THROWBACK: When Hrithik Roshan revealed reason behind Koi Mil Gaya’s Jadoo having extra thumb like him: ‘It was to help…’

Hrithik Roshan is lovingly referred to as the Greek God of Bollywood. While his eyes often do the talking, his acting and dance skills have succeeded in winning millions of hearts. Another unique thing about him is that he has six fingers on one hand. Those who have watched his 2003 movie Koi Mil Gaya closely would have noticed that the alien named Jadoo also has a double thumb. While talking to Pinkvilla earlier, Roshan revealed the reason behind it.

In an old interview with us, Hrithik Roshan was questioned about the extra thumb that the extraterrestrial being named Jadoo had in Koi Mil Gaya. The actor started by sharing that it was his idea. He told his filmmaker dad Rakesh Roshan, “Papa, for that immediate connection, if he has got two thumbs that look like mine, I will look at that and he will look at mine and we’ll look at each other, and say ‘Same to same.’” 

Even though Hrithik opened up about it in the interview with Pinkvilla, he also took to X (formerly Twitter) and responded to our journalist when he spoke about his weird observation in the movie. The Fighter star stated, “Yes. It was to help Rohit feel familiarity. But we had to keep it subtle as the thumb didn’t look as great as I wanted. you have a good eye, my friend. Stay safe.”

While today his fans love his unique characteristic, there was a time when his thumb used to repel people in school. Nearly a decade ago, when he was voted the ‘Sexiest man’ in Asia by US weekly Eastern Eye for the third time, the star took to his Facebook profile and expressed, “I am lucky. Not cause I got voted sexiest. Cause I just noticed God gave me a piece of ugly to carry with me to remind myself n others of how beautiful our imperfections make us.”

His post further read, “My thumb used to repel people in school. Today I am posting it to millions like you who I know are just like me. Beautifully imperfect. Thank you God for this wonderful life. Make your weaknesses your strengths. Be proud. U are beautiful. Trust me.” Meanwhile, on the work front, Hrithik is busy filming War 2 with Kiara Advani.

Satyameva Jayate 2 director Milap Zaveri admits feeling ‘abandoned’ by Nikkhil Advani after film’s failure; ‘Mujhe ehsaas dilaya gaya ki tu pit gaya’

Satyameva Jayate 2, starring John Abraham and Divya Khossla, was made on a big budget of Rs. 95 crore and was a disaster at the box office. Recently, Milap Zaveri revealed that he was made to feel that he failed after the film’s release and felt abandoned by producer Nikkhil Advani, who is like a brother to him. Zaveri also shared that he sent a text to Advani mentioning how it took them one failure to drop him. 

In a candid interview with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, Milap recalled his fallout with Nikkhil Advani after the failure of Satyameva Jayate 2 starring John Abraham.

The director admitted that he was made to feel he failed and even told the same thing. He mentioned it could have been overconfidence from his side, but he was never disrespected or crossed any line with Nikkhil or Emmay Entertainment.

The Marjaavaan director admitted he had some arguments with Nikkhil while working on the John Abraham-led film. But it was due to their differences in opinion. Since his last two films were a hit, he had a lot of conviction in himself during that phase. So, it was more like two people who believed in different kinds of cinemas.

Zaveri said, “It was just that until my cinema was working, he sucked it up. He accepted it because it was making money for him and his company.”

He recalled that Satyameva Jayate was a turning point for the production house and him after its success. So, there could have been overconfidence on his part to make the sequel.

Although they parted ways amicably, he mentioned that Advani is like an elder brother and is almost like a father figure to him. They have a personal connection, so he feels he has a right to express his feelings honestly. 

Milan confessed he felt hurt, which lingered for a long time and made him feel abandoned by the Vedaa director. So, he even sent a text message to the latter expressing his feelings.

He recalled the text and said, “I messaged him also at one point. Nikkhil, one flop, and you dropped me. You just dropped me, and tune haath saaf kar diya, all bets are clear.” 

Despite his clear message to Nikkhil, the writer just got a smiley face back. Still, he attends their functions or other events whenever possible because he will always be there for them.

On the work front, Milap Zaveri is busy directing Masti 4, which stars Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, and Vivek Oberoi.  The female leads or the final release date haven’t been announced yet, but fans are already excited to watch the film.
