The iconic superhero series, a spin-off of the 2003 hit Koi… Mil Gaya, has captivated audiences for over a decade, and this latest announcement has fans buzzing with excitement.
Hrithik Roshan to Helm Krrish 4
Hrithik Roshan, who has headlined the Krrish series since its inception, is now stepping behind the camera for Krrish 4. The film will be co-produced by veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan and renowned producer Aditya Chopra. On March 27, Rakesh Roshan took to Instagram to share the heartwarming news with a nostalgic post:
“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 & myself – to take forward our most ambitious film #Krrish4. Wish you all the success in this new avatar with good wishes and blessings!”
The post garnered widespread attention, with Hrithik’s girlfriend, actor Saba Azad, commenting with heart emojis. Fans have flooded social media with their excitement, eagerly awaiting this new chapter. One fan commented, “HR turns director for Krrish 4. Woah, Krazzyyy news!” Another wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “The excitement is real. Can’t wait to see #HrithikRoshan in the director’s seat for #Krrish4. This is going to be epic!”
Fan Reactions and Expectations
The enthusiasm surrounding Krrish 4 is palpable. Many fans have expressed their belief that this film will be a record-breaker, with some even predicting it could surpass Pushpa 2: The Rule in box office collections. “Be scared…. #Pushpa2TheRule record is set to break,” one fan tweeted confidently.
While Hrithik has always been the face of the Krrish franchise, it remains to be seen whether he will continue to play the titular superhero or pass the baton to a new lead. Official announcements regarding the cast and crew are still awaited.
The Legacy of the Krrish Franchise
The Krrish series began in 2006 as a continuation of the beloved Koi… Mil Gaya (2003), where Hrithik Roshan portrayed the endearing Rohit Mehra. In Krrish, the focus shifted to Rohit and Nisha’s (Preity Zinta) son, Krishna Mehra, who discovers his extraordinary powers and adopts the superhero persona Krrish to fight evil forces. The subsequent installment, Krrish 3 (2013), continued to build on this legacy, solidifying the franchise’s status as one of India’s most successful.
Looking Ahead
With Hrithik Roshan stepping into the director’s seat for the first time, Krrish 4 promises to bring fresh perspectives and innovative storytelling to the beloved series. As fans eagerly await more details, one thing is certain – the return of Krrish is set to be nothing short of spectacular.
