Rakesh Roshan launched his son
Hrithik Roshan in Bollywood 25 years ago with Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, which became a huge hit and made Hrithik an overnight star. After working together on several films, the father-son duo has now come together on screen again after a long gap.
The Ad: A Trip Down Memory LaneHrithik and Rakesh Roshan have come together on screen for the first time in an advertisement, starring in a commercial for a vehicle lubricant brand. The ad begins with Hrithik whistling the iconic Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai tune while refueling his car. When a friend asks if he’s ever looked back at how far he’s come, Hrithik says, “Not yet.” The ad then follows the duo on a nostalgic road trip to where it all began. As they admire the scenic view, Rakesh joins Hrithik and asks, “How was your journey?” Hrithik responds with just one word: “Unforgettable.”
