Mumbai, May 26: In a video that has taken social media by storm, veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan has sent a powerful message: age is truly just a number. At 75, the celebrated director stunned fans and celebrities alike with an energetic and disciplined workout routine, setting a new benchmark for fitness in the film industry.

The video, shared on Roshan’s official Instagram handle, showcases the senior filmmaker in top form — punching the air, lifting weights, tackling battle ropes, and performing full-body exercises with impressive agility. “It’s not about being healthy—it’s about feeling your best every day,” Roshan captioned, summing up his unwavering commitment to wellness.

The post drew widespread praise from all corners of Bollywood. Action star Tiger Shroff responded with a heartfelt “Lovely sir,” while seasoned actor Anupam Kher chimed in with a spirited “Har Har Mahadev!” Action director Sham Kaushal also lauded Roshan’s discipline, calling him “so inspiring.”

Netizens joined the chorus of admiration, flooding the comments section with messages like “Real-life superhero” and “True fitness icon.” Many thanked the senior filmmaker for proving that determination and routine can defy age-related limitations.

This wave of appreciation comes shortly after a proud announcement from the Roshan family. Rakesh Roshan recently revealed that his son, superstar Hrithik Roshan, will make his directorial debut with the upcoming Krrish 4, jointly produced by Yash Raj Films and Filmkraft Productions.

“Duggu, 25 years back I launched you as an actor, and today again, after 25 years, you are being launched as a director by two filmmakers, Aditya Chopra & myself,” Rakesh Roshan wrote in an emotional note, adding a father’s pride to an already momentous occasion.

With his fitness-driven video going viral and Hrithik gearing up to helm the next installment of the beloved superhero franchise, Rakesh Roshan is proving that strength — whether physical, emotional, or creative — only gets better with time.

From directing cinematic milestones to inspiring millions with his personal discipline, the veteran filmmaker stands as a glowing example of timeless spirit and enduring grit.
