Hrithik Roshan: Essaying the role of Rohit in Krrish 3 (2013) was challenging for Hrithik. Since Koi Mil Gaya (the prequel to the superhero film) released in 2003, Rohit’s character had to look a little aged in Krrish. The result was that just like Amitabh Bachchan in Paa (2009), Hrithik spent more than four hours to get ready for those scenes with prosthetic expert, Mike Stringer (best known for Lord Of The Rings trilogy).
