Rakesh Roshan had finalized his heroine Priyanka Chopra for his blockbuster FilmKraft's KRRISH, when he saw her at Yash Johar's funeral. Admittedly, Roshan was attracted by her simple appearance, coupled by sophisticated manners. She was wearing a salwar-kameez and sporting glasses.
This was perhaps exactly what Rakesh Roshan was looking for in his heroine to play a television reporter in KRRISH, who is enamored by the invincibility of Hrithik Roshan. Besides Hrithik in the title role, and Priyanka, the film has Rekha in a key role of grandmother to Krrish, along with Manini De, Hemant Pande, Naseerudin Shah etc.
It has music by Rajesh Roshan and thrills by Tony Ching Siu of Hongkong, and Sham Kaushal, and special effects by Mark Kolbe and Craig Mumma of Hollywood, besides other crew. The film is slated for release in June.
