`Kid Krrish` better than `Krrish`, says Hrithik Roshan

Mumbai: Actor Hrithik Roshan, who Tuesday unveiled `Kid Krrish`, the animated movie based on Bollywood movie `Krrish`, says the animated version is better than the latter. "The only difference between the two is `Kid Krrish` is better than Krrish," Hrithik told reporters at the unveiling. `Kid Krrish` will be premiered on Cartoon Network Oct 2 at 12 noon. "`Kid Krrish` can jump and do everything without any help. The similarities, I feel, is we have the child alive inside us," added the actor, saying his two sons - Hrehaan and Hridhaan - have already seen `Kid Krrish`. "Both my kids have seen the first movie of `Kid Krrish` and they have fallen in love with it. So it`s already successful." Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan`s Filmkraft Productions partnered with Turner International India and Kerala-headquartered Toonz Animation to create four animated movies based on hit superhero movie `Krrish`. The partnership was announced earlier this year and planned to bring India`s favourite superhero `Krrish` in an animated avtar. Rakesh Roshan said that for the first time a Bollywood character has got an animated version. "The character of Krrish has been idolized by every child in India and has become an iconic superhero. We believe that `Kid Krrish` will be the new superhero for a whole new generation of children and a benchmark in animated series of live action films," he said. Currently the Roshans are gearing up for the release of `Krrish 3`. Slated to come out Nov 4, this is the third film in the franchise that began with `Koi Mil Gaya` in 2003. IANS
