Bollywood’s favourite Superhero shoots for his first theme park ride at Bollywood Parks™ Dubai

Bollywood Parks™ Dubai, the world’s first Bollywood inspired theme park and part of Dubai Parks and Resorts, the largest integrated theme park destination set to open on October 31 2016, promises to showcase the ultimate Bollywood experience through its themed attractions and rides for visitors. The park has collaborated with the new-age superhero of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan to recreate the magic of Krrish for its 4D flying theatre ride Krrish: Hero’s Flight at Bollywood Parks™ Dubai.

Hrithik Roshan will appear as the lead from his movie Krrish and guests of Bollywood Parks™ Dubai will be able to join the masked hero on the region’s first panoramic flying ride that takes in some of India’s most famous landscapes.  

The ride follows the life of Krrish, the superhero, who faces an elaborate conspiracy orchestrated by an evil genius.

Originally directed and produced by Rakesh Roshan, under the banner of Filmkraft Productions Pvt. Ltd, Krrish was conceived to be a film of global significance and a trendsetter in Indian cinema, with visual effects on par with those from Hollywood. Keeping in line with the movie’s cinematic brilliance, Bollywood Parks™ Dubai has collaborated with Prana Studios, who have been a part of various Hollywood projects in the past, including Transformers, Disney’s Planes, Tron as well as Universal Studios latest attraction - Skull Island: Reign of Kong at Florida. Prana Studio’s collaboration with Bollywood Parks™ Dubai will bring world class digital imagery for the Krrish: Hero’s Flight ride, where visitors will get the chance to fight the villains alongside Krrish.

While shooting for behind the scenes video of the ride, ace cinematographer, Sudeep Chatterjee of Dhoom3, Chak de India, and Bajirao Mastani fame, said, “This will be an amazing ride for Bollywood Parks™ Dubai.”

The behind the scenes video will take Bollywood fans through the journey of the making of the Krrish: Hero’s Flight ride, while also showcasing the grandees of the Indian film industry who came together to ensure all the magic of Bollywood was captured in this ride.  

Also seen working hard with the team at the shoot was Action Director, Shyam Kaushal of Slumdog Millionaire, PK and 3 Idiots fame who commented, “Hrithik Roshan is nothing short of a perfectionist and he has put his heart and soul into every shot.” 

Located at Bollywood Parks™ Dubai within Bollywood Film Studios featuring Hall of Heroes zone, visitors will experience a panoramic flying attraction based on simulation technology taking riders on a virtual tour over famous Indian landmarks while witnessing an epic battle with superhero Krrish.

This zone will also be home to a Bollywood movie production and a live stage show, based on the blockbuster Bollywood Movie “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara”.
