Sunaina Roshan says that she always told her colleagues on the sets of Kites, Krrish and Kaabil to treat her like a peer and not as Rakesh Roshan's daughter.
In March, Rakesh Roshan announced that after directing Krrish and Krrish 3, he's passing the mantle on to son Hrithik Roshan, who'll now be stepping into the director's shoes for the franchise's next instalment. Krrish 4 is currently in pre-production stage and set to start filming in early 2026. It will reportedly also star Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Rekha, Preity G Zinta, Nora Fatehi and Naseeruddin Shah along with Hrithik.
As fans look forward to it, Hrithik's sister Sunaina Roshan also says that she's eagerly waiting to see how he shines in his new role. 'I'm not a part of the film but I'm very excited about Krrish 4 because it's going to be my brother's directorial debut," she tells News18 Showsha exclusively. Recalling her reaction when Hrithik broke the news to the family, she says, 'He told me and my mom about it just one day before the announcement came out in the press. I remember crying and crying."
Their father too couldn't hold back his tears. 'I cried, thinking that he's now taking my father's legacy of direction ahead. My dad was also in tears. It was so overwhelming for me that my kid brother is now turning a director. I know that he'll do a fabulous job at it," Sunaina shares. But Sunaina, who had earlier co-produced a bunch of films under her father's banner, won't be doing the same for Krrish 4.
Talking about it, she remarks, 'I don't want to get back to producing films. When I was working with dad, I did so because I had nothing to do at home and I wanted to get busy. Now that I know what I've to do, I'm not going back to that office. I don't even visit the sets of the films my brother is working on. But I used to be on the sets of Kites all time because that was my first film as a co-producer. I find visiting a film set very boring (laughs)."
But the one thing Sunaina was very clear about even on the sets of Krazzy 4 was to not be treated differently. 'I was a co-producer and an assistant director to my dad on Krrish. I loved that experience. I had a lot of fun on the sets because I'm a very people's person. When I worked with dad, I always used to tell my colleagues to treat me as a peer and not as Rakesh Roshan's daughter and that I'm there to work much like all of them. And I've maintained that throughout my working career with dad. I eventually stopped co-producing because dad stopped making movies. My last film was Kaabil," she states.
And was direction ever on the cards for her? 'Though I had been an assistant director, I couldn't ever think about turning a director myself. I could never! I believe that everyone has their own shortcomings and it's important to recognise them. I, for sure, knew that I couldn't be a director," she says with a laugh.
