Krrish 4 Update: Hrithik Roshan to Direct, Rakesh Roshan Confirms 2027 Release
The Roshan family is all set to take Bollywood’s most loved superhero franchise to the next level. After years of anticipation and speculation, veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan has finally confirmed that Krrish 4 will go on floors by mid-2026 and is scheduled for a 2027 release. What makes this installment even more special is that superstar Hrithik Roshan will not only reprise his role as the masked hero but will also step behind the camera to make his directorial debut.
Budgeting Challenges Resolved
Speaking to Bollywood Hungama on his 76th birthday, Rakesh Roshan admitted that while the script was completed fairly quickly, the major hurdle was finalizing the budget. “The script didn’t take a lot of time. The pressure was the budgeting. Now that we have an idea of the definite budget required for this film, we’ll be starting the film,” he shared.
The filmmaker emphasized that Krrish 4 demands extensive pre-production given its scale, VFX, and larger-than-life vision. With the groundwork already underway, the shooting is expected to begin in mid-2026 and continue until the end of the year.
Hrithik’s New Role as Director
In March, Rakesh Roshan surprised fans by announcing that Hrithik Roshan himself would direct Krrish 4. “Duggu, 25 years ago I launched you as an actor, and today after 25 years you are being launched as a director… to take forward our most ambitious film,” he had written in a heartfelt Instagram post.
For Hrithik, the new role comes with both excitement and nervousness. At a fan event earlier this year, he admitted, “You don’t know how nervous I am! I feel like I’m back in kindergarten. I need all the encouragement I possibly can get.”
A Legacy That Defined Generations
The Krrish franchise remains one of the most iconic sagas in Indian cinema. It began in 2003 with Koi… Mil Gaya, introducing audiences to Rohit Mehra and his alien friend Jadoo. Krrish (2006) then brought India its first mainstream superhero, while Krrish 3 (2013) wowed audiences with a mix of emotional storytelling and high-end VFX, grossing over ₹374 crore worldwide.
Now, with Krrish 4, fans are eager to see how the story evolves. While plot details are tightly under wraps, speculation is rife that the new film may explore time travel and could even bring back the much-loved character Jadoo.
What Fans Can Expect
With Hrithik stepping into the director’s chair and Rakesh Roshan guiding the vision, Krrish 4 is shaping up to be the franchise’s most ambitious outing yet. The collaboration with Yash Raj Films also marks a new chapter for the project, promising a blend of scale, technology, and emotional depth.
As Rakesh Roshan confirmed, “We plan to release it in 2027.” Until then, fans of India’s favorite superhero will have to wait, but the excitement is already at an all-time high.
