Krrish 3 will reportedly see a wide release and hit about 3,500 screens.
New Delhi:
Well-equipped with a spectacular range of special effects, extravagant action sequences a la Hollywood and Hrithik Roshan as superhero, Krrish 3 promises a double bonanza for movie buffs when it comes out on Friday, just two days before Diwali.
According to sources, the Rs.100-Rs.150 crore film will see a wide release and hit about 3,500 screens.
When asked about the cost, the film's director-producer Rakesh Roshan said: "I can't reveal the budget of the movie, but it has been a very costly film."
A third in the franchise that began with the 2003 hit sci-fi movie Koi... Mil Gaya, Krrish 3 will take forward the story of the superhero Krrish, played by Hrithik.
The film also features Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut and Vivek Oberoi. While Priyanka plays Hrithik's love interest, Kangana and Vivek will be seen in negative roles.
Predicting a "thunderous start" for the film, trade analyst Taran Adarsh feels that eventually the film's content will decide its course.
If Krrish 2 saw Krishna defeating Siddhant Arya to save his father Rohit, Krrish 3 will reportedly see the superhero fighting a dark force, an evil genius who is spreading fear.
"I am certain that the film will see a thunderous start. But then after that the content of the film will decide how many people go and see it," Adarsh said.
Rakesh Roshan is confident that the film will make audiences "proud".
"I don't know how the opening will be for the film. But the film has been made well and it will definitely make audiences proud," Roshan said.
Red Chillies VFX, a subdivision of Shah Rukh's motion picture production banner Red Chillies Entertainment, worked on the special effects worth Rs.26 crore for Krrish 3.
Aggressive promotion has become must in the current scenario as the first three days' collection can make or break a film. And the Roshans have done everything - from tapping digital space by launching the first poster Facebook to merchandising to travelling to various cities.
Also, a range of special emoticons were launched as a part of the film's promotions on social networking site Facebook.
