In a delightful throwback video that has recently resurfaced and gone viral on social media, Hrithik Roshan can be seen charming fans with his impromptu singing skills. The video captures the actor singing "Jaadoo Jaadoo," the iconic song from his 2003 sci-fi hit 'Koi Mil Gaya', but what makes this moment even more special is that Hrithik is in his character from the film 'Super 30'. This heartwarming blend of two distinct roles from his career has fans nostalgic and amused.
Hrithik Roshan's viral throwback video
The clip shows Hrithik, while dressed as Anand Kumar, the real-life mathematician from Bihar whom he portrayed in 'Super 30', slipping into the familiar melody of "Jaadoo." His look in the video is quite different from his usual polished, suave self, as he sports the rugged, humble appearance of a village teacher—messy hair, simple clothes, and a much darker complexion to match the role of Kumar. Even in this serious and educational character, Hrithik's charismatic nature shines through as he joyfully sings the playful tune, bringing an unexpected twist of his 'Koi Mil Gaya' persona into the frame.
The moment is lighthearted, showing his ability to blend fun into the rigorous atmosphere on set. It is a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse that offers fans a look at Hrithik's off-screen personality, full of humor and spontaneity.

The Magic of 'Koi Mil Gaya'
'Koi Mil Gaya,' released in 2003, was a milestone film in Hrithik’s career. His portrayal of Rohit, a developmentally disabled young man who befriends an alien named Jaadoo, resonated with audiences and is still fondly remembered. The movie's success cemented Hrithik’s reputation as one of the most versatile actors in Bollywood. The song "Jaadoo Jaadoo" became iconic not only because of its catchy tune but also because of the emotional connection it symbolized between the protagonist and his extraterrestrial friend.
Fan Reactions
As soon as the video started circulating on social media platforms, it quickly gained traction, with fans flooding the comment sections with love and appreciation for Hrithik. Many viewers were thrilled to see him revisiting one of his most beloved roles through this musical tribute. The video also sparked discussions about Hrithik’s versatility as an actor, as fans admired how effortlessly he could shift between two completely different characters.
One fan wrote, "Rohit in an alternate universe 😂" Another fan commented, "When you and your friends don’t get coldplay tickets."
Hrithik’s Journey from "Koi Mil Gaya" to "Super 30"
What makes this viral moment even more significant is the contrast between the two films that the song and the video represent. 'Koi Mil Gaya' is a fantastical sci-fi adventure, where Hrithik played the role of an innocent, childlike man who forms an emotional bond with an alien.
On the other hand, 'Super 30' is a gritty biographical drama, where he portrays a real-life teacher fighting against the odds to give underprivileged children a shot at success. The two roles showcase Hrithik's remarkable range as an actor, and the viral video offers a charming intersection of these two worlds.
On the work front, Hrithik Roshan will next be seen in the action-drama 'War 2' along with Jr NTR.
