Sonali Kulkarni reveals she had no reservations about playing 'struggler' Hrithik Roshan's mother in Mission Kashmir at 25 but was more concerned about being Sanjay Dutt's wife

Sonali Kulkarni, who played Hrithik Roshan‘s foster mother in the 2000 film Mission Kashmir directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, shared her experience of working with the actor when he was still new to the industry. Sonali, who was 25 at the time, mentioned she didn’t even realize initially that she would be playing Hrithik’s mother on screen. Speaking with Siddharth Kannan, Sonali discussed how she…

Ram Gopal Varma's Surprising Take on Hrithik Roshan's Stardom Journey

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma recently offered an unexpected insight into Hrithik Roshan’s rise to stardom, revealing that he didn’t anticipate the actor’s success when he first saw him. Varma highlighted how the industry, including himself, had reservations about Hrithik’s potential before his debut film.

In a candid video shared on his YouTube channel, Varma admitted, “When I saw Hrithik Roshan, I didn’t think he would become a star. Most of the industry also did not think, because of which they didn’t sign him.” He emphasized that Hrithik’s breakthrough came with the massive success of his debut film, “Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai” (2000), which subsequently garnered attention and admiration for the actor.

Reflecting on his own filmmaking journey, Varma addressed questions about his recent lack of success. He acknowledged the unpredictability of the industry, stating, “Forget about the number of flops I’ve made. The fact that if you knew it, why would you make a flop? It is as simple as that.” Varma’s remarks shed light on the complexities of filmmaking and the inherent uncertainties faced by creators.

Despite initial doubts, Hrithik Roshan has undoubtedly proven himself as a versatile and bankable actor in the industry, delivering blockbuster hits such as “War” and “Super 30.” His latest project, “Fighter,” further solidifies his status as a box office magnet, grossing over Rs 300 crore worldwide.

Varma’s reflections offer a fascinating glimpse into the ever-evolving landscape of Bollywood and the intriguing dynamics between talent, perception, and success.

24 Years of Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai: Rakesh Roshan talks about the challenge of shooting the cruise scenes; reveals how he calmed down irate passengers: “Our dancers put up a wonderful show; I even told the captain to serve them liquor on my account”

Hrithik Roshan, who turned 50 on January 10, completes 24 years in the industry today. His debut film, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, was released on this very day, January 14, 2000. It went on to become that year’s biggest hit, collecting Rs. 44.27 crores. Hrithik’s popularity and dashing looks attracted the audience into cinemas in hordes but what also worked was that the film had a great story to tell and was aided by chartbuster songs. The cruise track was entertaining and shoot-wise, the layman might not have considered it a challenge. However, executing this track was a herculean task and director Rakesh Roshan pulled it off due to a tremendous amount of planning in advance. The blockbuster filmmaker spoke about this in detail in an interview to Komal Nahta’s Film Information magazine dated December 5, 1998.

Rakesh Roshan revealed in this interview that he opted for the Star Clipper cruise as it seemed ideal for his shoot and didn't look like a 5-star hotel in the sea. The plan was to shoot for 22 days, which included 9 days on the ship in the middle of the ocean with a unit of 85 people. He said, “Given the logistics involved, only an insane person would embark on such a shooting without due planning. Hence, I spent months working out the nitty gritties of the shooting schedule and only when I was certain that nothing could go wrong did I finally begin shooting.”

Rakesh Roshan also added in the beginning that he just didn't arrange the requirements for the shooting but also kept in mind any trouble that might crop up during the shoot and how to counter it. After his request, Star Clipper had a stopover in Mumbai, on October 29. Rakesh took the shots of people boarding the ship and also loaded the equipment. This is when he realized that while his equipment needed a 220-volt power supply, the power fixtures fitted on the ship were designed for an electrical supply of 110 volts, which is standard in the USA. The stopover in Mumbai helped him address this issue. He got a custom-made generator set and also loaded it on the ship. Rakesh Roshan then revealed, “On November 6, my entire unit and I flew to Colombo and boarded Star Clipper from there. The entire contingent of 82 people, including 35 dancers, could cause quite a commotion, especially if they are shooting. The passengers on the ship began to get a little irritable and understandably so, as they were there on holiday and our activity was robbing some of their pleasure. I had envisaged that something like this might occur and hence had told my dancers to be ready to bail us out if need be. So, on day 2, I asked the ship’s captain to announce a special entertainment programme for the passengers. Our dancers and artists put up such a wonderful show that our fellow passengers just couldn’t help having a great time. I even told the captain to serve them liquor on my account. In my own small way, I was asking them to bear with us for a few days and most of the passengers appreciated the gesture. They loved Indian music and dance so much that they requested us for repeat performances on subsequent nights. We obliged and soon found most of the passengers beginning to get really excited about our shooting. They became so co-operative that when it rained a couple of days later and we were forced to shoot indoors in the bar area (one of the most popular spots on the ship), everyone cleared the place for us without even a grumble.”

Once the on-board issues were solved, Rakesh Roshan successfully overcame other challenges too. He had to shoot aerial shots of the ship while it was in the middle of the sea. These were the days when there was no drone and the director had to shoot it from a helicopter. The nearest centre that offered a helicopter on hire was Bangkok, five hours away.

Rakesh Roshan stated, “On my trip to Bangkok prior to the shooting, I had worked out the problem by locating the small island of Maiton which was situated nearer to Bangkok. I also surveyed the island and found a suitable place where a helicopter could land in the absence of a helipad. Having done this much, all that remained to be done was to inform the helicopter crew about the exact time Star Clipper would sail past Maiton, so they could make all preparations for the aerial shooting. I found out from the captain that our ship would pass Maiton at 6 am on November 13. Accordingly, I instructed the helicopter crew to reach Maiton by the 12th evening and start preparing. On the other hand, since I was to be in the helicopter during the shooting, I left detailed instructions for the shots with choreographer Farah Khan who would be handling things during my temporary absence. Come 13th morning and we all had our fingers crossed. With no other communication with the helicopter crew since issuing instructions, we just prayed that everything would go as planned. And sure enough, we spotted our helicopter at the precise hour. Just as Star Clipper neared Maiton, Kabir Laal (cameraman) and I got onto a speed boat and left for the island. When he reached ashore, we found the helicopter crew waiting in all readiness. We quickly got into the helicopter and took off. After gaining the required height, I signalled to Farah Khan that we were ready to take the shot. She positioned everyone as per my prior instructions. One by one, we canned all the required shots in quick succession and landed back on Maiton. Now, we had to get back aboard Star Clipper which had sailed quite a distance past Maiton. We got onto the speed boat again and raced after the ship. It took us nearly four hours to locate Star Clipper and finally, we boarded it again. We reached Phuket the next day."

Rakesh Roshan also credited the captain of the ship in this interview, “He extended all possible help to us during the shooting. At the very outset, he had told me, ‘Rakkkesh, do what you want, just don’t sink the ship!’” In the film’s beginning slides, Miss Anjie McFarlane, Captain Jurgan and Captain Shamim have been duly thanked.

The sequence where Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel’s characters are marooned where shot at Krabi Island near Phuket, Thailand. Rakesh Roshan also shot for the underwater scene here, which was presumably the one where Rohit (Hrithik Roshan) is killed in an accident.

On this, Rakesh Roshan said, “The underwater shots were very tricky in the sense that Hrithik had to remain 30 ft. under the sea for nearly 45 minutes. Before the shots, a trained diving instructor explained the basics of diving to Hrithik — things like how to use the oxygen mask and so on. Fortunately, Hrithik had undergone a scuba diving course in Miami, USA, just for a lark a few months ago. So, he caught on pretty fast. Yet, at the end of the entire underwater sequence, I felt proud of Hrithik. Remaining underwater for so long required a great deal of guts more than anything else as anything could have gone wrong at any time."

Rakesh Roshan signed off by exulting, “Unlike some of our other directors, who claimed to have spent 15 crores on their film, even 50% of which didn’t show in it, in KNPH, you will be able to see every single penny I have spent on the film. There is absolutely no wastage in my film.”

Throwback: When a section of the industry speculated that Hrithik Roshan’s Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and Aamir Khan’s Mann were based on Titanic

The much-loved Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai completed 24 years yesterday. It was released in cinemas on January 14, 2000, and was the biggest hit of that year. Debutant Hrithik Roshan became a superstar overnight and continues to rule even today. Though the actress opposite him, Ameesha Patel, was also a newcomer, the film was in the news even before its release. In fact, more than 25 years ago, there were even rumours that the Rakesh Roshan-directorial is based on the Hollywood blockbuster, Titanic (1997)!

This interesting bit of information was mentioned in Komal Nahta’s magazine Film Information dated June 27, 1998. It mentioned that as per rumours in the film industry, not just Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai but also Aamir Khan-Manisha Koirala starrer Mann (1999) was Titanic’s remake. The article debunked the myth and also said that the only similarity between the Hindi films and Titanic was that they were being shot aboard a ship. Since Titanic was also set on a ship, probably some people put two and two together and spread the speculation. A major section of Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai was set on a ship in the first half. The film was the story of Rohit (Hrithik Roshan) and Sonia (Ameesha Patel) who meet in Mumbai and later on a cruise ship. Due to an interesting turn of events, both are stranded on an island where they fall in love. In an interview to Komal Nahta’s Film Information magazine dated December 5, 1998, Rakesh Roshan spoke in detail about why he chose the Star Clipper ship of the USA and the challenges he faced in shooting on board and taking the aerial shots mid-sea. Bollywood Hungama published excerpts of this interview on January 14.

Mann, meanwhile, directed by Indra Kumar was about Dev (Aamir Khan) and Priya (Manisha Koirala). Both meet each other on a cruise and though they were engaged to their respective partners, sparks flew between them. The musical entertainer was shot on Sun Cruises in Singapore.

As for Titanic, it was directed by James Cameron and told the story of Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio), a poor artist and his love affair with Rose (Kate Winslet) aboard an ill-fated ship in 1912. It was based on accounts of the sinking of RMS Titanic though it was also extensively fictionalized. The disaster film was a blockbuster across the world. In India, it stunned one and all as it did exceedingly well despite not being dubbed in Hindi for almost a year. As per the Film Information issue dated August 22, 1998, Titanic was the first ever English film to have completed 25 weeks in more than 10 centres in India. It recorded footfalls of nearly 2.5 crores which is higher than many of the big hits of today. The report stated, “It has also been the first English film to have run to full houses for its first 10 weeks. What is more remarkable is the fact that Titanic achieved such a huge success despite having only 86 prints in circulation, and all in the original (English) version! In fact, the collections of Titanic in India are the fourth highest in the whole of Asia, after Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.”

The Grace Behind the Glamour: Hrithik Roshan's Better Half

In the world of Bollywood, where every celebrity's life is as much a subject of interest as their on-screen performances, the partners of these stars often share the limelight. While Hrithik Roshan's life, both personal and professional, has captivated millions, there is a keen interest in knowing about his better half, the woman who shared a part of this journey with him—Sussanne Khan.

Sussanne Khan: An Introduction

Sussanne Khan is a well-known interior designer and entrepreneur, with a rich heritage in the Bollywood industry. She is the daughter of veteran actor Sanjay Khan, and her design aesthetic is a reflection of her artistic background. Her innate sense of style and sophistication has made her a name to reckon with in the world of interior design.

The Journey Together

Hrithik and Sussanne's story began in the 2000s, sharing what many saw as a fairy tale romance. They got married on 20th December 2000, following the massive success of Hrithik's debut film "Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai." For the next several years, Sussanne Roshan was not just the wife of a superstar but a partner who walked hand in hand with him through the ebbs and flows of life.

Venturing into Independence

While Sussanne embraced her role as Hrithik Roshan's wife, she never let go of her individuality or professional aspirations. Founding her own interior design store, The Charcoal Project, in Mumbai, she made a name for herself within her passion and field. The store brought together her refined style and understanding of space, catering to high-end clients and establishing her independent identity in design.

Philanthropy and Community

Aside from her professional accomplishments, Sussanne has also been active in various philanthropic endeavours. Her commitment to community service and charitable causes has shown her to be an individual with depth and compassion, values that were undoubtedly appreciated within her marriage to Hrithik.

The Role of Support

Throughout Hrithik Roshan's stellar career, Sussanne remained a source of support. Her appearance at film premieres, red-carpet events, and award shows alongside Hrithik was a testament to their partnered strength and mutual respect for one another's careers.

Courage Amidst Adversity

However, in 2014, Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan announced their decision to separate, a move that shocked fans and the industry alike. Despite this life-changing decision, both Hrithik and Sussanne have handled their separation with great dignity and have remained friends. Their joint priority remains the wellbeing of their two sons, Hrehaan and Hridhaan, and they are often seen celebrating special occasions together as a family.

Conclusion

Although Sussanne and Hrithik's romantic partnership has ended, their bond appears strong and rooted in mutual respect. It's refreshing to see how both individuals maintain a positive relationship and family environment post-divorce, truly an enlightened and progressive approach.

Their story, while perhaps not ending in forever togetherness, still holds lessons in partnership—emphasizing individual growth, mutual respect, and grace, even in separation. As fans continue to admire Hrithik Roshan's on-screen magic, they also respect and acknowledge the quiet strength and poise of Sussanne Khan, both as the former Mrs. Roshan and as the formidable individual she remains.

[tsupertsundere]

HELLOO. i see you reblog a lot of hindi cinema!! i would love to watch more of it, what are your top 10 favorites?

🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍

this might be my favorite thing I've received in my inbox.

wh I well I wh how could I possibly refuse hee hee hee hee

limiting this to hindi cinema helps!! or so I thought, before I went through several rounds of intense interrogation and several scribbled pages of notes and realized this just outs me as a baby shah rukh khan stan, which I am. I resisted every impulse to try to make the list broad and varied and kept only repeating 'what are your FAVORITES, what are your FAVORITES' and even then narrowing everything down was really painful... I feel like I've watched very many but then not very many at all.

There are another half-dozen more I had to cut with great anguish (Paheli, Ram-Jaane, the Don films) OMG EDITED TO FINISH MY FRIGGIN SENTENCE: BUT I PRESENT TO YOU AND TO ALL: VI TSUPERTSUNDERE'S TOP TEN:

Mohabbatein ("Love Stories", dir Aditya Chopra, 2000)

A young men's college ruled by a headmaster who disdains love--can one music teacher help three love stories grow, and let love tower above all? ✫ My first hindi film. Still can't think of a better introduction. Truly has it all. My favorite ghost story also!! ✧ Standout number: the three ingenues have an incredible dance sequence - it's the emotional climax of the film for me.

Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai ("Say You Love Me", dir Rakesh Roshan, 2000)

When Rohit, an aspiring musician, meets Saxena, a rich bussinessman's daughter, his dreams of stardom glimmer right within his reach. Life has other plans. ✩ Hrithik Roshan's debut - and what a debut! My first introduction to a beloved facet of hindi cinema - double roles!! ✫ Standout number: The number that takes place in Cafe Indiana, Ek Pal Ka Jeena, accurately conveys how it felt like to go to a Rainforest Cafe when I was very young. Truly thrilling!

Muhjse Dosti Karoge! ("Will You Be My Friend!", dir Kunal Kohli, 2002)

Childhood friends Raj, Tina, and Pooja are caught in a classic love triangle - Pooja loves Raj, but he only has eyes for Tina. When he moves away, Pooja poses as Tina as they email back and forth and their friendship blossoms long-distance. A decision made in childhood brings problems to Pooja's doorstep - as they all graduate high school and become adults, Raj returns home... ✧ Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor are the real MVPs here - shining stars in every movie they're in. ✩ Standout Sequence: The medley, seen above, brought me to my fucking feet when we first watched it. The characters diagetically are singing these popular songs for each other at a wedding celebrations - each song's lyrics weave in and apply on multiple levels, depending on who knows what and what they mean, up to and including Hrithik Roshan reprising Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai! Genuinely one of my favorite sequences I've seen period on film, if I could ever put together anything half as layered I'd be patting myself on the back forever.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... ("Through Smiles and Through Tears", dir Karan Johar, 2001)

The wealthy Raichand family splits in half when elder son Rahul falls in love with a lower-caste girl and marries her - younger son Rohit watches his beloved brother disappear to England and the light in his home wither away. When he becomes an adult, he's determined to find his brother and unite them all again. ✫ These three fuckers as a dad and two sons just make a fascinating family together, let alone the kind of heavy hitting talent you get from Jaya Bachchan (indeed married to Amitji) and of course Kajol my beloved Kajol most of all. 'It's All About Loving Your Parents' is a much much much... much harder sell than I'm prepared to give - at the very least, it's all the drama I can watch in. ✫ Standout Sequence: Bole Chudiyan above is so much fun, of course, but Say Shava Shava is also a really great 'here's how fun things are when things are GOOD' establishing song. When Amitji says 'EVERYBODY' he is not asking!!

Those four films are a truncated highlight reel of the 8 or so films I like watching around the holidays!! They work really well together and I associate them with each other a lot.

Darr ("Fear", dir Yash Chopra, 1993)

Kiran Awasthi has a freshly minted college degree, a bus ticket home, a beloved boyfriend in the Navy... and a stalker. A young woman is slowly driven mad by a ruthless specter who will stop at nothing to be by her side. As she and her boyfriend escalate... so does he. ✧ Truly breathtaking. A breakout role for SRK, another hit cementing Juhi Chawla my fucking beloved Juhi Chawla as the OG expression queen. My favorite horror film. Rahul Mehra deserves to be in Dead By Daylight so he can fight Leon in a twink off. Simply the bloodiest there is. My Halloween costume next year. ✩ Standout sequence: Any time Juhi Chawla is on screen and I'm not kidding.

Chaahat ("Desire", dir Mahesh Bhatt, 1996)

When the father of a father-and-son comedy duo gets sick, his son, Roop, would do anything to secure the money he needs to restore his father's health. So when he catches the eye of a wealthy club owner's sister, he can't say no, no matter how much her desire consumes... ✫ Diametric opposite of Darr, now Shah Rukh Khan is the target!! As a carnivore girl lover I can't not adore it. ✧ Standout sequence: Chaahat Na Hoti, pictured above. This was the frame that made me sit up and go 'oh I have to... I gotta watch this movie right now. Right now.' And I was so right.

Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani ("Yet, I Have the Heart of an Indian", dir Aziz Mirza, 2000)

Ajay Bakshi is a hotheaded, loudmouthed reporter - a rival media network hires his counterpart and superior, Ria Bannerjee, to try to take him down. ✫ A gag-a-minute comedy with more gumflaps than brains, just like our lead. Juhi is heaven in this. I can only describe this as 'I think this is what the guy from American Psycho THOUGHT was going on.' Was a flop - came out right after Kaho Na... Pyaar Hai and couldn't compete - but it hits the zany button like nothing else. ✧ Standout sequence: The inventiveness of the sets in pretty much every song is my favorite. CONTENT WARNING: There is an awful anti-Chinese gag sequence at about the middle of the film. The two leads pose as Chinese reporters to get into somewhere, and it's just wall to wall racial caricatures. I hit that ff button through it myself, a truly unpleasant marring in an otherwise goofy-ass romp.

Chak de! India ("Let's go! India", dir Shimit Amin, 2007)

Can a disgraced former field hockey star turn 16 proud, contentious players from all over the country into one unified team as their coach? Can each young woman play her all on the field - for herself and for her team? ✩ A sports anime fit into one film, I wish it were several seasons long. Each girl is spectacular and is a joy to watch!! ✫ Standout Sequence: The character work is where this one shines. Bindiya Naik is my personal favorite (and not just because the instant I saw her performance I went 'omg, she's playing my OC almost exactly. I'd cast her in a heartbeat!)

Fan (dir Maneesh Sharma, 2016)

Aryan Khanna is the King of Bollywood. Gaurav Chandna is almost him, but not quite - knows everything about him by heart, uses him as the light in his life, and Gaurav even looks just enough like him to boot. All Gaurav wants is five minutes of his time. Just five minutes... ✩ Eminem's 'Stan' as a feature length thriller that literally no one else could make. I can only quote this letterboxd review, because it's right: "even if there was another celebrity who could pull off tearing himself open to splash his own imposter syndrome onscreen, they wouldn't dare try...happy birthday to the only actor good enough to make his fans sympathize with his own stalker". I was SO upset to learn that this flopped. ✫ Standout Sequences: the practical and special effects used to differentiate SRK's two roles bar none some of the best I've experienced - uncanny valley is real here, and half of the horror is the ALMOST. but not quite.

✫✧✩✫✧✩✫✫✧✩✫✧✩✫

While I followed a loose, non-ranking order for the preceding nine entries, I had to save the only possible film for number one:

Om Shanti Om (dir Farah Khan, 2007)

"30 years ago," irrepressible junior artist Om Prakash Makhija has only one dream grander than making it big in the film industry - to get a chance to act alongside his greatest inspiration, superstar Shanti. His wish comes true, but, well... some dreams, one lifetime is not enough... ✫ THE BEST MOVIE THAT EXISTS. THE BEST MOVIE THAT DOESN'T EXISTS. Don't believe me? Let these ladies convince you - when I learned that somehow The Coolest And Most Sparkling theater troupe on the face of the planet staged a production of this I literally got so lightheaded I couldn't see for a second. This movie came out when I was thirteen - if I had seen it then I think it would have made a huge difference. As it was, I saw it at the second most perfect time: when I was/am also a 30 year old irrepressible junior goofball, just like Om. Farah Khan is one of my favorite directors for certain. A film about the hindi film industry, I place it last also because the more faces you recognize, songs you can pick out, movie references you can catch, the better - and it's incredible even still. ✧ Standout sequence: I can't say the whole movie (... minus Deewangi Deewangi it's the Yakuza 4 of this movie) can I??? Let me just say - long story short, Farah Khan got the idea for this film when Andrew Lloyd Weber had her to choreography for his stage show, Bollywood Dreams. She thought the plot, a poor junior artist becoming a big Bollywood star, was eye-rollingly unrealistic. She could do better, she thought... and that idea eventually became Om Shanti Om. The climax is her proving she could do Phantom of the Opera better than him, too!!

✫✧✩✫✧✩✫✫✧✩✫✧✩✫

And, if you'll indulge me... in thanks for giving me a really fun thing to do today, I have one more film: one that I think you would like, based off of the vibes of the journal entries I got to read!

Veer-Zaara (dir Yash Chopra, 2004)

An Indian pilot and the daughter of a Pakistani politician fall in love, but are wrenched apart when the pilot is imprisoned on false charges. He languishes 22 years in prison, never saying a word, until a young Pakistani lawyer is assigned his case and she is determined to see him freed... ✧ Certified Mom Movie and is an absolute banger. When I thought 'who would be a character who I could see Estelle looking forward to meeting for lunch', Rani Mukherjee's lawyer was right at the top of the list. ✫ Standout Sequence: My personal favorite, Main Yahaan Hoon, is the song linked above. It drives me Insane absolutely Insane - this depicts 'they're not in the room but they're the only thing on your mind' in a way seldom more effective!

✫✧✩✫✧✩✫✫✧✩✫✧✩✫

omg NOW I'm done for eel. This was a terrific exercise in tilling the soil in my brain - I'm really inspired by the all visual direction, the colors and depths, the sensibilities in general exemplified by the movies here, and hope to one day reflect it in my own work! I have to make the Yash Raj reshade shaders I want to see in the world.

Please don't hesitate to drop me a line about anything you find interesting here, other movies you've seen, or anything else! Genuinely truly always love getting to see your work. Thank you for reading!
