Some excerpts of the interview Rakesh Roshan gave in Indian Express after the release of Krrish.
"He's one of the finest actors we have in the country today. I want to show the world what all he's capable of doing," says the proud father. Hrithik is also the reason why Papa Roshan will never go back to acting. "I see myself in my son. I am happy directing him," he says. Roshan attributes the success of his ventures to the rapport he shares with Hrithik."
My comments ala the mid-day journalist: So does Mr. Roshan mean that other actors are not as good and capable as Hrithik? Why is he making such haughty comments? If his son is capable then viewers will take note of it.
Another piece appeared in IndiaFM:
"IndiaFM has learnt from unnamed Bollywood sources that Rakesh has turned megalomaniac since the success of Kaho Na Pyar Hai. Roshan Sr. has sued Archies for selling Hrithik's photos without paying him royalty. He is demanding obscene sums of money for anything related to Hrithik. It has earned Roshan Sr. the ire of entire film and trade fraternity. Sources said that these unwise steps may turn Hrithik's fans against him and he may loose his popular appeal, appearing a greedy and heartless ogre."
(My comments above in Red are not my exact sentiments but just an example on how these so called journalists twist the words to sell their paper. What sells for one paper becomes the hot news for all.)
