Krrish 4: What We Know So Far
Fresh updates surrounding Hrithik Roshan’s much-awaited superhero film ‘Krrish 4’ have sparked major buzz in the film industry. As of January 6, 2026, producer Rakesh Roshan has clarified reports related to the film’s budget, production delays, and creative direction.
₹700 Crore Budget Buzz and Production Delay Explained
Early industry reports suggested that Krrish 4 could carry a staggering ₹700 crore budget, leading to speculation that several major studios were hesitant to invest. However, the production team later dismissed these figures as unfounded.
Rakesh Roshan has emphasized that the makers are focused on maintaining a realistic budget while delivering a global-scale cinematic experience, rather than chasing inflated numbers. The delay in the official announcement stems primarily from the film’s complex script development and extensive pre-production work.
Shooting Timeline and Expected Release Window
According to the latest reports:
Filming is expected to begin in mid-2026, around May–June, once Hrithik Roshan wraps up his commitments for War 2.
The makers are targeting a 2027 theatrical release, with Diwali 2027 emerging as the preferred release window.
Major Creative Changes and Key Developments
Directorial Shift: Hrithik Roshan is reportedly set to make his directorial debut with Krrish 4, while Rakesh Roshan will remain closely involved as producer and mentor.
Potential Studio Partnership: Industry buzz suggests that Yash Raj Films (YRF) may collaborate with Filmkraft to strengthen the film’s scale, global distribution, and marketing reach.
Villain Casting: The makers are said to have finalized a powerful antagonist, possibly a major Bollywood star, though the official reveal is being kept under wraps.
Current Status
Contrary to speculation, Krrish 4 has not been shelved or postponed indefinitely. Instead, the project is progressing steadily, with extended pre-production aimed at delivering a superhero film capable of standing alongside international franchises like Marvel and DC.
