Hrithik Roshan
Not just superheroes, I've been
equally fascinated by super girls and
when one popped up in Krrish 3,
Kangana's (Ranaut) was the only
name on my mind. She was such a
perfect fit," reminisces Hrithik
Roshan. Kangana's character, that
of an antagonistic mutant with an
army of animals who
related stories
I will match the energy of IPL:
Priyanka Chopra
create havoc in Krrish's life in the 3D
fantasy adventure, is reportedly
modelled on Angelina Jolie's Lara
Croft look from the Tomb Raider
series, with a body-hugging costume
to match.
Hrithik, along with producer-
director father Rakesh
Roshan, had approached the
National Award-winning actor
a few years ago, with nothing
more substantial than an
idea.
But Kangana wasn't sure about the
role, and said no. "It wasn't fair on
our part to go to her without a
complete script," admits Hrithik.
After that, other actors were
considered, including Chitrangada
Singh and Jacqueline Fernandes. But
when things didn't work out with
them, the Roshans returned to
Kangana, this time with a script.
She was bowled over by the ups and
downs in the character's journey
detailed in a bound script and it was
an immediate 'yes'. She's reportedly
lost five kilos and trained in martial
arts to play her part in the much-
awaited sequel.
"Today, watching her in action, I
thank my stars we returned to her
and got the girl we had always
wanted. Kangana was our first choice
for a role very close to my heart.
She's a fantastic actor," raves
Hrithik. "Krrish 3 has lots of action,
but contrary to speculation, it's not
a dark adult film. It's a film for every
age. Children will get to see Krrish 3
too and hopefully will love it as much
as Koi…Mil Gaya (2003) and Krrish
(2006)."
Bad is good
Hrithik is playing two roles in Krrish 3,
that of father and son. "There's no
competition. I'm giving equally and
completely of myself to both parts.
Hopefully, both will make an impact,"
he says, confirming the buzz that he
had wanted to play a third role too,
that of the villain. "But my dad
wouldn't agree and today, when I see
Vivek's (Oberoi) performance, I can
only bow my head.
He's given 100 per cent to the role and
you're going to be surprised by a
completely new Vivek."
The buzz is that Vivek's character is
confined to a wheelchair. But Hrithik
won't confirm it. "It's much too
early to reveal details right now.
Shooting will wrap up around August-
September and the film releases only
next Diwali."
