Actor Hrithik Roshan, who donned the superhero avatar in the “Krrish” franchise, doesn’t need a superwoman in real life. “I don’t think I need a superwoman in real life because I have my mother (Pinky), wife (Sussanne) and sister (Sunaina). They are my superwomen and I’m glad to have them in my life. They hold a very special place and I don’t want anyone else to replace it,” Hrithik told reporters here Monday. He was speaking at the meet-and-greet event organized to celebrate the success of “Krrish 3?, which has reportedly minted over Rs.200 crore worldwide.
When asked how it makes him feel to play a superhero, he said: “Being a superhero is like playing any one of us because we all have it inside us. It has been a great journey for me and I learnt a lot by playing the character.” “I have learnt about several values a superhero posses and his service to the world. Even if we have five percent of those values, we can make the world a nicer place to live,” he added. Rakesh Roshan-directed and produced “Krrish 3?, which also features Kangana Ranaut, Priyanka Chopra and Vivek Oberoi in important roles, has done exceptionally well in Tamil Nadu as well.

Hrithik Roshan's Chennai visit for the Krrish 3 after-release promotion, turned out to be a memorable moment for the fans. The actor arrived for a press meet at the Sathyam Cinemas Chennai and the area was packed with the ardent fans of the superhero. P.T Selvakumar, the manager of Vijay was present at the venue on behalf of Vijay, because the actor could not make it as he is busy shooting for Jilla. P.T Selvakumar mentioned that Vijay watched the movie with his family and that his kids enjoyed the movie a lot.
Thiru, the cinematographer of Krrish 3, spoke to the media and stated that the movie was on par with Hollywood techniques and that all the credit goes to Hrithik and Rakesh Roshan. Rakesh Roshan was extremely happy with the increase in the total number of prints released in South India in the second week of its release. There were questions from the people in the press asking if Rakesh Roshan would make a film with Hrithik other than the Krrish series. "I am ready" was the reply from the director. He also mentioned that he did not release the movie in 3D because they had no time for conversion and also reiterated that the recently released 3D flicks did not do well, which is another reason for not making a 3D version.
When Hrithik picked up the mike to speak, he was welcomed with a loud roar. The actor started off saying... "Chennai I love you ... Thank you all .." The actor was overwhelmed with such a huge response from the people of Chennai.
