The Amitabh Bachchan & Hrithik Roshan partnership

After 11 years apart, they came back together for Hey Bro (2015). They didn't share a set between 2004 and 2015. From Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) to Hey Bro (2015).

It started with Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001).

The shape of the work

The 2000s belonged to Lakshya; the 2010s to Hey Bro. Amitabh Bachchan acted in every film; Hrithik Roshan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

  • Amitabh Bachchan was the one who pushed Hrithik Roshan to take on the role of a conflicted army officer in Lakshya (2004). Hrithik was unsure about playing a character who starts as a lazy, aimless young man, but Big B convinced him it would be a career-defining performance.
  • In Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), Amitabh and Hrithik never share a single scene together until the climax. Their entire emotional payoff hinges on that one hug at the end — and it worked because both actors deliberately underplayed their earlier scenes to make that moment land.
  • On the sets of Lakshya, Amitabh would often sit with Hrithik between takes and discuss acting techniques. Hrithik later said those conversations taught him more about screen presence than any workshop ever did.
  • "He is the only actor I've worked with who makes me feel like a student again. Every time we share a frame, I learn something new about timing." — Amitabh Bachchan on Hrithik Roshan, during the promotion of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
  • The father-son dynamic they created in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham directly inspired the casting of Amitabh and Hrithik in a similar emotional arc for the 2006 film Dhoom 2 — though that film never materialized with both of them. The template they set in K3G still gets referenced in Bollywood father-son dramas today.
