The ticket sellers at the iconic single screen Gaiety Galaxy in Mumbai express their thoughts on the storm that occurred with the debut of Hrithik Roshan.
A ticket collector Sharad Parab narrated the tale saying, "I started working at Gaiety in 2000 itself, after just 2-3 days of my joining 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai' released. I have never witnessed the amount of craze for any other actor till date that Hrithik garnered. The fan frenzy of the public was immense, people were running, falling to watch the film. The crowd that gathered then was unrealistic. There has no Superstar like him till date, he became a star overnight. "
Another ticket collector Jagdish Sakpal said, "I have been working here for 40 years now, 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai' released 18 years back here and had a stupendous run at the theaters. A lot of guys (debutants) came after him but no actor received such stardom and possibly never will."
'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai' not only gave Bollywood an actor but a phenomenon. The actor won hearts with his endearing performances in many films ever since his debut. As the star completes 18 years in Bollywood, Mumbai' s most famous single screen gives the testimony of his stardom.
On the work front, Hrithik Roshan is currently prepping for his first ever biopic based on the life of mathematics genius Anand Kumar, after which the actor will be seen in an action-thriller with Tiger Shroff and also will ring in the fourth franchise of the Superhero flick 'Krrish'.
