The highly anticipated fourth installment of the Krrish franchise is officially in production, bringing with it an exciting twist—Hrithik Roshan is set to make his directorial debut.

Previously helmed by Rakesh Roshan, the Krrish series originated from the 2003 sci-fi blockbuster Koi... Mil Gaya. While Rakesh Roshan directed the previous films, Krrish 4 will mark Hrithik’s first time behind the camera. His father, along with Aditya Chopra, will take on the role of producers for this ambitious project.

Announcing the milestone on Instagram, Rakesh Roshan shared an emotional message alongside a picture of Hrithik. He shared, “Duggu, 25 years ago, I introduced you to the world as an actor."

 Today, after 25 years, you are being launched as a director by two filmmakers, Aditya Chopra and myself, to take forward our most ambitious film, Krrish 4. Wishing you immense success in this new avatar, with all my blessings and good wishes!”

Hrithik’s girlfriend, actress Saba Azad, also joined in celebrating the moment, posting heart emojis in the comments.

Fans, who have eagerly awaited a sequel since Krrish 3 was released in 2013, couldn’t contain their excitement. One enthusiastic supporter posted, “HR turning director for Krrish 4—crazy news!” Another wrote, “The excitement is real! Can’t wait to see Hrithik in the director’s chair for Krrish 4. This is going to be legendary!”

Some fans even speculated that the film might break box office records.” Get ready... Pushpa 2: The Rule is here to dominate the box office!" one user predicted, while many others were confident that Krrish 4 would be a massive hit.

A major question lingering in everyone’s mind is whether Hrithik will reprise his iconic superhero role or if the film will introduce a new protagonist. While Hrithik has been the face of the franchise, no details regarding the cast and crew have been disclosed yet, leaving fans eagerly waiting for more updates.

The Journey of the Krrish Franchise

The Krrish series began in 2006 as a continuation of Koi... Mil Gaya. The first film followed Krishna (Hrithik Roshan), the son of Rohit Mehra (Hrithik Roshan) and Nisha (Preity Zinta), who lived a quiet life with his grandmother Sonia (Rekha). However, when he set out to win the heart of Priya (Priyanka Chopra), he embraced his destiny as Krrish, a masked crusader fighting against evil.

Over the years, Krrish has become one of India’s most beloved superhero franchises. With Krrish 4 now in the works and Hrithik Roshan stepping into the director’s chair, fans have plenty to look forward to. The next chapter in the saga promises to be bigger and more thrilling than ever before.
