Last August, they were competing against each other, but both Hrithik Roshan and Akshay Kumar did not let that affect their ties. Both actors live in the same apartment block in Juhu, northwest Mumbai.
While Akshay Kumar’s Rustom scored over Hrithik Roshan’s Mohenjo Daro at the box office on the Independence Day weekend, there has been no drop in the respect the actors have for each other.
With Hrithik Roshan turning 43 today, Akshay Kumar greeted him and wished him luck for his Republic Day clash at the box office with Shah Rukh Khan's Raees. He tweeted the following:
In 2014, Kapoor’s Haider had competed with Hrithik Roshan's Bang Bang. The former was more critically acclaimed, but the latter, despite poor reviews, went on to bag over Rs180 crore at the domestic box office. Despite that clash, Kapoor and Roshan have remained cordial with each other. As promised, each also saw the other’s film.
