Spoilers ahead
Krishna Mehra, Hrithik Roshan, is a remarkable, but sheltered five-year-old with a lineage wrapped in mystery. He is the son of Rohit Mehra, a gifted scientist, and Nisha Mehra, and he grows up under the care of his devoted grandmother, Sonia Mehra, Rekha, in the quiet hill town of Kasauli. A routine IQ test conducted by his school principal hints at something extraordinary when Krishna answers every question with flawless ease, suggesting to some that he may have inherited Rohit’s almost superhuman gifts—gifts that were once tied to the enigmatic power of Jadoo.
