I work best with Dad: Hrithik
Feb 16, 2006


Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan, who is doing his third film with his director father, says they work best as a team because there are no egos involved.

Both of Roshan's earlier films with his father Rakesh Roshan "Kaho Na Pyaar Hai" and "Koi Mil Gaya" were runaway hits. They are now working on "Krrish," a sequel to "Koi Mil Gaya" which told the story of a mentally challenged boy who befriends a space alien.

"It's very simple. Dad and I work well together because we've already had the advantage of understanding each other at close quarters. There is no room for egos," Hrithik was quoted as saying by The Times of India newspaper.

"There is a certain invisible line that one can't cross when working with others (for) fear of hurting a person's ego," he said. "There is a formal code which you can't break."

Roshan is one of the most popular actors in Bollywood, based in India's entertainment and financial hub of Bombay.

India's Hindi-language film industry is the largest in the world in terms of viewership and the number of films it produces. The song and dance features are hugely popular even among audiences overseas that do not understand the language.

"I can very easily tell my dad that I don't like the shoot and can we do it this way ... He will in no way look at it as interference and demeaning his talent and authority on the sets and vise versa," Roshan said.

He stayed for months in Hong Kong to prepare for "Krrish," an action thriller, receiving martial arts training from "Hero" action choreographer Tony Ching Siu-tung.

Ching, who also choreographed action sequences for "Krrish," coached Roshan for four to six hours a day, calling his pupil an "excellent student ... dedicated, focused and hardworking."

"Krrish" is scheduled for release later this year.
