Hrithik Roshan

It is safe to say that Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish is probably the first superhero movie in India that received massive success. Quite similar to many other superheroes, Hrithik Roshan has also donned a mask in the film. A sequel to Koi Mil Gaya, Krrish at that time had become not just a popular and successful film but also became a superhero brand in itself. Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish had also starred top-class actors such as Priyanka Chopra and Rekha. The film was then followed by another sequel called Krrish 3, which starred Vivek Oberoi as the villain and reprised the role of Priyanka Chopra. Hrithik Roshan's Krrish franchise is definitely one of the most popular superhero movies of Bollywood.
