Mumbai, Oct 1 ( IANS) Actor Hrithik Roshan, who will be seen as a superhero in his filmmaker father’s movie “Krrish 3”, says his dad is his superhero.
Hrithik also credited his father with popularising the superhero genre in Bollywood with the “Krrish” franchise, which started with “Koi Mil Gaya”.
“I am thankful to my dad. If he didn’t exist, there would have been no superhero genre in Indian cinema. He has broken all the barriers and has made it possible. This is because of the power of his conviction. For me, my father is my superhero, ” Hrithik told reporters here Tuesday at the launch of “Krrish 3” merchandise.
