After two successful films, Krrish (2006) and Krrish 3 (2013), fans have been eagerly waiting for the comeback of Hrithik Roshan as Krrish in the fourth installment.

Hrithik Roshan starrer Koi Mil Gaya is set to release in theatres on 4th August, marking its 20th anniversary. When Koi Mil Gaya was initially released back in 2003, it delighted audiences and paved the way for the Krrish Franchise. Bollywood’s beloved superhero, Krrish, portrayed by Hrithik Roshan, has truly captured a special place in our hearts. However, Krrish 4 starring Hrithik Roshan has been in development for quite some time. But, there hasn’t been any official announcement introducing the film yet. In a recent interview, director Rakesh Roshan candidly expressed his hesitation about making the film.

The reason behind Hrithik Roshan starrer Krrish 4 is delayed

In an interview with IndiaToday.in, director Rakesh Roshan shared why he is having a second thought in making the film. Revealing the reason he said, “What is happening is that the audience is still not coming back to the theatres, so that is a big question mark for me. Krrish is going to be a big film. The world has become smaller and kids today are used to seeing Hollywood superhero films that are made on budgets of like 500-600 million dollars. Meanwhile, we have a small budget of Rs 200-300 crore in comparison.”

The director discussed achieving a specific film look by balancing action sequences and VFX quality. He proposed reducing the number of action sequences from 10 to 4 while maintaining high standards. Rakesh also highlighted the importance of managing the budget and production costs efficiently. He is also considering the underperformance of recent big-budget films. And also the need for more thoughtful approaches to filmmaking for success in the industry.

Rakesh Roshan assures Krrish 4 will be for sure happening

One thing is for sure that Krrish 4 is happening and we are not saying it, the director himself disclosed. Rakesh said, “We are absolutely ready to take the step forward. However, looking at the situation today where films are not doing well and collections are not matching the production costs, we are not immediately looking at it. It is going to happen, but not for a year. Probably after that.”

Following the success of the first two movies, Krrish (2006) and Krrish 3 (2013) fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of the fourth installment. We cannot wait till Hrithik Roshan reprises his role as the superhero and drops a photo in his superhero fit.

On the work front, Hrithik Roshan has director Siddharth Anand’s movie Fighter in the pipeline. He will be sharing screen space with Deepika Padukone in this film, marking their first collaboration. Fighter will be releasing on 25th January 2024.
