In an old photograph, Hrithik Roshan can be seen standing with stuntman Mansoor Ali Khan on the set of his movie Vikram Vedha (2022). The retro image was posted on Instagram on Thursday, shocking fans of the late Sushant Singh Rajput who dubbed Hrithik's stuntman as a "copy of SSR" (Sushant Singh Rajput). Viewers were in awe of Mansoor's striking likeness to Sushant and flooded the paparazzo's post's comments section with tributes to the late star, who passed away in 2020.
In the picture, Mansoor and Hrithik Roshan are seen filming for Vikram Vedha while wearing matching black shirts and pants. Fans remarked that Mansoor resembled Sushant exactly, minus the beard and shaggy, unruly hair. A fan reacted, "Oh my God, replica of SSR (Sushant Singh Rajput)." Another one commented, "Stuntman resembles SSR." Another fan wrote, "The fact that he looks like SSR, also his name is Mansoor, Sushant's character's name from Kedarnath (2018)!" One more said, "Ek pal ko laga Sushant hai Hritik ke sath (for a moment I felt it was Sushant with Hrithik)."
Mansoor first shared the image on Instagram last month as a birthday greeting for Hrithik. He had written: in his caption. "Happy Birthday bhai Hrithik Roshan. You are a super star with pure heart, so grounded and so humble, so caring, so loving person. You always appreciate and respect others talent!! Also a super friendly human…" A person had commented on his post at the time, "Yeh toh Sushant hai bhai (brother, this is Sushant)."
