There's Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and now Indian cinema gets its very own Krrish with superstar Hrithik Roshan enacting the role of a mythical hero hidden behind a mysterious mask who conquers all evil.

Dual identities and anonymity have been common traits of Hollywood comic book superheroes and Hrithik just takes over from where he left audiences in father Rakesh Roshan's earlier hit "Koi... Mil Gaya", which also touched on the supernatural.

While the lovable alien Jadoo played a key role in "Koi... Mil Gaya", the sequel "Krrish" has a mysterious mask playing a significant part. Of course, it is no ordinary mask and is pivotal in the transformation of Krishna, the simple boy in dhoti prancing in the fields, to Krrish, the enigmatic black caped hero looking down at the glittering skyline of a big city.

Krrish as we can imagine gets all his extraordinary powers from a mask.

The mask is introduced in the film when a circus tent catches fire. Krishna, who is also there, spots the mask and gets supernatural powers when he wears it. He uses the power to save people.

Throughout the film Hrithik ducks in and out of his mask to protect his real identity and this is said to be one of the USPs of "Krrish".

The film combines rare special effects wizardry and action-packed fantasy to create a truly spectacle film. Interestingly, however, it does not show bloodshed or violence in any form.

"There is no bloodshed or fisticuffs in the film. The action is on a higher, conceptual plain of visual thrills. It has a multidimensional effect when projected on screen and I am sure it will be a feast for audiences of all ages and their inherent tastes," director Rakesh Roshan told.

As always in all his films, be it "King Uncle" or "Koi... Mil Gaya", children play an important role in this Rakesh Roshan film too.

Keeping children in mind, Roshan has pooled resources from two schools instead of signing child artistes.

He roped in 15 students from the Chao Yang Special School of Singapore and 16 from Delhi's Shri Ram School for various scenes, including a song. The entire sequence with the kids was shot near the Kallang river in Singapore.

Roshan shot the film extensively in Singapore and plans to hold the premiere of the film in that country as a goodwill gesture with the entire cast and crew in attendance.

"Krrish", which is slated for June release, is partly promoted by the Singapore Tourism Board and The Indian Women's Association of Singapore.

Rekha, who is Roshan's lucky mascot, plays Hrithik's grandmother and Priyanka Chopra is his leading lady in the film.

While Preity Zinta will make a guest appearance, Naseeruddin Shah, most recently seen in Homi Adajania's dark comedy "Being Cyrus", will be seen in an important but small role.

To have a superhero as the protagonist of a film is a novel concept for Indian celluloid. It has to be seen whether Hrithik surpasses the invincible Hollywood superheroes and proves to be a bigger one.
