Veteran filmmaker and actor Rakesh Roshan has been diagnosed with early-stage throat cancer, as confirmed by son Hrithik Roshan in a heartfelt Instagram post.

The Krrish actor took to Instagram and posted a picture of the two in the gym with the caption, “Asked my dad for a picture this morning. Knew he wouldn’t miss gym on surgery day. He is probably the strongest man I know. Got diagnosed with early-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the throat a few weeks ago, but he is in full spirits today as he proceeds to battle it. As a family, we are fortunate and blessed to have a leader like him. Love you Dad.”

Rakesh, who started his career as an actor moved towards directing and launched his son in his 2000 film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai alongside Amisha Patel. The father-son duo have worked together in Koi Mil Gaya and the Krrish series. His next project is Krrish 4, again with Hrithik.
