Reports circulating for some time have hinted at Shashi Ranjan taking the directorial reins for a documentary chronicling the illustrious seven-decade journey of the Roshan family in the film industry. The documentary is expected to delve into the legacy of Hrithik Roshan’s grandfather, the renowned music director Roshan, Rakesh Roshan’s directorial contributions, Rajesh Roshan’s musical prowess, and, of course, Hrithik’s acting career.
Now, Rakesh Roshan has officially confirmed these speculations by sharing a photo alongside Shah Rukh Khan, revealing that the acclaimed actor has participated in the making of this documentary titled ‘The Roshans.’ The collaboration holds sentimental value, given SRK’s past collaborations with Rakesh Roshan in iconic films like ‘Karan Arjun’ and ‘Koyla.’ Rakesh Roshan expressed gratitude to Shah Rukh Khan, stating, “Thank you Shahrukh for your love, warmth & contribution to ‘The Roshans.'”
Fans took to social media to react to the shared photo. Some reminisced about the golden era of ‘Karan Arjun’ and ‘Koyla,’ while others expressed relief that the rumored rift between the Roshans and Shah Rukh Khan seems to have been resolved. One user remarked, “Wish Kaabil & Raees hadn’t clashed…,” and another mentioned, “Raees vs Kaabil war ended badiya badiya ????.”
The history of strained relations dates back to the simultaneous release of SRK’s ‘Raees’ and Hrithik’s ‘Kaabil,’ sparking rumors of discord between the two parties. Rakesh Roshan had previously accused exhibitors of not adhering to the 50-50 screen allocation rule, adding fuel to the speculations.
Addressing future projects, Rakesh Roshan revealed his ongoing work on the script for ‘Krrish 4,’ emphasizing the need to ensure the next installment does justice to the successful franchise, even if it takes time. On the other hand, Shah Rukh Khan, after a triumphant year with ‘Pathaan,’ ‘Jawan,’ and ‘Dunki,’ was slated to commence Sujoy Ghosh’s next project in March or April 2024. However, recent reports suggest that he might have opted out of the movie.
