It is always a pleasure to see Hrithik Roshan on the big screen. But when Krrish 3 came, a part of the cinefiles said that Rakesh Roshan may have chosen Shahid Kapoor to play the lead role as Hrithik was being repeated. Now, veteran Bollywood actor Gajraj Rao shared his two cents on the matter.
Talking to the filmigan, the Dabba Cartel actor said that filmmaking is not social work nor the producers have moral obligations to anyone. Citing the example of Ace director Satyajit Ray, Rao further said that he also made films with almost the same actors such as working for years, they do well.
When it came to Rakesh Roshan, people said that he gave his son a role. Some also suggested that Shahid Kapoor should have played the role of Krrish. But it is not how things work. Talking about his mind, Badhai Ho said, “Unka Paisa Hai, Unka Kaam Hai, Unki Creativity Hai, Uske andar Hrithik Fit Hota Hai. I feel like it is inside it. Repeat Kuch Nhi Hota. This is the hard work of the maker. (This is his money, his name, his creativity and for him, Hrithik fits in the above role. I think it is foolish in saying. Nothing is repeated, this is the hard work and vision of the manufacturer.) “
As Gajraj Rao, the actor will be seen next time in the upcoming comedy series, Dupahiya. Directed by Sonam Nair, it will be released on 7 March 2025 on Amazon Prime Video. Apart from Rao, the show also stars Renuka Shahen, Bhuvan Arora, Sparsh Srivastava, Shivani Raghuvanshi and Yashpal Sharma.
