Krrish () is a 2006 Indian Hindi-language superhero action thriller film directed and produced by Rakesh Roshan. The film stars Hrithik Roshan in the main dual lead role, alongside Priyanka Chopra, Naseeruddin Shah, Rekha, Sharat Saxena and Manini Mishra. It is the second instalment in the Krrish franchise and a sequel to Koi... Mil Gaya. In the film, Krishna Mehra, who has superhuman abilities like his father Rohit Mehra, falls in love with Priya and follows her to Singapore, where he takes on the superhero persona of Krrish and sets out to thwart the plans of the evil scientist Dr. Siddhant Arya, who is creating a supercomputer which shows the future.

Krrish was conceived to be a film of global significance and a trendsetter in Indian cinema, with VFX on par with those from Hollywood. To that end, the effects team was aided by Marc Kolbe and Craig Mumma and the action scenes were choreographed by Tony Ching. The music was composed by Rajesh Roshan, while the background score was composed by Salim–Sulaiman. Filming was done to a large extent in Singapore as well as India.
