Hrithik Roshan, the handsome hunk of bollywood who made ‘Krrish’ memorable by his superb performance, has been having major differences with his father Rakesh Roshan over the climax sequence of the upcoming sequel of this superhero blockbuster.

Though the father-son duo has agreed that this time Hrithik Roshan will face equally powerful villain with super natural powers but they are not being able to decide about the way of making this happen on screen.

Earlier, Rakesh Roshan had approached Shah Rukh Khan to play the character of villain opposite Hrithik in the film but things did not work out and the idea was dropped. They were also thinking on the lines of Hrithik playing the villain himself but that will entail the presence of three Hrithiks—Rohit from ‘Koi Mil Gaya’, Krishna from ‘Krrish’ and the third from this upcoming sequel.

To avoid this triple presence of Hrithik Roshan in the upcoming ‘Krrish 2’, Rakesh Roshan is hunting for a suitable hero to fill in the slot of villain opposite Hrithik in the film. The problem lies in the fact that they want someone of the equal stature of hero to play the negative character but after Shah Rukh declined the role, no one is willing to take it up for the fear of image change in the industry.

Currently, the Roshans are having a serious debate over the climax sequence of the film and any final decision in this regard is not expected before middle of the year and only after that the movie will go on the floor. The buzz doing the rounds in the industry is that Rakesh Roshan might not direct the upcoming sequel and may rope in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra of ‘ Rang De Basanti’ fame to direct it. But Rakeysh Mehra is said to be currently busy with his ‘Dilli-6’ and would consider taking up any other project only after that.

It may be recalled that earlier combinations of Hrithik Roshan and Rakesh Roshan have always produced blockbusters at the box office. They had started with ‘Kaho Na Pyar Hai’, a simple love story between Hrithik and Amisha Patel, which went on to become a super hit film at the box office due to actor’s dancing abilities and hit music. Similarly, ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ introduced an alien in bollywood films and the experiment proved super successful at the box office. Finally, ‘Krrish’ gave the superhero tag to Hrithik Roshan and made him one of the top icons of bollywood who could perform breathtaking stunts of international standards.

However, currently Rakesh Roshan and Hrithik Roshan are concentrating on their home production to be directed by Anurag Basu. Hrithik is playing the lead in the film, while Brazilian bombshell Bruna Abdullah essays the character of a salsa dancer
