Hrithik Roshan on Wednesday marked 15 years of his hit film Krrish as he announced the fourth installment of his superhero flick. “The past is done. Let’s see what the future brings. #15YearsOfKrrish #Krrish4,” wrote Hrithik along with a video that showed his Krrish avatar throwing the signature mask at the screen, while celebrating that the film has completed 15 years since its release in 2006.
Krrish is the second film in the franchise directed by Rakesh Roshan. Its prequel Koi Mil Gaya laid the foundation story of Rohit Mehra who gets superhuman abilities after befriending an alien. His powers are inherited by son Krishna Mehra in the second outing and he struggles to keep his alter ego Krrish under wraps. However, he is forced to reveal his identity to save the world eventually. Krissh played by Hrithik Roshan is the original superhero of Bollywood. The last film in the multi-faceted franchise came out in 2013 starring Kangana Ranaut, Vivek Oberoi, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in key roles. On the work front, Hrithik was last seen in Siddharth Anand's blockbuster hit War. His next film is Fighter, also directed by Siddharth, and co-starring Deepika Padukone.
