Not approached for Comedy Nights Bachao: Hrithik Roshan

However, Hritihik made an appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show.

Actor Hrithik Roshan is on a promotion spree as his next film Mohenjo Daro is set to hit the screens later this month. But contrary to rumours, he said Comedy Nights Bachao was never on the list for promoting the epic adventure-romance film.

According to reports, Hrithik was asked to promote his film on Comedy Nights Bachao, but the actor declined the offer. “That’s a rumour. Comedy Nights Bachao was never on the list. I was not approached for it. There was a need to do two shows and they were both decided by the PR team, and not by Pooja (Hegde) or me. We were just taken (to the shows’ sets),” said Hrithik.

The co-stars did make an appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show.

How was it shooting with popular comedian Kapil Sharma? “He is amazing. We had a great time. That show is dedicated to... after Pooja to Ashutosh because you will see a different side of him that no one has ever seen. He was behaving like a girl and all,” he said.

Mohenjo Daro will hit the screens on August 12.
