This week, Hrithik Roshan witnessed a Diwali-Halloween mashup that will forever be imprinted in his memory as one of his biggest fan followers, who travelled all the way from Faridabad to Mumbai, paid a visit. The ardent fan, known on Instagram by the moniker ‘jadu_boy79’, received eyeballs by dressing up as Jadoo-the alien-from Hrithik’s 2003 film ‘
Koi Mil Gaya
‘. He cycled for more than 22 days to reach the city, camping outside Hrithik’s home for four days hoping to meet the actor.
Patience finally paid off when he spotted Hrithik driving out with his girlfriend, Saba Azad. Recognizing ‘
Jadoo
‘, Hrithik called him over and, after a friendly conversation, posed for a quick photo. Saba appeared to be taken aback by the surprise encounter, whereas Hrithik smiled with joy, obviously affected by his fan’s eagerness.
Jadoo touched everyone’s heart because ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ was a landmark film in Indian cinema. The film was science fiction and heartwarming storytelling together and introduced the refreshing alien Jadoo as a symbol of friendship and innocence. With big brown eyes and a delightful personality, he became everybody’s favorite, especially among children.
Indravadan Purohit, also known as Chhote Ustad, portrayed Jadoo. The character was designed with delicate detail, including sophisticated make-up techniques and a very heartwarming back-story that transformed the old myth of an alien into that of a friend. The whole story of the movie related to friendship, companionship, and the magic associated with friendship, making it a very appealing character on screen. Even years have passed since the film release, but the character never fades away from the consciousness of the masses.
The movie features not only the acting talent of Hrithik but also presents a very different story that caught the eye of everyone. The film has been shot depicting the heartwarming relationship between Jadoo and Rohit, hence this film highlights the idea of connectivity and understanding.
