Rakesh Roshan doesn't want his son to be blamed for Mohenjo Daro's performance at the box office. This isn't a one-off incident. Several times in the past, we've seen Bollywood stars' parents coming to the rescue of their children.
Ever since the trailer of Mohenjo Daro was released, many predicted its fate at the box office. From factual errors to oh-so-lame costumes, everything about Ashutosh Gowariker's historical drama seemed wrong. And the box-office clash with Akshay Kumar's Rustom only added fuel to the fire. The film sank without a trace. And thus began the blame game. While some people blamed Hrithik Roshan's personal turmoil during the shooting of the film for the film turning out to be a debacle, others questioned the actor's choice of work.
Now, Daddy Rakesh Roshan has jumped to the rescue of his 42-year-old son. The director-producer has taken a potshot at director Ashutosh Gowariker. Papa Roshan has blamed the bad VFX (Visual Effects) for the film's failure and added that things appeared too tacky towards the end of the film.
In an interview to Mid-Day, Senior Roshan said, "Though director Ashutosh Gowariker had a vision, what did not work were the last 20 minutes of the film. The VFX failed it, things appeared tacky. The last few reels of a film always stay in the audience's mind, and that's where the film did not work."
When asked if Hrithik's film got sidelined because of his personal life (the ugly battle with Kangana Ranaut), Roshan said, "What happens in an actor's personal life doesn't impact a film. A good film will do well. Rustom was a good film. In the industry, anyone can side with anyone. Every family has their share of ups and downs, but as we are part of the industry, our turmoil gets highlighted. I know my son, and he has done no wrong. I stand by him."
Roshan, who will soon work with Hrithik in Krrish 4, is in no mood mince words and doesn't want his son to be blamed for Mohenjo Daro's performance at the box office.
This isn't a one-off incident. Several times in the past, we've seen Bollywood stars' parents coming to the rescue of their children. Here are other Bollywood stars who have been rescued by their parents every now and then.
