Media speculations say that it is the new-found friendship between the actors that has culminated into their association in Krrish 2. While Shahrukh and Hrithik Roshan had been termed as rivals during the start of the latter’s career in Bollywood, all the rivalry is a thing of the past. Gauri Khan and Sussanne Roshan, the wives of the stars, are very close friends and it is they who keep their husbands bound to one another.
Shahrukh has been heard praising the acting skills of Hrithik Roshan especially after his performance in Guzaarish. Hrithik Roshan too makes it a point to seek the advice of his senior on professional matters. Also, both families are regularly spotted at each other’s parties.
