In Short

• Actor Hrithik Roshan recently recalled working with the legendary Rajinikanth
• He called Rajinikanth gentle and supportive
• The two had worked together briefly in Bhagwaan Dada

Here is a little-known fact: Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan and superstar Rajinikanth have shared screen space in the past. The two collaborated briefly on the film Bhagwaan Dada. At the time, Hritihk was quite young. Speaking at the recently held trailer launch of the Netflix documentary, The Roshans, Hrithik recalled their time on set and said that he would behave very differently with Rajinikanth if they get to work together again.

Commenting on a photograph of the two of them from the time, Hrithik said, "This is the photo of a very ignorant, foolish little boy who had no idea that he was standing with the greatest legend of all time. For me, he was Rajini uncle, I had my way with him. Today, if I get a chance to work with him, I will be very different. I will realise the burden and the weight of the moment, that I am sharing screen space with him, my god. He is so so gentle and so giving."

"Whenever I used to make a mistake, my grandfather used to cut the shot and Rajini sir used to take the blame. So, that I, a child, would not become conscious," he added as the audience applauded.

Meanwhile, The Roshans is an exclusive docu-series which offers a closer peek into the Roshan family, featuring Rakesh Roshan, Rajesh Roshan and Hrithik Roshan. It will premiere on January 17 on Netflix.
