Koi Mil Gaya, which was released on August 8, 2003, celebrated its 20 years anniversary. The film starred Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta and Rekha in lead roles.
Recently in an interview, Preity Zinta revealed that she plays the title song of Koi Mil Gaya to make her children–Gia Zinta Goodenough and Jai Zinta Goodenough go to sleep. She also stated that she could not recognise her co-star Hrithik Roshan in his Rohit avatar.
In an interview with a leading news portal, Preity said, “The title track, Koi Mil Gaya is something I play when my kids don’t go to sleep, it helps calm them down.” She also described her kids as jadoo.
Talking about her Koi Mil Gaya co-star, Hrithik, she said, “I remember the first day of shoot, I was irritated that Hrithik was late and suddenly someone tapped on my shoulder, I turned to see and it was Hrithik in Rohit’s look. He was completely unrecognisable and I was surprised to see him. It only then struck me that Hrithik was on set all along, it was just that I did not recognise him.”
Produced and directed by Rakesh Roshan, Koi Mil Gaya centred on a young man named Rohit Mehra who has developmental disabilities. One day, he unexpectedly meets an alien named Jaadoo who grants him extraordinary abilities.
