"For the past few months, I have only been going to work and coming back home. I have been focusing on the post production work of 'Krrish 3'. I had no idea about the party," Rakesh said. "Such parties are nice because you get to meet all your old friends and associates. When your children are doing it out of love, it is special," he added.

Hrithik, who underwent a brain surgery in July, is said to have delivered a touching speech for his father, who gave the actor a perfect launchpad in filmdom with 'Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai' in 2000.

The father-son duo are now awaiting the release of their ambitious project 'Krrish 3', the third film of their franchise which began with 'Koi Mil Gaya' in 2003, followed by 'Krrish' in 2006.

'Krrish 3', which will see Hrithik play a superhero once again, is slated for release on November 4. The film also stars Vivek Oberoi, Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Ranaut.
