Singapore: On Tuesday producer / director Rakesh Roshan, said he will dub his latest film, Krrish, into Chinese and Malay, if the distributors desire it."We will dub it in Chinese if the distributor asked for it," Roshan said at a press conference on Tuesday, in advance of his campaign to promote the film in major cities with a large following for Indian films.
Krrish will premier Thursday, June 22 in Singapore.
Roshan said the rights have already been granted to dub the film in Tamil, Telugu, Spanish and German and it is likely he would do so for Malay as well, as Indian films have large followings in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Roshan, son Hrithik Roshan and the film's heroine Priyanka Chopra are in Singapore for the first of the publicity stops for the film.
Krrish, sequel to the 2004 hit film Koi... Mil Gaya is the first Indian large scale film to be filmed under the Singapore Tourism Board's "Film in Singapore!" Scheme.
About 60 per cent of the film was shot there over a 65-day period from September to November last year.
"Krrish showcases Singapore in a very unique light and I'm proud to show that to audiences the world over," Mr Roshan told Indian and international media.
"The diversity of scenes made Singapore an obvious choice when I was considering locations. It is a decision that has paid off handsomely. It was a breeze filming in Singapore, thanks to its efficiency and well developed infrastructure," he said.
Roshan and the Singapore Tourism Board hammered out an arrangement in 2004 in order for him to shoot most of Krrish in Singapore.
"As the title character gifted with superpowers by an alien, Hrithik has never looked more athletic than in Krrish," he said.
Hrithik, himself, performed all the stunts for the physically demanding role, which included jumping from bumboat to bumboat along the historic Singapore River while in pursuit of the film's villain, Dr Siddhant Arya, played by veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah.
