Summary
- Hrithik Roshan's father Rakesh Roshan was an objective director.
- Roshan secretly re-added deleted scenes from his debut film.
- Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai made Hrithik an overnight star in 2000.
Actor Hrithik Roshan recounted an amusing tale from the editing process of his breakthrough film, 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai'. He described his father, director Rakesh Roshan, as a highly objective filmmaker who didn't hesitate to cut even the best shots of his son.
Roshan revealed that he would often find himself behind his father during editing sessions, witnessing his own favored shots being removed. This led him to secretly return to the editing studio after hours. With a key to the room, he would reinstate his deleted scenes, seeking the editor's validation.
He explained how he would then have the editor present the scene to his father without mentioning his clandestine involvement. Rakesh Roshan, upon seeing the re-added shots, would eventually accept them, often with a knowing glance.
'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai,' released in 2000, propelled both Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel to stardom. The film, a romantic thriller directed by Rakesh Roshan, featured Hrithik in a dual role and achieved significant commercial success, solidifying his status as a Bollywood icon.
