Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna, best known for his iconic role as 'Shaktimaan,' recently shared a memorable moment with Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan.
During a chat on Shardul Pandit's podcast, he shed light upon the encounter that took place at an airport, where the two actors met unexpectedly. Khanna fondly remembered Hrithik's warm and humble nature.

During their meeting, Hrithik acknowledged the significance of both their roles as superheroes in Indian entertainment. He shared that they represented two of India's most beloved superheroes, Krrish and Shaktimaan, standing together.
Khanna said, "I love Hrithik Roshan very much; he is a genuine person. Once we met at an airport, and he told me that now India's two superheroes, Krrish and Shaktimaan, are standing together."
This gesture was a sign of mutual respect between two actors who have played a big role in shaping the superhero genre in India.

Hrithik Roshan is renowned for his portrayal of 'Krrish' in the hit sci-fi franchise, which has redefined the superhero genre in Indian cinema. Meanwhile, 'Shaktimaan' remains a nostalgic symbol of childhood for many Indian viewers, having aired in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
This gesture was not just a compliment but a sign of mutual respect between two actors who have played pivotal roles in shaping the superhero genre in India.

Now, Hrithik Roshan is set to make his directorial debut with 'Krrish 4,' the fourth installment of the beloved superhero franchise. The 'Krrish' franchise began with Koi… Mil Gaya in 2003, a sci-fi film that introduced Rohit Mehra, a young man with cognitive disabilities who gains superhuman abilities after befriending an alien named Jadoo. The series gained momentum with 'Krrish' and 'Krrish 3,' both of which were major box office successes.
Priyanka Chopra is reportedly returning to the franchise, reprising her role as Priya Mehra.
Apart from that, he is currently working on the upcoming spy action thriller 'War 2,' starring alongside Jr. NTR.
