Hrithik Roshan’s sci-fi film Koi…Mil Gaya is set to clock 20 years on August 8. To date, the film is remembered for its unique concept — courtesy, director Rakesh Roshan. Twenty years ago, he introduced Indians to an endearing alien “Jadoo” who changed the life of Hrithik’s character Rohit Mehra in the film.
The film starred Hrithik playing the role of a mentally challenged person whose life transforms after Jadoo, the alien enters his life.
