Rakesh Roshan: “I advised Hrithik not to be scared of failures at all”
With his home production, ‘Kaabil’ starring Hrithik Roshan and Yami Guatam, all set for release on 25th January, Rakesh Roshan is confident that the movie will do well owing to the wonderfully woven script that has a strong emotional string and, according to him; this is the success mantra for a hit at the box office.
‘Kaabil’ revolves around a visually impaired couple and Rakesh went on to say, “Undeniably, superficial tales fail to allure the audiences. Sultan, Neerja, Pink and Dangal, are some recent examples, which did well at the B.O., simply owing to the emotional connect. Basically, nothing has changed. Unless the film has the emotional connect, it does not appeal to the audiences,” says Roshan, who catches a new film in the theatres every Friday. “The day we stop learning is the last day for us.”
The father and son collaboration once again will prove to be a hit as Rakesh went on to expand, reports The Asian Age. “We always like to conclude our discussions on a positive note. We do not have any ego hassles. In fact, I always like to hear from the new generation. He has assisted me in almost four or five films.” It helps that they understand each other. “He knows that for my films, scenic locales play an important part. For example, if I need a boat for a scene, he knows that I will go to any extent to get the best boat from anywhere in the world. He only insists that I add a contemporary touch to my songs,” he said.
Although currently Rakesh is in agreement that Hrithik is not seeing the best of times. “I advised Hrithik not to be scared of failures at all. I have seen tough times as well so when a few of his films didn’t do well at the initial stages, I told him to just work hard, and that he will bounce back in a way that, sab ki ankhen khuli ki khuli reh jayegi (everyone will marvel wide-eyed at his achievements).” He went on to conclude, “We Roshans are a close-knit family – that is the strength. During the rougher times, we remain stable, unmoved and above all, being a family with a strong bond, is the biggest strength. Bad times never last and as long as you have family solidarity.”
