Hrithik Roshan is nervous about Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai re-releasing, thinks people will realise he wasn't all that

At the trailer launch of the Netflix docu-series The Roshans, Hrithik Roshan admitted being skeptical about the re-release of his debut film.

It has been 25 years since Hrithik Roshan debuted as a lead actor in his father Rakesh Roshan’s directorial Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. Talking about the film’s re-release at the trailer launch of the Netflix docu-series The Roshans, Hrithik admitted he was ‘afraid’ about the reception the film will get today.

At the launch, Hrithik was shown a still from Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, showing him playing the guitar. He candidly said, “I am so afraid the film is releasing again. People will go tomorrow after 25 years and think, arre yaar pachis saal pehle hum kya soch rahe the, aisa kuch nahi hai (what were we thinking twenty-five years ago, it’s nothing as we remember).”

However, he soon snapped out of it and revealed that he was told a day before shooting Pyaar Ki Kashti Mein that he needed to ‘play’ a guitar. He said, “And when you give something like this to someone like me, you can expect me to go crazy. Cause I didn’t play the guitar, and now I had to look like I could play one. So I couldn’t sleep that night. The whole night I kept trying to make a physical action with my fingers imagining the sound of the instrument. I went absolutely nuts.”

And while Hrithik believed he got it ‘absolutely right’ when he shot for the film, his son, who likes to play music, told him years later that he was playing the wrong notes.
