Actor Hrithik Roshan, who Tuesday unveiled "Kid
Krrish", the animated movie based on Bollywood movie "Krrish",
says the animated version is better than the latter.
"The only difference between the two is 'Kid
Krrish' is better than Krrish," Hrithik told reporters at the unveiling.
"Kid Krrish" will be premiered on Cartoon
Network Oct 2 at 12 noon.
"'Kid Krrish' can jump and do everything
without any help. The similarities, I feel, is we have the child alive inside
us," added the actor, saying his two sons - Hrehaan and Hridhaan - have
already seen "Kid Krrish".
"Both my kids have seen the first movie of 'Kid
Krrish' and they have fallen in love with it. So it's already successful."
Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan's Filmkraft Productions
partnered with Turner International India and Kerala-headquartered Toonz
Animation to create four animated movies based on hit superhero movie
"Krrish".
The partnership was announced earlier this year and
planned to bring India's favourite superhero "Krrish" in an animated
avtar.
Rakesh Roshan said that for the first time a
Bollywood character has got an animated version.
"The character of Krrish has been idolized by
every child in India and has become an iconic superhero. We believe that 'Kid
Krrish' will be the new superhero for a whole new generation of children and a
benchmark in animated series of live action films," he said.
Currently the Roshans are gearing up for the release
of "Krrish 3".
Slated to come out Nov 4, this is the third film in
the franchise that began with "Koi Mil Gaya" in 2003.
