Hrithik Roshan talks about Rajinikanth
For the unversed, Hrithik Roshan has starred with Tamil superstar Rajinikanth as a child artist in Bhagwaan Dada. The film was released in 1986 and featured Rajinikanth, Sridevi, and Rakesh Roshan in the lead.
At the trailer launch event of The Roshans, Hrithik was shown a picture of him with the superstar from the movie sets. Recalling the shooting days, Hrithik said, "I used to talk to him like 'yes uncle, no, yes.' I had my way with him."
Expressing his desire to work with Rajinikanth again, the actor said, "Today If I get a chance to work with him, I will be very different. I will realize the burden and the weight of the moment that I am sharing the screen space with him my god. He was so gentle. Whenever I messed up a shot, Rajini Sir used to take the blame, 'sorry sorry it was my fault.' Every single time I made a mistake, Rajinikanth Sir took the blame so that I, the child would not get conscious."
