"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?' That's how 'Krrish' came into being. I have to thank the makers of 'LOTR' for the idea behind the franchise of 'Krrish'," he concluded.

'Koi Mil Gaya' released in the year 2003 and received a lot of love. The film stars Preity Zinta and Rekha and also has a guest appearance by Rakesh Roshan. The franchise wrapped up in 'Krrish 3' starring Priyanka Chopra, the film hit the screens in the year 2013.
