In a major development that has sent fans into a frenzy, it’s now official—Krrish 4 is in the works, and this time, Hrithik Roshan will be donning the director’s hat for the first time. The upcoming installment of the beloved Indian superhero franchise marks a significant transition, as Hrithik takes over the reins from his father, veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, who directed the previous films.
The Krrish franchise, which began as a spin-off of the 2003 cult sci-fi hit Koi… Mil Gaya, has enjoyed massive success over the years. Now, 25 years after Hrithik’s acting debut in Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, he is stepping into a new role as director—under the mentorship of two legendary filmmakers: Rakesh Roshan and Yash Raj Films’ head honcho, Aditya Chopra.
Rakesh Roshan shared the news with a nostalgic and emotional Instagram post featuring a throwback photo with Hrithik. He wrote, “Duggu 25yrs back I launched you as an actor, and today again after 25 years you are being launched as a director by two filmmakers Aditya Chopra & myself to take forward our most ambitious film #Krrish4.”
Fans and industry insiders alike have shown immense support, with Hrithik’s partner, actor Saba Azad, dropping heart emojis in the comments section.
With shooting scheduled to begin in mid-2025, Krrish 4 is being positioned as a groundbreaking entry in Indian superhero cinema. Backed by a powerful legacy and a fresh creative vision, the film is one of the most anticipated projects in Bollywood’s upcoming slate.
