Hrithik Roshan-Rakesh Roshan sweet relation turns sour

Among the current crop of Bollywood actors, Hrithik Roshan is one cool dude who has been long successful in staying away from regular controversies. But time has changed.

Hrithik who shares a wonderful relationship with director-father Rakesh Roshan is facing tough times. The father and son had a rift. It started with Hrithik’s closeness to Barbara Mori, following which Sussanne left the house.

The cracks in relationship have been now on the sets of ‘Kites’ too. Rakesh Roshan is known to be a good director but Hrithik seems to have his own take. ‘Kites’ is to be edited and Hrithik wants to have it his way. Rakesh sits on the edit; meanwhile, Hrithik is keen to have his inputs.

Hrithik and Rakesh Roshan weren’t supposedly on talking terms with each other for long, but they recently spoke after months. However, with things still taking time to regain normalcy, Hrithik and Sussanne are living in a posh five-star hotel
