00:00 Hrithik Roshan remembers a moment when someone close to his father, Rakesh Roshan, advised

00:05 against making the movie Kahona Pyar Hai, which came out in 2000.

00:09 This person suggested that the film shouldn't be Hrithik's first movie.

00:12 "In my first film, Kahona Pyar Hai, I won't reveal who it was, but someone told my dad

00:17 not to produce this film for various reasons.

00:19 They thought it shouldn't be my first movie.

00:22 At the beginning, I kind of agreed a little.

00:24 This was before we started filming, before everything was ready.

00:28 We still had the script, but after that conversation, my dad became even more determined to bring

00:33 this film to life.

00:34 He believed deeply in this project and was determined to make it," the actor shared

00:39 in an interview with Film Companion.

00:42 Hrithik went on to elaborate on his father's perspective, saying, "He's really strong

00:47 inside.

00:48 He's certain when he decides something.

00:50 When he asks his colleagues or my friends for advice, it's just to gather different

00:54 opinions.

00:55 He's genuinely interested in hearing what others think.

00:57 This process either gives him more confidence with positive feedback or even in the face

01:02 of criticism, makes him stronger.

01:05 He gains something either way.

01:06 It's a truly admirable quality to have.

01:09 It all depends on how confident you are as a person and as a filmmaker."

01:13 Kahona Pyar Hai featured Hrithik alongside Aneesha Patel, who also made her acting debut

01:25 in the film.

01:26 Directed by Rakesh Roshan, the movie turned out to be a massive success at the box office,

01:31 establishing itself as a blockbuster hit.

01:34 Hrithik had told Galata Plus, "My father told me time and time again, 'I am not going to

01:39 make a film for you.

01:41 You're on your own.'

01:42 So I was doing screen tests.

01:44 I did a couple of them.

01:45 I was looking for work.

01:46 When he heard that I was doing screen tests and was getting offers, maybe he sat down

01:51 one day and thought, 'Yeh kya ho raha hai?

01:54 Am I losing out?'

01:58 That and he was making a film at that time with Shahrukh or Aamir, which fell through.

02:03 And he had another thought.

02:05 And while he was working on the scripting of that film with all writers, and I was part

02:10 of this process, someone weeks into it, everyone started feeling that this film needs a new

02:15 boy or new girl.

02:17 You have seen big stars do these roles.

02:19 And even I was a part of that.

02:21 That noise.

02:22 Then I was like, 'Yes, papa, I don't want to see Shahrukh do this.'

02:26 And when this got very repetitive, he said, 'That's not what I had in mind.

02:30 I am taking you in the film.'
