/> As the boxoffice figures of Krissh mutiply their zeroes, Hrithik Roshan had to reluctantly leave the hub of activity on Tuesday.

He's left the country to shoot for Sanjay Gadhvi's Dhoom 2 where he goes from world-saviour to universal-destroyer. "It was a 17-hour journey from London," Hrithik explained.

"I'm feeling terrible because I'm missing all the post-release excitement back home. But that's my destiny. My history says it all. I wasn't home during Kaho Na...Pyar Hai and Koi...Mil Gaya. At least I'm consistent," he jokes.

Hrithik will be away for a month shooting intricate action sequences in the never-before Bollywood terrain of Namibia. He'll be joined by Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai after a fortnight.

But he put forward a request before his Dhoom producer Aditya Chopra. "I've asked for a day off just to get my heart back into Dhoom 2. It's still with Krissh!"
