maximum penetration into the Indian market, Sony Pictures has confirmed that Project Hail Mary will receive an expansive multilingual release. Starting March 26, the film will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
The Hindi dubbing, in particular, is rumoured to feature high-quality voice talent to match the gravitas of Gosling’s performance. This localized approach, bolstered by Hrithik Roshan’s endorsement, is expected to drive massive numbers at the Indian box office, particularly in South Indian markets where sci-fi and spectacle-driven cinema are currently booming.
Film critics are already calling Project Hail Mary a technical triumph. Directed by the visionary duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the film reportedly features “unseen” cinematography techniques to simulate zero-gravity environments.
The plot revolves around Ryland Grace (Gosling), a scientist-turned-astronaut who must use his wits and scientific knowledge to save the Earth from an extinction-level event. The film’s blend of hard science, humour, and heart has already drawn comparisons to Interstellar and Gravity.
The collaboration between Hrithik Roshan and the Project Hail Mary team signals a new era for how Hollywood blockbusters are marketed in India. It is no longer enough to simply release a trailer; studios are now integrating local superstars into the very fabric of the film’s identity.
As the countdown to March 26 begins, one thing is certain: with Hrithik Roshan leading the charge, the Indian audience is ready to head into deep space with Ryan Gosling.
