There were some Amzing visual moments — such as Krishna towering over everything with a chakra like motion in the backdrop—was that a conscious move to sort of Indianise the content for the audience to connect with?
We went with it because Rohit prayed to Krishna and Jaadu came as an avatar of Krishna, because he was blue. So we just took all that and named Rohit's son Krishna. And then there's a scene where he has to tell the girl he saved, his name. She asks him 'who are you?' And he's about to say Krishna when he remembers the promise that he gave his daadi that he would not disclose his identity. He begins to say Krrish and stops at that, and it sticks. So we called him Krrish.
