Krrish 4: Rakesh Roshan spills the beans on much-awaited sequel

Hrithik Roshan's fans have been eagerly waiting for him to don the superhero cape again in the highly-anticipated fourth installment of the Krrish franchise, aptly titled "Krrish 4". While the actor gears up for the release of his upcoming film "Fighter", news about Krrish 4 being in the works has been making rounds in the media.

Rakesh Roshan, the ace director and producer of the Hrithik-starrer superhero flick, recently shared some intriguing insights about the film. In an interview with India Today, he expressed that Krrish 4 holds significant importance for him. However, he couldn't help but be concerned about the declining footfalls in theaters and multiplexes, as the audience seems hesitant to return to the big screens.

Rakesh Roshan acknowledged the changing landscape of the film industry, where Hollywood superhero movies with massive budgets have become a norm. In comparison, Krrish 4 will have a relatively modest budget, ranging from Rs 200 to 300 crore. This limitation poses a creative challenge for the director, as he aims to deliver top-notch visual effects and captivating action sequences that can match the quality of Hollywood productions.

Despite the challenges, Rakesh Roshan assured fans that Krrish 4 is undoubtedly in the pipeline. The director mentioned that it might take at least a year or more before they proceed with the production.

For those unfamiliar with the franchise, Krrish 3, the third film in the series, hit the theaters in 2013 and witnessed great success. Alongside Hrithik Roshan, the movie featured stars like Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut, Vivek Oberoi, and Naseeruddin Shah.
