About Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik Roshan is Rohit Mehra in Rakesh Roshan’s Koi… Mil Gaya (8 August 2003), and Rohit’s son Krishna, born with magical powers, in its sequel Krrish (2006) (Yash Raj Films).

On screen

He is Rohan in Karan Johar’s Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), Aryan, the thief known as Mr A, in Dhoom 2 (2006), and Kabir, the leader of an elite unit, in Siddharth Anand’s War (2 October 2019).

Our advice: watch War for the action, and Koi… Mil Gaya for the heart.

In War he is Kabir, India’s top agent.
