Hrithik has a clear and a very ambitious vision of taking Krrish’s journey forward with the audience for the next decades. I couldn’t be more prouder to see him wear the director’s hat for a film that means the world to us as a family. Krrish has entertained audiences the world over and Hrithik will now reveal the next chapters of this superhero saga and take the vision I created so many years ago to greater heights.”
About the Krrish films
The first Krrish film was released in 2006 as a spin-off to Koi…Mil Gaya. It took the story forward with Rohit Mehra (Hrithik) and Nisha’s (Preity Zinta) son Krishna (also Hrithik) leading a sheltered life with his grandmother Sonia (Rekha). Things take a turn when he follows the girl he loves, Priya (Priyanka Chopra), out into the world. He soon assumes the identity of superhero Krrish to fight evil. It is one of the most successful film franchises in India.
