Hrithik Roshan and his family are in Bollywood for more than 70 years now. Many of us know the Roshan family but only a few know that ‘Roshan’ isn’t their surname. ‘Roshan’ is the name of Hrithik’s late paternal grandfather, Roshanlal Nagrath, who was a music composer in Hindi films in 1950’s and 60’s. His grandfather became famous by his first name, Roshan, and since then the name continued in their family. Roshan was a successful music composer who died in 1967 due to a severe heart attack. It has been 50 years that the legend has passed and to give him a tribute, Hrithik along with Rakesh Roshan and Rajesh Roshan have planned to do a special concert in his memory.
Popular singers from the Bollywood industry that include Alka Yagnik , Kumar Sanu , Udit Narayan , and Abhijeet are invited to perform for the said tribute. Roshan has ruled the music scene in Bollywood during the 50s and 60s with songs from films like ‘ Malhar ’, ‘ Taj Mahal ’, ‘ Anhonee ’, and ‘Nau Bahar’ among others. In fact, reports suggest that the Roshans are in search for a top playback singer to recreate one of Roshan’s iconic songs ‘Aeiri main to prem diwani’ from Nau Bahar for the show.
Reportedly, the concert will be held in Borivali, suburban Mumbai on this Saturday i.e. January 20th.
