Rakesh Roshan reveals how Hrithik Roshan pulled off the Amitabh Bachchan tribute scene

Hrithik Roshan has left many spellbound with his stupendous act in the second trailer of his upcoming ‘Kaabil’. The trailer of this romantic action thriller is filled with many highlights, one being the scene where Hrithik is seen giving a tribute to megastar Amitabh Bachchan by mimicking his voice. Not many of his fans and moviegoers would believe how Hrithik Roshan managed to pull off this scene by giving his full dedication to it. But recently, his father who is also the producer of ‘Kaabil’, Rakesh Roshan revealed how he and the team of the movie were equally surprised on Hrithik’s act and how he managed to speak exactly like the megastar himself.

In an interview to a leading Bollywood portal, the veteran filmmaker said, “Yes and we were all surprised. Whenever I used to say Hrithik to shoot that scene, he used to cancel it. I don’t know why he used to cancel it. Six times he cancelled the shoot. We used to book the studio and Hrithik used to say I’m not coming today, I am not well. He kept pushing that particular scene. So eventually when the date came, when we completed the film, we had to shoot that scene, so he came. I was not on the sets but I got a phone call form Sanjay that once he started speaking he spoke exactly like Amit Ji and Sanjay was surprised that Amit Ji has come inside or what. Because he was in a different room and they were sitting in a different room.”

“Sanjay called me then and there and said it’s unbelievable Hrithik has done this. Then I asked Hrithik how he managed that, he said that’s why I was postponing because I was playing with my vocal chords to change my voice form last three months and he achieved it,” added Rakesh Roshan.

Wow! Isn’t that incredible and inspiring of Hrithik Roshan?

‘Kaabil’ also stars Yami Gautam, Ronit Roy and Rohit Roy, and is slated to release on January 25, 2017.
