Krrish 4: The Superhero Saga Continues, But With a Twist
The highly anticipated Krrish 4 faces a significant shift in its production. While the previous films in the franchise have been box-office successes, this installment is navigating uncharted territory. Veteran director Rakesh Roshan, the mastermind behind the beloved superhero series starring Hrithik Roshan, has decided to "pass the baton," relinquishing his directorial duties for the fourth installment.
A Change in Leadership
Rakesh Roshan's decision, announced in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, isn't born from disappointment but rather a proactive move. He believes it's crucial to oversee the project while he's still actively involved, ensuring the film's integrity. This announcement follows the earlier news of Siddharth Anand's departure from his role as producer, adding another layer of complexity to the production.
Budgetary Concerns and Delays
Rumors of a massive ₹700 crore budget have circulated, causing some to speculate that this contributed to Anand's exit. However, reports from India Today contradict this, suggesting that scheduling conflicts with Shah Rukh Khan's "King" were the primary reason for Anand's departure. Regardless, the film's future director and a finalized budget remain unclear, leading to further delays. The original plan to start filming in summer 2025 has been postponed indefinitely.
The Future of Krrish 4
Despite these hurdles, the Roshan family remains committed to Krrish 4. FilmKraft Productions, owned by the Roshans, is actively seeking a new studio partner to secure funding and complete the project. A new director will helm the film, but their identity is yet to be revealed. While the wait continues, fans eagerly anticipate updates on this beloved Bollywood franchise.
