Now, Hrithik, Rakesh, and Indian film trade analyst Komal Nahta, shared some inside stories of the super hit film.

In an interview, Hrithik Roshan revealed many inside stories of Koi... Mil Gaya. Talking about the character of Rohit Mehra and how the film would still work if Jaadoo was a cardboard box, the actor said, "The genius of Koi... Mil Gaya is the way Papa (Rakesh Roshan) scripted the character of Rohit, creating an atmosphere of such desperate wanting and seeding that want in the audiences' hearts and minds. The audience wanted Rohit to have a victory. I wanted him to be vindicated, wanted to see him joyful and happy. We wanted that relief and that was created so beautifully that if you ask me agar Jaadoo ek cardboard box bhi hota na toh (if Jaadoo was a cardboard box) film would have worked. If Jaadoo had come like a cardboard box with no expression but given that relief to Rohit the film would have still worked."

He further added, "The script needs to warrant the fantastic that you want to bring into it so the writing process is where the magic really is. As filmmakers and film students, we must remember that we need to create the need first. If the need is right and correct whatever you bring in half of your battle is won."
