‘Stop manipulations on Krrish 3 business’
Bollywood superhero Hrithik Roshan has rubbished reports that the box office collection of his latest movie Krrish 3 have been inflated, adding that “derogatory manipulations need to stop”. Hrithik took to his official page on social networking website Facebook to clear his stand on the rumours.
“Some from the industry and certain sections of the media are hellbent on putting me, my father (Rakesh Roshan) and Krrish 3 down. I have maintained my silence until now but these derogatory manipulations need to stop,” the 39-year-old posted.
Krrish 3 has done a business of about 244 crore (in) India and around 55 crore (in) overseas,” he added. The actor, who played the lead hero in the movie, wonders “who these people are who have been so affected by these numbers and my success”.
I don't judge, I only offer opinion. I think ‘judgemental' and ‘judge' are harsher terms that we have to live with. Who am I to judge a dancer (when) I am not a dancerIJ
