Veteran Producer Director Rakesh Roshan throws light on Re-releasing Karan Arjun and not directing Krrish 4.

Emotional quotient has been the USP of his films from Karan Arjun based on the mother-son relationship and father-son relationship in Krrish and Koi Mil Gaya which acts as the thread of his films. Roshan says, “In Karan Arjun, a mother witnesses his two sons be killed in front of her eyes and prays to God to have them back come what may. That’s the emotional thread of the film, which I try to embellish with songs, characters and various elements of cinematography.”

Karan Arjun is known for its memorable music tracks, He says, “Music runs in my family. My father and brother Rajesh Roshan were music composers. My mother was an AIR artist and I and Hritik have a good sense of music. Although I can't compose music when I listen to music I can make out if it will work or not, and that’s how it worked. The music was done by brother Rajesh Roshan and Indeevar wrote the lyrics. I narrated the situations and then the songs with lines like ‘Ye bandhan to Pyaar ka bandhan hai’ and Jati Hoon Main were written, which makes it memorable.”

He adds, “Music plays a big part in a film's success; unfortunately, we are keeping it at the backend now. Earlier the recall value of the heroes was only because of music we can remember Shammi Kapoor with ‘Ye chand sa roshan chehra’, but today we only have songs in the background so we don’t even know who the hero is.”

Talking about the trend of re-releases, he says, “A good film will do well anyways if it’s a release or a re-release. I am re-releasing Karan Arjun because we do not have wholesome entertainers now. I want to present this film to the new generation who have missed watching it. Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Kajol were beginners at that time and they are superstars today. I want to see how people of the younger generation will see this film, since their values and emotions have changed, although I see they are still making memes on the film.”

He adds, “I had conviction about this film that it will work when Rakhi said on close-up ki mere Karan Arjun Ayenge. I saw that pathos in her eyes, which was one take ok.”

Kritik assisted him on Karan Arjun and today he now gave a voiceover on the film for th re-release, He says, “I think this film is blessed and there is some divine connection about it. I narrated this story to him when he was 14-15, and when I was thinking of making another film after king uncle he came and told me to work on the story of re-incarnations, which was karan Arjun.”

Rakesh Roshan shares a very strong bond with his son Hrithik Roshan, He says, “I can tell him anything as compared to any other actor. If he's not doing good, I can tell him it's not right. He also tells me to place the camera on a different angle so that he can give me a better expression. A film has 5 pillars, actor, director, producer, heroine and hero, and we together are 4 already.”

He adds, “Hritik observes me a lot, how I tackle a subject, how I deal with various queries and give answers, how punctual I am, how I work on the script and the story details, locations, screenplay, lyrics, dialogues, songs, which invest your time and energy. After that, when the money comes, then I put that on the film.”

Krrish 4, will be directed by Karan Malhotra of Agneepath fame. Talking about not directing Krrish 4. He said, “I will not direct Krrish 4, but I will sit and supervise the film, so audiences don’t need to bother about the outcome.”
