Hrithik Roshan has kickstarted the preparation for Krrish 4 and will also take the role of director this time. Fans have been waiting to see the film’s fourth part for years and there is finally some buzz around it. As per reports, many actors from the previous instalments will return in Krrish 4 and Hrithik is expected to see in triple roles.

According to Instant Bollywood, a source revealed, “The plan is for Krrish to move through different timelines, past and future, to eliminate a major threat. While high on VFX and production, the film will stay rooted in family emotions and relationships.” It has also been rumoured that Rekha and Preity Zinta will be the part of Krrish 4 as well.

Priyanka Chopra will also reportedly join Krrish 4 and will reprise the role of Priya. The rumours of Priyanka being a part of the superhero film were already making rounds after Hrithik, in an event, talked about his meeting with the actress and Nick Jonas.

A source told Pinkvilla, “Hrithik, and Priyanka are a successful pair and have an excellent work relationship. It was more of a no-brainer for PC to come on board Krrish 4, as the story continues the journey of characters from Koi Mil Gaya to Krrish, Krrish 3, and now the fourth instalment. The actress was bowled over by the vision of Hrithik Roshan to take the franchise forward, and was ecstatic to see him take over the challenges of directing the film.”

The source further added, “There are some projects which are designed keeping VFX in mind, but Krrish 4 is a film where the inception of VFX stems from the story, which is magical. Pun intended.”

Earlier, Rakesh Roshan, who is the director of the Krrish franchise, talked about passing the torch to Hrithik as he becomes director. While speaking to Pinkvilla, Rakesh Roshan shared, “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.”

He added, “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.”

Krrish 4 will be produced by Aditya Chopra under his banner YRF. According to Pinkvilla, the movie will go on floors in early 2026.
