Roshan plans a trilogy
After Koi...Mil Gaya and now Krissh, there might be a third in the series after all
Subhash K Jha
Even before Krissh hits the screen on June 23, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan is considering a third part in the sequence. Although this third part primarily depends on the success of Krissh, Roshan plans to make this segment with a bigger budget and more special effects. "Why not make a third part?" asks Roshan. "If Krissh works then I'll definitely make another segment."
Meanwhile, Roshan is not unnerved by the attempts of Priyanka Chopra's secretary to thwart the film's release. "The film will release on June 23, and nobody can change that,"he says. "As for my leading lady's former business manager I've sent him a legal notice. We're ready to take him on. He has no grounds for stopping my film. We're releasing the 750 prints, the maximum number ever for any Hindi film. With Koi…Mil Gaya we had only released 450 prints."
But what about other Hollywood films like Mission Impossible 3 and Superman with special effects being released at the same time? "I'm not worried. I'm not going to fall short in the special effects department, it is on par with them," he says. "Krissh isn't about a hero with super powers. It's only at the end that he gets these powers. So if this film works Hrithik can play a super-hero in the next instalment of the series."
The Tamil and Telugu versions of Krissh are also ready. "The dialogues are in Tamil and Telugu," says Roshan. "Otherwise they're identical to the Hindi version in every detail." Even though Hrithik didn't sit over the regional dubbing, Roshan selected the voice for his son very carefully. "Technically this is Hrithik's first regional film."
