The idea behind the animated venture, said Rakesh, is to expand the merchandising possibilities. He hopes to make at least $3 million from the clothes, toys, shoes, games and other merchandise that will be based on both the cartoons and the movies. This is the first time that such an ambitious merchandising attempt is being made in the Indian film industry, and also the first that a character from a Bollywood movie is being animated.

Hrithik stuck to how good the animated version of the character Krrish is. In fact, he felt that the cartoon was much better than the movie. His kids Hrehaan and Hridhaan have both seen it already and given it their hearty stamp of approval, so for Hrithik it is already a success.

Kid Krrish will be broadcast at noon on October 2, 2013.
