Hrithik Roshan is all set to return as Krissh in the fourth segment of the franchise. This time there is a strong possibility of a twist in the tale.

Hrithik may play both the protagonist and the antagonist in Krissh.

Explaining this startling decision a source in the know says, “See, for Hrithik’s super-hero character to be effective, there must be a powerful antagonist who can stand opposite the protagonist. Hrithik has always been fascinated by the villain in the super-hero films. He has expressed his desire to his father Rakesh Roshan to play both Krissh and his adversary in Krissh 4. The idea is being developed. It now depends entirely on how the screenplay shapes up. Rakeshji will only go ahead with Hrithik in both the main roles if he likes the idea.”

Interestingly, Hrithik had played a double role at the beginning of his career when his father had launched him in the year 2000 in Kaho…Na Pyar Hai. Now with the spectacular stardom that Hrithik rightfully owns, a double role for the star means double the box-office collections.

Incidentally, Viveik Oberoi had played the archvillain in Krissh 3 and, ahem. Kangana Ranaut was the female villain.
