He was cast in several other movies, many of which were made by his father and grandfather. Hrithik Roshan claims that he was the "good luck charm" in their movies. In the 1990`s, Roshan assisted his father on numerous movies like Khel and Koyla, where he swept floors and even served tea to the cast members.
