The 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai' star was highly nervous before his debut.
Hrithik Roshan debuted in Bollywood in 2000 with the romantic drama 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai'. The film was a blockbuster and earned Roshan enormous acclaim from all across the world. He was termed the next big thing in B-town at the time.
In an interview with the BBC, the superstar recently shared some fun stories regarding his debut.
He revealed that he wanted Rohit and Raj (the dual roles of Roshan in the film) to look different. For that, he called Salman Khan to get bodybuilding tips.

"I did everything that I could, including calling the biggest star, Salman Khan, who did not know me at all. I just asked myself who is the best in the business, it is Salman and I said, ‘I have to try this. I have to try asking him what you do," he added.
During the shooting, the actor felt that the film was more focused on its lead actress. He said, "On the script level, I thought it was a girl film and kept complaining to Dad, ‘You know, Papa, I have got nothing to do. All I am doing is laughing or looking good, or dancing. How do I show people that I can do things.'"
The actor added, "He said, ‘I am making a movie, you want to act in it, do. But don’t tell me how to make the movie. I am not making the movie to launch you, I am making it because I have an idea, and you are acting in it since you suit the part. You are a newcomer who just happens to be my son.'"
