Hrithik Roshan talks about his time as an assistant director on Karan Arjun, including memories of Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan.

Hrithik Roshan is well-known for his work as an assistant director on his father Rakesh Roshan’s 1990 blockbuster Karan Arjun. Now he has provided proof of this. Hrithik shared a couple of photos from the sets of the 1995 movie on Instagram.

The photographs show him alongside Karan Arjun’s principal actors, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. Hrithik wrote in the post, “The Karan Arjun experience. Ha, I look like a young Kabir with Karan and Arjun . As an assistant , I remember minerva being the main theatre on release day. Me and dad’s other assistant Anurag ( 2nd pic in the white sweatshirt)), screened the print before the release and we were all incredibly disappointed . The print looked dark and dull. We got the the entire screen washed and as the dirt and grime dissolved into the large washcloth, we heard the manager say “’आज १५ सालों के बाद यह स्क्रीन धुली है (The screen was washed for the first time in 25 years).’”

He further added, “Another fun fact, during the song bhangda paale, one late night, a more than merry team of Shahrukh and Salman decided to leave Sariska by car and drive to Delhi promising to be back by morning. I was flabbergasted and jumped (literally) on the bonnet of the car to stop them. The call time was 6am and I had to make sure my dad doesn’t lose the day. He didn’t.”

“Watching Salman and Shahrukh act was a huge learning for me as a 17yr old. Best on set practical acting school ever. KARAN ARJUN is running in theatres again.” He conclude.

Rakesh Roshan re-released Karan Arjun on November 22, just ahead of its 30th anniversary in January.

Roshan stated that his son, Hrithik Roshan, who started with “Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai” in 2000 and is one of the most successful performers of his generation, would frequently assist him in all his projects.
