Hrithik Roshan Reveals How Lord Of The Rings Inspired His Father To Make Krrish

In
a
career
spanning
over
two
decades,
Hrithik
Roshan
has
been
a
part
of
several
movies
including
sci-fi
flicks
like

Koi…Mil
Gaya
and

Krrish
franchise.
Recently,
the
superstar
at
an
event
revealed
how
the
idea
to
turn

Koi…Mil
Gaya
into
a
franchise
dawned
upon
his
filmmaker-dad
Rakesh
Roshan.

At
a
special
event
of
the
release
of

The
Lord
of
the
Rings:
The
Rings
of
Power
on
Amazon
Prime
Video,
the

War
star
revealed
that
his
father,
after
binge-watching
Peter
Jackson’s
The
Lord
of
the
Rings
trilogy
in
2004,
called
him
up
and
suggested
that
they
too
should
build
an
entire
universe
around

Koi…Mil
Gaya.

Hrithik
said,
“There’s
a
little
connection
between
me
and
the

Lord
of
the
Rings,
which
I
don’t
think
anyone
knows.
One
random
day
back
in
2004,
my
dad
watched

The
Lord
of
the
Rings
part
one.
He
couldn’t
stop
so
he
watched
part
two,
and
then
he
saw
part
three.
He
gave
me
a
call.”

He
further
continued,
“And
he
was
talking
about
how
they
used
this
one
idea
and
expanded
on
it.
He
said,
‘Why
can’t
we
do
that?’
So
I
asked,
‘Okay,
but
what
do
you
want
to
do?’
So
he
said,
‘Why
can’t
we
take

Koi…Mil
Gaya,
one
of
our
previous
films,
and
build
on
that?’
And
that
was
the
birth
of

Krrish.
So
if
there
was
no

Lord
of
the
Rings,
there
wouldn’t
have
been
any

Krrish.”

Meanwhile,
recently,
there
were
reports
doing
the
rounds
that
Krrish
4
is
in
the
works
and
director
Rakesh
Roshan
is
currently
working
on
the
crucial
parts
of
the
story.

On
the
other
hand,
Hrithik
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of

Vikram
Vedha
which
is
slated
to
hit
the
big
screens
in
September.
The
actor
also
has
Siddharth
Anand’s

Fighter
in
the
pipeline.
