Hrithik Roshan’s stunt double reveals he learnt martial arts with Sushant Singh Rajput in the same class
Hrithik Roshan
A stand-in for Hrithik Roshan in the film Vikram Vedha The internet went crazy over Mansoor Ali Khan after fans noticed a striking resemblance to the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The stuntman seems mildly amused by the reaction to his photo, and in a recent conversation, he revealed that he trained with SSR more than ten years ago.
In 2009, Mansoor told HT that he and Sushant would study martial arts together, taught by the same instructor. In his words, they would regularly greet one another upon crossing paths. Even though Sushant hadn’t yet started working in television, people still frequently remarked on how much they looked alike.
Mansoor, a native of Delhi, relocated to Mumbai in search of better employment opportunities. His uncle, he said, was an action master for twenty-five years, and that inspired him to get into movies. When asked about his first Bollywood film, Mansoor said it was Salman Khan’s Wanted. Ek Tha Tiger, Agneepath, Kaabil, Bang Bang! Super 30, War, and most recently Vikram Vedha all featured his stunt work.
Hrithik is responsible for much of Mansoor’s success in the business world. While acknowledging Hrithik’s celebrity status, he said the actor never treated him like a minor. Mansoor said that when they first met, he greeted the star by saying, “hum saath mein aur kaam karenge” (I am your fan and I want you to succeed in your career).
People on the internet only recently began noticing the similarities between Mansoor and the late SSR after he posted a picture of himself and Hrithik on Instagram to wish Hrithik a happy birthday. One fan commented, “He looks like Sushant Singh Rajput,” and another agreed, saying, “The other guy looks like Sushant.” Who is that person who looks so much like Sushant, asked another user.
