Sources say the Chennai Express bash thrown this week by a television channel was planned out of the blue when Krrish 3 threatened to become much bigger than expected.
Says the source, `There was no occasion for the celebration. High TRP ratings for the television premiere of Chennai Express toh party ka bahaana ttha. Actually it's a show of strength at a time when Krrish 3 opened much bigger than expected and went on to join the 100-crore club in the first 5 days. The Chennai team needed some quick attention-grabbing tactic.`
Now the Krrish 3 team is gearing up for what a part of the film's core team describes as the `bash of the century`.
Says the source, `It would be the mother of all parties. Rakesh and Hrithik Roshan want to celebrate not just the success of Krrish 3 but their unbroken string of successes over the years.It would be a bash where everyone who is someone from the field entertainment, sports and politics would attend.`
When contacted Rakesh Roshan admitted something is being planned. `Maybe after the second week when we'd know exactly where our film stands. But let me tell you, every day is a celebration for us.`
About Krrish 3 out-shining Chennai Express at the boxoffice Rakesh Roshan says, `I am not in competition with any other film. Let the merit of my film speak for itself.`
