Nobody imagined that a movie based on aliens would make it so big in Bollywood and would go on to create several records at the box office. But, director Rakesh Roshan took the risk of making a film on aliens and it paid off. Fans loved the film which starred Preity Zinta, Rekha, and Hrithik Roshan in lead roles. The success of the film also paved the way for Krrish franchise in Bollywood.
The first Krrish film released in in the year 2006. The superhot Bollywood film starred once again Hrithik Roshan in lead role along with Priyanka Chopra, Rekha, and Naseeruddin Shah, among others. Krrish was the sequel to 2003 released film Koi Mil Gaya and linked to the story of Krishna, the son of earlier film’s protagonist, who inherited his father’s superhuman qualities.
Krrish turned out to be a blockbuster film and a trendsetter in Indian cinema. Following the success of Krrish, Krrish 3 was made and released in the year 2013. The film. featured HrithikRoshan, Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut, and Vivek Oberoi. The film was also highly successful and set a new era in Bollywood.
