Rakesh Roshan Says Krrish 3 was about to be shelved

Rakesh Roshan is a veteran producer cum director. And the major thing is he is the father of our own Indian Super hero not only in the real life but also in the reel life i.e. He is the father of Hrithik Roshan and in the film world he came up with the idea of Koi Mil Gaya and cast his son Hrithik for the role of Rohit Mehra. And that is how the new era of the Indian Super hero began. Rakesh Roshan came into the industry as a hero with the movie Ghar Ghar ki Kahaani. He gave a lot of hit films as a director like Khudgarz, Kishan Kanhaiya, Karan Arjun, Khoon bhari Maang and Koyla. But the movie that turned the tables for him as well his son Hrithik was Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai that came in 2000.

He says that after Krrish, he had dropped the idea of giving any more sequel to the movie. He said when he sat down to draft nothing used to get finalized in his mind, so he had dropped the idea. But, a year ago Hrithik himself prompted him to develop the sequel and hence everything fell into place within some months.

He says the most difficult task was Hrithik Roshan’s makeup as Rohit Verma. The veteran director says that he put his full confidence in a foreign makeup artist because he felt that they understand the role and the needed makeup way much better than the Indian artists. So he hired Mike Stringer, the well known makeup artist for Lord of the Rings trilogy.

He says that it was difficult for them to shoot the father and son sequence together so they shot Hrithik Roshan in Fathers role on one day and the next day they will shoot for the Sons role.

He said that he has also put a lot of emotions in the role Kaal, the villain role played by Vivek Oberoi. He has shown in the movie why Kaal has so much hatred in his heart against the whole world. All the other mutants have been given the characters having an animal like qualities. Kangana Ranuat plays the role of Kaaya, the mutant who has the characteristics of a chameleon. Both Kaal and Kaaya costumes are also designed by the foreign designers and their makeup was also very difficult to achieve.



The film was shot in Ramoji Rao studio, Hyderabad. The film's official trailer has gone viral over the internet and this has started an inevitable comparison between the international super heroes and Krrish.

Krrish 3 Makeup : Make Over of Real life Hrithik Roshan to Rohit (Krrish 3), Spent 4.5 Hours For Makeup

An Actor has to portray a lot of different roles in his life in order to make his acting versatile and in order to entertain people.  And in order to transform himself from the real life persona of what he is to the character of the movie of the fantasy world he has to apply a lot of makeup. He or she has to transform themselves in such a way that the public should feel that the role playing are real life characters. In short he has to bring the character to life. In the process of putting life into the imaginary role, an actor has to apply a lot of make up and transform himself.  Applying makeup is the most essential part of an actor’s life.

Hrithik Roshan had to do a lot of hard work and had to take a lot of pain in order to transform himself from real life Hrithik to the role of Rohit (Krrish’s father ) in Krrish 3. His makeup took about four to four and a half hours. Completing and promoting an action packed super- hero movie can be very painful after going through a complicated brain surgery. But Hrithik Roshan is very strong. Inspite of all these difficulties, he portrayed the role. After the surgery for the first time when he came in the makeup room, he was heard talking to the mirror that he has occasional headaches, but on the whole he is very happy and is very excited to unveil the first look of Krrish 3.

In the movie Krrish 3 Hrithik Roshan is playing three strikingly different roles of a father, a son and of a super-hero.  For him the Rohit look was most difficult to get. Since Krrish 3 was released in 2003, they needed the character to look fairly aged enough. He spent nearly four and a half hours to get ready for this role. He spent a lot of time with the makeup and prosthetic expert Mike Stringer (best known for Lord of the Rings Trilogy).  He was specially flown in for two schedules to do make up and prosthetic.

Rohit’s character had to maintain the childlike qualities and the helping nature and also he had to get the fatherly look. Mike Stringer  sat for multiple screenings of Koi Mil Gaya and then he sat with Hrithik to decide his look for Rohit’s character.  They tried out several looks before they decided to go for the final call. The makeup and the prosthetics had to be finished on the set, so Hrithik had to report five hours in advance on the set.  As for the look of Krishna (Rohit’s Son) they did not need to do any makeup. The natural look of Hrithik Roshan was fine for it. 

For the character of Krrish the mask is slightly enhanced from the original one and did not need a lot of make up.  Hrithik Roshan had to modulate his voice in three different styles befitting the three different characters he is playing.
