Looking at a decade of Hrithik Roshan

Say what you may about Hrithik Roshan's latest movie, Kites, the actor always seemed destined for stardom, right from his roles as a child artist in films like Aasha and Aap Ke Deewane in 1980 and Bhagwana Dada in 1986.

And though Bhagwan Dada starred Rakesh Roshan, Rajnikanth and Sridevi, people today still remember Hrithik as the little handicapped boy.

His actual debut as a hero came in 2000, with Kaho Na Pyaar Hai.

It's been a full decade since his emergence as a star, which had him heralded as the next great hero of Hindi cinema. But in the ten years that he has been in the film industry, Hrithik has starred in just 15 movies and made four special appearances.

Given the release of his long-awaited Kites, rediff.com decided to take a look at Hrithik's work over the last ten years.

Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000)

Rakesh Roshan saw to it that his son's immense talent was showcased in his very first movie.

Hrithik played a double role: one, an aspiring singer named Rohit and the other a successful singer named Raj.

Kaho Na... Payar Hai was directed by Rakesh Roshan, while Hrithik's uncle Rajesh Roshan composed the music.

It starred newcomer Amisha Patel and Anupam Kher in main roles.

The film was a big hit and became the top grossing film of 2000. It made Hrithik an overnight Bollywood star
