One of the biggest questions in Bollywood finally has an answer. Veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan has dropped a major update on the highly anticipated superhero film, Krrish 4. In an exclusive conversation on his 76th birthday, Roshan confirmed the timeline for the next installment, stating that they are planning to release the film in 2027.
The update comes during a big year for the Roshan family. 2025 marks 25 years since Hrithik Roshan debuted as an actor. Earlier this year, it was also announced that Hrithik would be taking over directorial duties from his father for Krrish 4. Fans have been waiting for news on the project, and Rakesh Roshan has now laid out the production plan clearly.
The Production Timeline Explained
Rakesh Roshan, known for his detailed planning, explained that the team is working hard to get everything ready before starting the shoot. He revealed that budgeting was a significant challenge that needed to be solved first. “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,” Roshan stated.
Because of the scale of the movie, the pre-production work is much more extensive this time around. This detailed preparation phase means the team won’t rush to begin filming. Roshan confirmed the schedule: “We are going to start the shoot of the film by the middle of next year (2026). This is because the pre-production is much more extensive in this film. Hence, we have to be well-prepared before we go on floors.” He added that the shoot would likely continue until the end of 2026.
A New Era For Krrish
The long gap between films, with Krrish 3 having released in 2013, has only increased anticipation. The upcoming film marks a new era for the franchise in more ways than one. Hrithik Roshan stepping into the director’s chair is a major development that fans are excited about. The first three films in the series, Koi Mil Gaya (2003), Krrish (2006), and Krrish 3, were all successfully directed by Rakesh Roshan.
Adding to the scale of the project, Krrish 4 will be co-produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF). This marks the first collaboration between YRF and Filmkraft, the Roshans’ production house. With Hrithik directing and two major production houses backing the project, expectations are higher than ever for the return of India’s favorite superhero.
