Hrithik Roshan is set to make his directorial debut with the fourth instalment of the popular superhero franchise Krrish. The series, which originated from the 2003 film Koi Mil Gaya, was previously directed by his father, Rakesh Roshan.
Krrish 4 will be produced by Rakesh Roshan and Aditya Chopra.
Sharing the announcement on Instagram, Rakesh Roshan posted a photo with his son, stating, “Duggu, 25 years 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 and myself, to take forward our most ambitious film #Krrish4. Wish you all the success in this new avatar with good wishes and blessings!”
Hrithik’s girlfriend, actor Saba Azad, responded to the post with heart emojis.
Fans expressed their excitement across social media platforms, with one commenting, “HR turns director for Krish4. Woah, Krazzyyy news.”
Another user on X said, “The excitement is real. Can’t wait to see #HrithikRoshan in the director’s seat for #Krrish4. This is going to be epic.”
Predictions about the film’s success also surfaced, with a fan remarking, “Be scared… #Pushpa2TheRule record is set to break.” Many others voiced their confidence that the movie will be a ‘super hit’.
While Hrithik Roshan has consistently portrayed the titular superhero, it remains uncertain whether he will reprise the role or introduce a new actor. The official cast and crew have yet to be announced.
The franchise began with Krrish in 2006, featuring Hrithik Roshan as Krishna Mehra, the son of Rohit Mehra (also played by Hrithik) and Nisha (Preity Zinta).
Krishna, living a sheltered life with his grandmother Sonia (Rekha), discovers his abilities and assumes the identity of the superhero Krrish to battle evil. The series continued with Krrish 3 in 2013, gaining huge commercial success.
Further updates on Krrish 4 are awaited as anticipation grows for the latest addition to one of India’s most successful film franchises.
