Hrithik's triple-role whammy

Now, that's what we call a super-powered act! Not only is our green-eyed hunk flexing his superhero muscles in his dad-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan's <i>Krrish3</i>, he'll also be taking on the roles of Krrish's dad and son in the third installment of their famed franchise. And if he'd have had his way, Hrithik would've played the baddie too, but Roshan senior said ‘enough!' and hired Vivek Oberoi instead to fill the villain's shoes.

"It wasn't possible for Hrithik to play the villain as he was already playing three roles," revealed Roshan. Adding of why he picked Oberoi, "I had Vivek in mind right from the start as he has the right physique for it."

Our sources added that although there were a few big arguments between father and son over the casting, they finally set their differences aside to settle on Oberoi, with the filmmaker insisting there's no intense physical training required for either characters - "Both Hrithik and Vivek have the perfect physiques and there's nothing more they can do to better them."

Although comparisons with SRK's superhero act Ra.One, which boasts of spectacular special effects, are inevitable, Roshan insists he isn't keen on indulging in such thoughtless acts. "We're not really anxious about the special effects in other films," he claimed. "If there are three cars that must be blown up, we won't blow up six just to make it look better!"

So, move over G.One and Sal-man, and make way for B-town's superhero veteran, Krissh!
