The wait is finally over! After years of anticipation, the much-loved Indian superhero franchise, ‘Krrish,’ is set to make a grand return. In an exciting twist, Hrithik Roshan will not only play the iconic superhero but also take charge as the director for ‘Krrish 4’. Backed by top filmmaker Aditya Chopra, this film promises to be the biggest and most ambitious chapter in the series yet.
A new beginning for ‘Krrish’
The ‘Krrish’ journey began in 2003 with ‘Koi… Mil Gaya,’ followed by ‘Krrish’ (2006) and ‘Krrish 3’ (2013). Directed by Rakesh Roshan, these films introduced India to its own superhero and became a huge success both in India and overseas. As reported by Pinkvilla, now, the baton is being passed to Hrithik Roshan, who has been an essential part of the franchise since the start.
Rakesh Roshan expressed his pride in his son’s new role, saying, “I am passing the baton of the director of ‘Krrish 4’ to my son, Hrithik Roshan, who has lived, breathed, and dreamt about this franchise since its inception with me. Hrithik has a clear and very ambitious vision of taking Krrish’s journey forward with the audience for the next decades.”
Aditya Chopra joins in as producer
Another major highlight is Aditya Chopra joining as the producer. Rakesh shared his excitement, saying, “It brings me so much joy to see someone like Adi as the producer of ‘Krrish 4.’ It was he who convinced Hrithik to sit in the director’s chair. Adi and Yash Raj Films have the knowledge, understanding, and technological might to produce this film and add great value to this project.”
Production and shooting schedule
Hrithik Roshan is currently busy with ‘War 2,’ which is set to wrap up by April 2025. After that, he will dive straight into ‘Krrish 4.’ The film is expected to start shooting in mid-2025 and will feature a mix of Indian and international locations to enhance its grand scale.
