CHING SIU-TUNG GOES BOLLYWOOD

Is this a good thing? A bad thing? A somewhere-in-between thing? Dunno, but KRRISH, Bollywood's super-mega-enormous-giant Summer 2006 superhero film, features action choreography by Ching Siu-tung himself. And better than that? You can see it in this teaser trailer for the film!

Ostenisbly the sequel to 2003's ET flick KOI...MIL GAYA starring the double-thumbed Bollywood superstar, Hrithik Roshan, KRRISH picks up after the leads from K...MG have gotten married and had a baby who grows up to be a young man with superpowers. Principal photography is over, the huge chunk of special effects are being worked on while we speak, and judging from the teaser I'm actually sort of looking forward to this one. Hrithik trained in China for 25 days to do the action choreography in this film (he's a bigtime dancer) and the unstoppable star who is known for killing himself on his movies injured himself several times during the shoot, at one point heading back onto the set, jacked up on painkillers, after tearing his hamstring and being ordered into two weeks of bedrest. While shooting in Singapore a cable snapped when Hrithik was 50 feet up in the air on a city street and he could have died if he hadn't hit a shop awning that slowed his fall enough for the shaken star to walk away. Publicity item? Totally untrue? I don't care! There's finally a Bollywood movie coming out that I'm excited by and it's only 5 months away.
