Hrithik Roshan Decided The Title For The Movie Krrish. Know How He Came Up With That Term
Rakesh Roshan shared that the Krrish title was given by Hrithik. He was naming it something else but Hrithik insisted that since they were making a superhero film, a name needed to be given to the character, which could act as the title of the film and which could be used even in the films going forward. When Hrithik was asked about what convinced him to go ahead with 'Krrish' as the name of the character and the title of the film, he said, "If we were going ahead with a symbolic superhero, it had to be a name that is quick on the tongue and it would sound a bit fantastical. Krishna is where Krrish comes from. And the way we constructed how the name lands in the film is that the mother takes a promise from him that he won't reveal his identity to anyone. In the circus, when he sees that the people are in danger, he hides his identity by picking up a clown's mask. He wears that clown's mask and goes and saves people and when he is saving this little boy, to be able to connect with him and to feel safe to come out, he introduces himself to him and he is about to say 'I am Krishna' but he remembers his mother's promise and stops at Krrish. He says 'I am Krrish' and does not continue. So the kid tells everyone that he is Krrish and that's how it came up."
