The long-awaited Krrish 4 has hit another roadblock. The Hrithik Roshan-led superhero film has faced multiple delays over the years. Now, fresh reports say the project is being postponed again due to budget constraints.
Siddharth Anand Steps Away From Krrish 4
A source close to the development revealed to Bollywood Hungama, “Krrish 4 warrants a budget of approximately Rs 700 crore, but no studio is willing to invest such a massive amount and take that big a risk. Hrithik had assigned the task of securing a studio to his friend Siddharth Anand, who was also producing the film.”
Major Indian studios are hesitant to back a film with such a high budget, especially after the decline of superhero films post-Marvel’s peak. The source further added, “The studios were not confident about Krrish 4 at this budget, as it has been over a decade since Krrish 3 hit theatres.”
With financial issues in the way, Siddharth Anand and his production house Marflix have now stepped away from the project.
The same source shared, “Hrithik and Rakesh Roshan held a closed-door meeting and have decided to approach studios across India personally to finalise a suitable deal for the film. Krrish 4 will now be produced under FilmKraft in collaboration with a leading studio, while Marflix shifts its focus to other projects.”
Karan Malhotra No Longer Directing
Karan Malhotra, who was originally brought on board as the director, is also no longer involved. “Since Siddharth Anand has stepped back, Karan Malhotra will also part ways with the project. A fresh team will now come on board to revise the budget before taking the film to production,” the insider revealed.
The makers believe that once War 2 releases and delivers strong box office numbers, it could help improve Krrish 4’s situation.
Krrish 4 Pushed To 2026
The film was expected to go on floors in the second half of 2025. However, due to financial concerns and the need for a new team, it is now likely to be delayed until 2026.
Fans eager to see Hrithik Roshan return as the beloved superhero will have to wait a little longer.
