Strap: The Roshans are the only father-son team that has
ruled Bollywood for 16 years at a stretch
Actors and filmmakers have often become synonymous with
quality. Some others have been synonymous with box office magic. But rarely do you come across a team that has
hit a sixer everytime they have come together.
Maker of several blockbusters, Rakesh Roshan and his
superstar son Hrithik Roshan are one such lethal combination.
Roshan senior and HR's journey began 16 years ago, in
January 2000 to be precise with Kaho Na pyaar Hai. Not only did the film rewrite box office
history, it also went on to feature in the Limca Book of Records as the film
that picked up the maximum number of awards.
From there on, this team has rewritten ticket sale
records several times over. Whether it
is Koi Mil Gaya or their Krrish franchise, they have grown from strength to
strength in the last decade and a half.
And now as they stand on the treshold of Kaabil, their
January 25, 2017 film, there is a palpable sense of excitement in the trade.
Says Rakesh Roshan, who has produced Kaabil directed by
Sanjay Gupta, ``Hrithik and I work as a team because on set both of us are
professionals. We are fully aware of the
father-son equation at all times. But, the
beauty of our combination is that when it comes to a film, we are so persceptive
and aligned in our thought process that it almost, always works for the
betterment of our film. Take Kaabil for
instance. Everytime there was a dilemma,
I found Hrithik and I were thinking on similar lines. even our director Sanjay Gupta was in alignment
with us.''
Talking of why he loves working with his son, the
filmmaker adds, ``Hrithik has worked as an assistant on my films before he
became my lead actor. He therefore knows my cinema as well as I do. Another
point I must make is that he is one of the most disciplined and talented actors
I have worked with. Naturally I have now
grown dependent on him for all my movies.
Here again, let me tell you this is not so much a personal thing. It is also a professional thing because as I
said, as father and son, we have consistently proved that our combination works
as much at home as it does at the box-office.''
