Bollywood has produced its first science-fiction epic. Paging Bruce Sterling, your meme is ready.
'KOI MIL GAYA' or 'Found Someone,' set for release next week, features one of India's most popular stars, Hrithik Roshan, who plays the role of an adult whose mental abilities have not grown beyond those of an 11-year-old.
He accidentally establishes contact with aliens while playing around with a computer left behind by his dead father, a scientist obsessed with extraterrestrial life.
'We thought we should try something different and stop making formula films which are very safe,' Rakesh Roshan, Hrithik's father, who has produced and directed 'Koi Mil Gaya,' told a news conference.
The filmmaker, who has several hits to his credit, said he was willing to risk showing his son prancing around as an 11-year-old rather than the cliched muscle-flexing romantic hero that has won Hrithik scores of hysterical female fans.
