The summer of sequels in Bollywood

This June, gear up for the sequels of two Bollywood blockbusters – Koi Mil Gaya and Hera-Pheri .

With the first quarter of the year giving the super hit Rang De Basanti and money grossers like Malamaal Weekly and Taxi Number 9211 among others, these two sequels are being awaited with much curiosity.

Krrish stars Hrithik Roshan who plays the son of his character in 'Koi Mil Gaya' opposite Priyanka Chopra .

According to Hrithik himself, ‘Krrish’ is all about being fearless and daring and the film required many stunts that were equally risky and tough.

‘Krrish’ is one of the biggest movies to be released this year and reportedly Hrithik is slated to play six characters.

Media reports say that Hrithik will play an old man, a young man, a villager and even a trendy urban professional but Hrithik is very tight-lipped on this issue.

‘Krrish’ also stars Rekha and Preity Zinta makes a special appearance.

And Bipasha Basu makes a crackling entry into the already uproarious world of Paresh Rawal (Baburao), Akshay Kumar (Raju) and Sunil Shetty (Shyam)-the trio in 2000's runaway hit 'Hera Pheri'. The sequel Phir Hera Pheri is scheduled to be released in June 2006, according to trade sources.

Produced by Firoze A. Nadiadwala and directed by Neeraj Vora, 'Phir Hera Pheri' stars Akshay, Shetty, Paresh, Bipasha, Rajpal Yadav , Johnny Lever and Rimi Sen .

The roller coaster ride of the sequel takes off from where 'Hera Pheri' ended, retaining the original theme of the movie and also the chemistry between the characters.

'Phir Hera Pheri' is a rib-tickler, which promises to outdo the success of the original. The sequel picks up from where 'Hera Pheri' ended, which saw the trio-- Baburao, Raju and Shyam- rise from rags to riches.

With Johnny and Rajpal added to the comic presence, 'Phir Hera Pheri' is sure to make the movie as one of the most hilarious flicks of the year. The glamorous Bipasha also adds a dash of her comic talent to the movie.

In 'Phir Hera Pheri', the Hera Pheri trio, Baburao, Raju and Shyam look for best ways to invest the fortune they acquired in 'Hera Pheri'. Raju who doesn’t lose any opportunity to strike gold comes up with an investment plan that would double up the money. The only hitch, though, is that the minimum investment required is more than the amount they saved up together. To come up with the money, Raju skillfully ropes in a couple of investors and adds an interesting twist to the whole experience without a hint that it will get back at him.

Rajpal plays one of the investors who borrows money from a Don which causes the funny punch in the whole comic adventure.
