"Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai", "Koi... Mil Gaya" and now "Krrish", filmmaker Rakesh Roshan is ready to unveil his third film with son Hrithik who he says has made his team so much stronger.

"Since Hrithik has joined us - I mean me and my brother (music composer Rajesh Roshan) - we have become a stronger team of talents," Rakesh Roshan told over the phone.

"Krrish", a sequel to the super duper hit "Koi... Mil Gaya", was premiered in Singapore Tuesday and hits screens in India Friday.

Roshan, who was in Singapore with son Hrithik for the release of the film, is modest about his expectations from the film.

"I am not expecting the magic of 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai' or 'Koi... Mil Gaya'... We all have given our best to it and rest I have left to god because only he can create magic."

Roshan denies that there is any resemblance between his protagonist and Hollywood super heroes "Superman" or "Spiderman".

"Basically it is a love story and other things are added attractions - three stories run simultaneously in the film - one is the grandmother and grandson, other is the love story and the third is Krrish."

Hrithik is romancing a different heroine in all three films -- in "Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai" it was Amisha Patel, in "Koi..." it was Preity Zinta and in "Krrish" it is Priyanka Chopra.

Roshan explained the logic: "With a new face, the pair looks fresh. It doesn't excite the audience when you have the same girl boy and same girl."

"Priyanka Chopra is playing a STAR News journalist. She is on a vacation and she meets Krishna during her vacation," he said, disclosing some details about the film.

Veteran Naseeruddin Shah will also be seen in a negative role in the sci-fi thriller.

"He is playing a scientist who is full of new ideas and innovates new things. I can't reveal much about his role. For the rest you will have to see the movie."

The film was extensively shot in Singapore. "I shot 'Krrish' in Singapore because I wanted to shoot the film in a concrete jungle. We shot there for 65 days and the Singapore Tourism Board helped us a lot."

Talking about the box office performance of the film, which has been made at a budget of Rs.500 million, he said: "It is difficult to estimate its box-office performance because in last few years box-office collections have gone up tremendously. With each day it is going higher.

"In 1995 my film 'Karan Arjun' grossed 50 million per territory - if I were to have released it today it would have earned Rs.150 to 200 million per territory."
