Hrithik Roshan, who will be seen next in Vikram Vedha, shared the connection he has with the epic film franchise, Lord Of The Rings (LOTR)
Regarded as one of the greatest trilogies, LOTR, based on the novel written by J.R.R. Tolkien, has long fascinated lovers of fantasy films.
Speaking at the sidelines of a promotional event for the upcoming streaming series ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Roshan said, “It was in 2004 when my father saw the first part of Lord Of The Rings. After finishing the movie, he couldn’t help but head to the second part. Post that he put on the third part too for viewing. Yeah, he completed the trilogy in a single day back then.”
Hrithik Roshan’s father is actor and director Rakesh Roshan. Roshan said that his father got the idea of making a series from LOTR. “At one point during our conversation he asked me, ‘Why can’t we have subsequent editions to our films? How about we extend Koi… Mil Gaya? (2003) That’s how Krrish (2006) came into being,” he said.
The Krrish franchise started with Koi… Mil Gaya, which was released a year before Rakesh Roshan watched the LOTR trology. The Krrish franchise was rounded up with the third film, titled Krrish 3 (2013).
Roshan said, “I have to thank the makers of LOTR for the idea behind the franchise of Krrish.”
