As we know Hrithik Roshan was very close to his maternal grandfather. He even gifted his favourite car to his grandfather in the year 2016. He was a Father of Pinky Roshan’s, the mother of Hrithik Roshan.
J Om Prakash, most of whose film titles began with ‘A’, is best known for helming movies such as Aap Ki Kasam (1974), Aakhir Kyon? (1985), Arpan (1983), Apna Bana Lo (1982), Aasha (1980) and Apnapan (1977). He directed Rajesh Khanna in his debut film Aap Ki Kasam, which is etched in our minds for its soulful music – Jai, Jai Shiv Shankar and Zindagi Ke Safar – composed by RD Burman. J Om Prakash worked with Jeetendra in Aadmi Khilona Hai (1993).
Our Prayers and intensely condolences with Roshan family! May his soul Rest in Peace! Hope Hrithik will handle it bravely, has he was so much close to his grandfather.
