Mumbai, March 19 – Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan, who was last seen in the box-office flop ‘War 2’, sought advice from Bollywood multi-talented star Karan Johar.
The actor attended the launch of his two shows, ‘Mess’ and ‘Storm’, at the Prime Video Play event on Thursday. As he took to the stage, he spoke with KJo, calling him the best producer he had ever worked with. He then asked KJo for advice as a producer.
KJo, flattered by his words, then delivered a monologue in which he summarized the actor's cinematic journey.
KJo said, “Let's get some facts straight, you've grown up on film sets. You're the son of Rakesh Roshan, the prolific filmmaker, and you were an assistant director for many years before you made your biggest silver screen debut. I think you've been training your whole life to join the producers' club.”
The actor replied, "I feel a lot better now, thank you for reminding me."
Meanwhile, the OTT series ‘Mess’ follows the story of a group of robbers who invade the house of a man with OCD. They slowly realize that it is them, not the family, who need to survive this one-night standoff.
‘Storm’ tells the story of five women, each with their own wounds, dreams, and deadly secrets, as they are drawn into a web of deception that threatens to crush them or set them free when a sustainable housing project turns into a deadly scam.
Earlier, Hrithik used social media to pay a heartfelt tribute to veteran filmmaker M M Baig, who passed away at his home in Andheri West, Mumbai, at the age of 70. Hrithik shared that he would forever be grateful to the late filmmaker for being a pillar of support for him during his initial days in the industry.
The ‘War’ actor credited M M Baig for helping him with his speech and also playing a crucial role in shaping him as an actor.
