Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan has caught international attention after sharing the spotlight with Hollywood personalities Nicole Kidman and Denis Villeneuve at the 2026 LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles.
According to India.com, pictures of the actor alongside the Oscar-winning filmmaker and the Hollywood actress have gone viral, prompting fans to campaign for him to audition for the iconic role of James Bond.
Held on November 7, the 15th edition of the annual gala brought together leading figures from cinema, fashion, music and art. Hrithik’s appearance also marked a significant moment for Indian cinema, as he became the first mainstream Indian actor to attend the prestigious event.
Photographs showing Hrithik posing with Kidman and Villeneuve quickly circulated across social media. Fans were particularly impressed by his appearance alongside the international stars, with many suggesting that he would be a strong candidate for the next James Bond.
One social media user wrote, “Let’s get Hrithik sir a Bond audition now.” Others expressed admiration for the actor, with one fan calling him their favourite performer of all time.
Hrithik attended the event in a custom-tailored black tuxedo by Italian luxury fashion house Brunello Cucinelli. A video shared by the official Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) account showed the actor greeting photographers with a traditional namaste.
The gala was co-chaired by Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio and LACMA trustee Eva Chow. This year’s event honoured Villeneuve, known for directing ‘Dune’, and visual artist Vija Celmins for their contributions to cinema and the arts.
The star-studded guest list included Tom Hanks, Timothée Chalamet, Andrew Garfield, Anya Taylor-Joy, Michelle Yeoh, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and BLACKPINK’s Rosé, among others.
Hrithik’s appearance and the fan reaction have also fuelled conversations about his potential Hollywood prospects, particularly the possibility of playing James Bond. However, there has been no official announcement linking the actor to the role.
The actor was recently seen in a surprise cameo in Nelson Dilipkumar’s ‘Jailer 2’, which arrived in theatres on 15 October.
