Hrithik and Rakesh featured together in an advertisement for the first time. The two reunited on screen for a vehicle lubricant brand commercial. The ad shows Hrithik whistling the Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai tune while fuelling his car. When his friend asks him, "Have you ever turned back to see how far you've come?" Hrithik replies, "Not yet." This is followed by both of them taking a road trip to 'where it all started.' As they take in a scenic view, Rakesh Roshan enters the frame and asks Hrithik, 'How was your journey?' to which Hrithik replies, 'Unforgettable.'
Sharing the advertisement on Twitter, the filmmaker wrote, "A moment I'll cherish forever — sharing the screen with my son for our very first commercial together. Here's to creating memories, both on and off camera :)". Fans were thrilled to see the father-son duo on screen together for the first time.
One fan wrote, "Wow. Sharing the screen after so many years. Father-son duo. The Roshans." Another said, "That's such a special moment! Making memories like that is priceless. Here's to many more adventures together!" A third commented, "This brought happy tears to my eyes." Another fan wrote, "I love the ad, Sir. Good to see you both on screen." One more added, "Such a sweet surprise."
Hrithik Roshan first played the young version of his father's character in the 1980 film Aap Ke Deewane. He also worked as a child artiste in the film Bhagwan Dada, which featured his father, Rajinikanth, and Sridevi in key roles. The father-son duo have collaborated on several hit films, including Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, Koi... Mil Gaya, and Krrish, among others.
Now, Rakesh — who was earlier supposed to direct Krrish 4 — has handed over the baton to his son. Hrithik will now be making his directorial debut with Krrish 4. Apart from this, the actor also has the much-anticipated War 2, which also stars Jr NTR and Kiara Advani, and is scheduled to release in cinemas on August 14.

Hrithik Roshan Joins Forces With Hombale Films, Dipika Kakar Diagnosed With Liver Cancer
Last Updated: Hrithik Roshan teams up with Hombale Films. Dipika Kakar diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer. Deepika Padukone replaced in Spirit. Hrithik Roshan has teamed up with Hombale Films for a new movie that's already got fans excited. The makers say the film will be filled with strength, big visuals, and powerful moments. They've promised a mix of strong emotions and fresh, creative storytelling. TV actress Dipika Kakar has shared a sad and emotional update with her fans — she has been diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer. Best known for her role in Sasural Simar Ka, Dipika posted the news on Instagram, revealing that it all started with severe stomach pain. When she went to the doctor, they found a tumour in her liver, about the size of a tennis ball. Tests later confirmed it was cancer. Deepika Padukone is once again making headlines, this time over rumours that she was dropped from director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's next film, Spirit. Reports suggest that Deepika was replaced after she allegedly asked for a higher fee and wanted to work only 8 hours a day. In contrast, Triptii Dimri was brought in for the role at a lower fee. In the middle of all this, an old clip from the promotions of Chhapaak (2020) has gone viral again. In the video, Deepika, who also produced the film, firmly addressed rumours that her husband Ranveer Singh was funding her projects. 'Excuse me, yeh mere khud ke paise hain. Kisne bola yeh? Yeh meri khud ki mehnat hai," she said. Read story here: Tamannaah Blames Instagram For 'Liking' Deepika Clip, Fans Recall Virat Kohli-Avneet Kaur Row Just days after singer Kenishaa Francis filed a legal complaint over the online abuse and defamation she faced regarding actor Ravi Mohan's separation from his wife, there's a new twist in the story. Ravi Mohan has now taken legal action himself — this time against his wife Aarti Ravi and mother-in-law Sujatha Vijaykumar. According to reports, the actor has sent them a legal notice over their social media posts, which he claims have been defamatory and caused serious harm to his reputation. Kannappa is turning out to be one of the biggest films to look forward to, with a massive star cast and a grand scale. Vishnu Manchu, who plays the lead role, recently revealed a heartwarming detail about the film's making. Big stars like Prabhas, Mohanlal, and Akshay Kumar are part of the project. He said that Prabhas and Mohanlal didn't charge a single penny from him for their role in the film. These were the newsmakers of the day. First Published: May 28, 2025, 21:46 IST
