When
KNPH
Created
A
Storm
At
The
Box
Office
The
ticket
sellers
at
the
iconic
single
screen
Gaiety
Galaxy
in
Mumbai
express
their
thoughts
on
the
storm
that
occurred
with
the
debut
of
Hrithik
Roshan.
A
ticket
collector
Sharad
Parab
narrated
the
tale
saying,
"I
started
working
at
Gaiety
in
2000
itself,
after
just
2-3
days
of
my
joining
'Kaho
Naa
Pyaar
Hai' released.
I
have
never
witnessed
the
amount
of
craze
for
any
other
actor
till
date
that
Hrithik
garnered."
"The
fan
frenzy
of
the
public
was
immense,
people
were
running,
falling
to
watch
the
film.
The
crowd
that
gathered
then
was
unrealistic.
There
has
no
Superstar
like
him
till
date,
he
became
a
star
overnight."
No
Debutant
Was
As
Hit
As
Hrithik
Another
ticket
collector
Jagdish
Sakpal
said,
"I
have
been
working
here
for
40
years
now,
'Kaho
Naa
Pyaar
Hai' released
18
years
back
here
and
had
a
stupendous
run
at
the
theaters.
A
lot
of
guys
(debutants)
came
after
him
but
no
actor
received
such
stardom
and
possibly
never
will."
'Kaho
Naa
Pyaar
Hai'
not
only
gave
Bollywood
an
actor
but
a
phenomenon.
The
actor
won
hearts
with
his
endearing
performances
in
many
films
ever
since
his
debut.
As
the
star
completes
18
years
in
Bollywood,
Mumbai'
s
most
famous
single
screen
gives
the
testimony
of
his
stardom.
On
the
work
front,
Hrithik
Roshan
is
currently
prepping
for
his
first
ever
biopic
based
on
the
life
of
mathematics
genius
Anand
Kumar,
after
which
the
actor
will
be
seen
in
an
action-thriller
with
Tiger
Shroff
and
also
will
ring
in
the
fourth
franchise
of
the
Superhero
