Rrrrrrrrrring to go ...

Krrish is short for Krishna (no idea if that extra 'R' is meant to give him that extra whiz). That's also the name of the latest Bollywood release after Fanaa, starring Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra. Krrish is born with un-natural powers much like the famous Superman.

Except, our Bollywood superhero does not have a logo stencilled across his chest like the Superman, even though it beats the Hollywood blockbuster by a week when it comes to the release date. Watch for it this Friday! Rakesh Roshan is getting creative again- but if we can forgive him for 'Koi Mil Gaya', I guess he's taken up the reins to explore some fresh avenues for Bollywood. Krrish is his latest venture in that direction featuring his favourite hero- his own son Hrithik Roshan.

Seasoned Hollywood special effects experts Marc Kolbe [Link] and Craig Mumma [Link](Independence Day, Godzilla, Deep Blue Sea etc.) have lent their talents in collaboration with EFX and Prasad Film Labs. The $10 million and professional treatment show in the quality of this film, but what will sell it finally is a quality story. But of course the Roshans can rely on the junta because if they made Jadoo ... oops Koi Mil Gaya a blockbuster, they can make Krrish a mega blockbuster! Visit the official website [Link].
