Rakesh Roshan on SRK and Hrithik

In a throwback interview, Rakesh Roshan was praising Shah Rukh Khan for his growth as an actor. Rakesh had collaborated with SRK for Karan Arjun and Koyla. In an interview, Rakesh once called SRK a mature actor and he has become confident. Hrithik Roshan's dad talked about Khan's growth and how he has done movies of all genres: comedy, action, and romance. The producer called SRK an accomplished and complete actor.

Further in this entertainment news, the Krrish director said, Moreover, he is a very good person; he has a good heart, is very down-to-earth, and is not a complicated person. I have never seen him lose his temper. After Koyla, I did not cast Shah Rukh Khan in any film because Hrithik Roshan had come into films by then (laughs), so I made Kaho Na... Pyaar Hai with him. Had Hrithik Roshan not been in films, I would have kept making films with Shah Rukh."

Soon, we will see SRK praise the Roshan family's cinematic legacy in a documentary titled The Roshans. It also features Rakesh Roshan, Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, and others. The documentary will release on Netflix on January 17, 2025. Speaking of Hrithik, we will see him this year in the action-packed spy thriller War 2. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, it also stars Jr NTR and Kiara Advani.
