The Hrithik Roshan & Rakesh Roshan partnership
After 14 years apart, they came back together for Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000). They didn't share a set between 1986 and 2000. Their work runs across 3 decades of Hindi cinema.
From Bhagwaan Dada (1986) to Krrish 3 (2013). Koi... Mil Gaya is the one most viewers reach for.
The shape of the work
The 1980s belonged to Bhagwaan Dada; the 2010s to Kites. Never on the same side of the camera — Hrithik Roshan actor, Rakesh Roshan director, across all 6 films. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Rakesh Roshan was so nervous about launching his son Hrithik that he shot Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000) in complete secrecy. He didn't even tell the crew Hrithik was his son until the last day of shooting.
- On Koi... Mil Gaya (2003), Rakesh would act out every scene first — including the alien's movements — and Hrithik would copy him exactly. That's why Hrithik's Rohit feels like a direct extension of his father's imagination.
- Koi... Mil Gaya (2003) didn't just launch India's first sci-fi superhero franchise — it also made Hrithik the first Bollywood star to have a wax statue at Madame Tussauds London in 2007, directly because of the film's global visibility.
- Rakesh Roshan has said he never gave Hrithik a single acting tip on set. Their rule was: Rakesh directs, Hrithik acts. No father-son talk during work hours. They'd only discuss the film at home over dinner.
- "He is the only director who can push me to a place I didn't know existed. He knows my fears better than I do." — Hrithik Roshan on Rakesh Roshan, during Krrish 3 promotions (2013).
