==Career==

===1970-1990===
{{BLP unsourced section|date=August 2016}}
After his father's ([[Roshan (music director)|Roshan Lal Nagrath]]) untimely death, Roshan started his career as an assistant director to film maker Mohan Kumar in films like Anjaana starring Rajendra Kumar and Babita. Actor Rajendra Kumar referred him to some film makers and thus he was signed by Soodesh Kumar for Man Mandir starring Sanjeev Kumar and Waheeda Rehman. But he made his entry as an actor, making his debut in the 1970 film ''[[Ghar Ghar Ki Kahani]]'', in which he got a supporting role. He got very few solo hero films in his career. He got solo hero roles in more women-oriented films where the focus was more on the heroine, such as ''[[Paraya Dhan]]'' with Hema Malini, ''[[Aankh Micholi]]'' with Bharati, ''[[Khubsoorat]]'' with Rekha and ''[[Kaamchor]]'' with Jaya Prada. His few successful solo hero films, with the focus equally on both hero and heroine, were ''[[Aankhon Aankhon Mein]]'' with Rakhee, ''[[Nafrat]]'' with Yogita Bali, ''[[Ek Kunwari Ek Kunwara]]'' with Leena Chandavarkar, ''[[Hamari Bahu Alka]]'' with Bindiya Goswami and ''[[Shubh Kaamna]]'' with Rati Agnihotri. J. Om Prakash produced ''[[Aankhon Aankhon Mein]]'' with Rakesh in the lead. Later, J. Om Prakash directed ''[[Aakraman]]'', with Sanjeev Kumar in the lead, and had Rakesh in a supporting role, and then produced ''Aakhir Kyun?'', with Rajesh Khanna in the lead and Rakesh in a supporting role. Rakesh played supporting roles in a few successful films such as ''[[Man Mandir]]'' with Sanjeev Kumar in the lead, ''[[Khel Khel Mein]]'' with Rishi Kapoor in the lead, ''[[Bullet (1976 film)|Bullet]]'' with Dev Anand as the hero, ''[[Hatyara]]'' with [[Vinod Khanna]] in the lead, ''[[Dhongee]]'' with [[Randhir Kapoor]], ''[[Khandaan (1979 film)|Khandaan]]'' with [[Jeetendra]] and ''[[Neeyat (film)|Neeyat]]'' with [[Shashi Kapoor]] as the lead hero. He played supporting roles regularly in films with [[Rajesh Khanna]] in the lead role and of those, ''[[Chalta Purza]]'' was a failure and the other three were blockbusters - ''[[Dhanwan (1981 film)|Dhanwan]]'', ''[[Awaaz]]'' and ''[[Aakhir Kyon?]]''. The few multi-star cast films he was part of as the lead hero that were successful between 1977 and 1986 were ''[[Devata]]'', ''[[Shriman Shrimati]]'' and ''[[Haathkadi (1982 film)|Haathkadi]]'', all of which had Sanjeev Kumar as the main lead hero and ''[[Jaag Utha Insan]]'' and ''[[Ek Aur Sikander]]'', which had Mithun Chakraborty in the main lead, and other hits such as ''[[Dil Aur Deewaar]]'', ''[[Khatta Meetha (1978 film)|Khatta Meetha]]'', ''Unees-Bees'' (1980) and ''Maqaar'' (1986). Most of his other films as second lead hero or solo hero films between 1973 and 1990 were box office flops.

Roshan set up his own production company, Filmkraft, in 1980 and their first production was ''[[Aap Ke Deewane]]'' (1980), which was a box office flop. His next venture was ''[[Kaamchor]]'', also produced by him, which became a hit, but the success of this film was attributed to its music and the heroine. His next solo hero film ''[[Shubh Kaamna]]'', directed by K. Vishwanath, was a hit. He tried to re-launch himself as a lead hero with ''[[Bhagwaan Dada]]'' (1986), directed by J. Om Prakash and starring Rajinikanth as the main lead and himself in the second lead. But ''[[Bhagwaan Dada]]'' was a flop. Between 1984 and 1990 he only got supporting roles, with the exception of ''[[Bahurani (1989 film)|Bahurani]]''. The multi-star films where he was the second lead, such as ''Maqaar'' and ''[[Ek Aur Sikander]]'' were successful. His last film as a leading hero was ''[[Bahurani (1989 film)|Bahurani]]'', which was a woman-oriented film starring Rekha in the lead, which was directed by Manik Chatterjee and released in 1989.

===1990–present===
[[File:Rakesh Roshan, Thakur Doultani & Hrithik Roshan.jpg|thumb|Roshan with his son [[Hrithik Roshan]] and Thakur Doultani]]
He made his directorial debut with ''[[Khudgarz]]'' (1987), and went on to direct box office hits such as ''[[Khoon Bhari Maang ]]'' (1988), ''[[Kishen Kanhaiya]]'' (1990), ''[[Karan Arjun]]'' (1995), and the [[Shahrukh Khan]] starrer ''[[Koyla]]'' (1997). However, his other directorial ventures flopped. During this time, from 1990 to 1999 he only acted occasionally in films, making guest appearances, and focused mostly on directing. He launched his son Hrithik's career as an actor with ''[[Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai]]'' (2000). Rakesh Roshan later revealed that this film was inspired by the storyline of [[Aradhana (1969 film)|Aradhana]], starring [[Rajesh Khanna]].<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://mdaily.bhaskar.com/news/ENT-BOW-roshan-kaabil-interview-5497798-NOR.html | title=GDPR | access-date=15 January 2017 | archive-date=16 January 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170116175511/https://mdaily.bhaskar.com/news/ENT-BOW-roshan-kaabil-interview-5497798-NOR.html | url-status=dead }}</ref> This film, the highest grosser of 2000, entered the [[Limca Book of Records]] for the most awards won by a Bollywood film. He directed his son again in the 2003 science fiction film ''[[Koi...

In 2010, he released a Bollywood meets Hollywood crossover film titled ''[[Kites (film)|Kites]]''. Another version of this film was released internationally and known as ''[[Kites:The Remix|Brett Ratner presents Kites: The Remix]]''. This version was shorter, and mainly toned down the amount of musical numbers. His latest film as producer was ''[[Kaabil]]'', which released on 25 Jan 2017. The film stars [[Hrithik Roshan]] and [[Yami Gautam]], and it grossed over Rs. 100 Crores at the box office.

===2000 Assassination Attempt===
On 21 January 2000, Roshan was shot at by two Budesh gang members near his office on Tilak Road at Santacruz West.<ref>[http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1917/19170340.htm The stars and the dons] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100728074038/http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1917/19170340.htm |date=28 July 2010 }}. Hinduonnet.com (11 November 2000). Retrieved on 2016-07-03.</ref> The assailants fired two bullets at him, one of which hit him on the left arm, while the other grazed his chest. As the director fell to the ground, the assailants fled the scene.<ref>[http://www.rediff.com/news/2000/jan/21roshan.htm Rakesh Roshan shot at] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140803025453/http://www.rediff.com/news/2000/jan/21roshan.htm |date=3 August 2014 }}. Rediff.com (21 January 2000). Retrieved on 2016-07-03.</ref> The assailants were later identified as Sunil Vithal Gaikwad and Sachin Kamble. The attack on Roshan was not undertaken with the intent to kill, but to signal that the [[Shiv Sena]] could no longer protect its clients. Roshan had stonewalled demands from Budesh for a percentage of the profits from the overseas sale of the Hindi all-time blockbuster; ''[[Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai]]''.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Swami, Praveen |url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1711/17110430.htm |title=Of politics and profit |volume=17 |issue=11 |date=June 2000 |journal=Frontline |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081007055526/http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1711/17110430.htm |archive-date=7 October 2008 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
