'Gross Collection Of K3 Has Crossed 500 cr' - Rakesh Roshan

A newspaper today carried a report on the recently released Hrithik Roshan starrer Krrish 3's collections. While the article claimed that the makers of the film have fudged the overall BO collections to portray that the film has broken the existing records, the makers feel differently. Bollywood Hungama caught up with the film's producer-director Rakesh Roshan for his reaction to this.

Laughing at the report, Roshan says, "I really don't know what their intentions were, but when they asked me for the figures, I willingly gave them the same. Now they say that the figure of Rs. 237.15 crores is gross and not nett."

"I don't know where this buzz about fake figures has emerged from, but I feel that there are some people who really don't bother to go to the interiors and other sectors in a more detailed way to find out the actual numbers. I know the real figures; I have been getting updates from all my distributors, exhibitors and from places where my film is running right from the first day itself. So, I don't really care about this line of thinking", adds Roshan.

While dismissing the rumours about the collections being fudged, Roshan also questions the authenticity of the article, "How can I fudge Rs. 40-50 crores? Is it really that simple or is it a joke to change and pump up the collections? Besides they say that the figures I have shared are gross figures. In fact if I look at the gross figures that include the entertainment tax, and everything else, then Krrish 3's collection has crossed Rs. 500 crores. I think they really need to go back and learn the difference between gross and nett figures first."

Well, that explanation should settle the matter.
