Mumbai: Actor Hrithik Roshan recently teamed up with the makers of ‘Project Hail Mary’ to present the film to audiences in India.
However, the actor’s bonding with Alien Rocky from Ryan Gosling’s film apparently left his old alien friend Jaadu, from his 2003 film ‘Koi Mil Gaya’, upset.
On Friday, Sony Pictures India and Hrithik shared a joint post on Instagram in which the actor is seen teaching alien Rocky the hook step of ‘Ek Pal Ka Jeena’.
When Rocky successfully learnt the hook step, Hrithik lauded him, calling him “the best.”
This special bonding between Hrithik and Rocky irked his alien friend Jaadu and he slammed the door. Even as Hrithik tried to cheer him, Jaadu remained upset.
Jaadu calmed down only when Hrithik gave him tickets to the film, and asked him to accompany him, expressing his love.
“Dosti ki koi language nahi hoti (There is no language for friendship), just pure math and signals! (Alien emoji) Ek baar phir (Once again)… the stars have sent someone incredible to Hrithik Roshan. This one is a genius engineer from another world,” read the post’s caption.
Hrithik’s father Rakesh Roshan termed the post “Novel.”
One fan remarked, “This is epic! The crossover we didn’t know could exist or that we needed. Miss Jaadu.”
Another person wrote, “Hrithik + alien = guaranteed blockbuster chemistry.”
Another comment read, “Hrithik + Rocky = intergalactic swag unlocked.”
An Instagram user said, “This promo was such a fun watch, made me miss Jadoo… also, you need to do a comedy, you’re naturally too funny not to!”
One comment read, “This is the best teaser of my life.”
One netizen said, “Amazing experience in the cinematic world with Hrithik Roshan.”
“The way Rocky nailed those steps… Jaadu would be proud,” commented another.
“Hrithik has a new alien friend in Rocky, yaaay,” said another Instagram user.
Directed by the acclaimed filmmaking duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, ‘Project Hail Mary’ is based on the bestselling novel by Andy Weir.
The film follows Ryland Grace, played by Ryan Gosling, a lone astronaut who wakes up aboard a mysterious spacecraft with no memory of who he is or the mission that brought him there.
The film also stars Sandra Huller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, and Milana Vayntrub. It will be released in India on March 26, in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages.
