Krrish 4: Flying High Again, with Hrithik Roshan at the Helm!

Hrithik Roshan will direct Krrish 4, the eagerly anticipated follow-up to India's most famous superhero franchise. The film will be co-produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF)'s Aditya Chopra and acclaimed director Rakesh Roshan, which heightens the anticipation and marks a historic collaboration between two of Bollywood's most important production giants. This dramatic shift promises to elevate Krrish 4 to unprecedented heights by combining Hrithik's creative vision with his star power.

The most awaited superhero franchise in Indian film, Krrish, is making a comeback. Krrish 4, which is anticipated to start production in early 2026, is reportedly being produced by Aditya Chopra and Rakesh Roshan, according to sources close to the project. That's not all, though. One of India's biggest and most well-known stars, Hrithik Roshan, will be directing the film for the first time. “Hrithik will don the role of actor and director for Krrish 4 - The biggest superhero franchise of Indian Cinema, that kicked off with Koi Mil Gaya in 2003, followed by Krrish and Krrish 3. The script is locked, and pre-production work is going on in full swing as the aim is to take the film on floors in early 2026,” revealed a media source.

Rakesh Roshan states in a media chat that 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 a very ambitious vision of taking Krrish’s journey forward with the audience for the next decades. I couldn’t be more prouder to see him wear the director’s hat for a film that means the world to us as a family. Krrish has entertained audiences the world over and Hrithik will now reveal the next chapters of this superhero saga and take the vision I created so many years ago to greater heights.

Rakesh Roshan is delighted that Aditya Chopra would be producing Krrish 4. “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.”

He further discloses, “Hrithik and Adi coming together as a producer-director pair with me behind them is a rare and deliciously creative combination. I am sure they will turn Krrish 4 into a theatrical experience that has never been made in India. The dream is to make India proud globally with a larger-than-life experience like Krrish 4.”

Hrithik Roshan, who has captivated audiences as the masked superhero Krrish since 2006, will take on the roles of both director and title character in Krrish 4. Beginning with Koi Mil Gaya in 2003, the Krrish franchise—a pioneer in Indian cinema—grew into a superhero story with Krrish (2006) and Krrish 3 (2013). With Hrithik at the forefront, Krrish 4 is poised to transform the genre by combining the avant-garde graphics and poignant storytelling that are hallmarks of the Roshan family's filmmaking legacy.

After a lengthy pre-production phase that has already started and lasted more than a year, Krrish 4 will go into production in early 2026.
