Hrithik Roshan is set to assume the role of director for the film Krrish 4, representing a significant milestone in Indian cinema. The actor will collaborate with Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films (YRF) for this highly anticipated fourth chapter of India's renowned superhero series. Together, they aspire to produce a blockbuster that not only meets international production standards but also honors the rich traditions of Indian storytelling.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas returns to the franchise

 According to a source from Pinkvilla, Krrish 4 marks Priyanka Chopra Jonas' much-anticipated comeback to the franchise, while it will also be Hrithik Roshan's directorial debut. This film represents the fourth installment in the Krrish series, with the renowned actress reprising her role as Priya.

Hrithik and Priyanka share an exceptional working dynamic, establishing them as a formidable pair. Given that the storyline of Krrish 4 extends the characters' evolution from Koi Mil Gaya through Krrish and Krrish 3 to this latest chapter, Priyanka's involvement was a natural decision. A source revealed to the entertainment website that the actress was "impressed" by Hrithik's vision for the franchise and felt "thrilled" to witness him take on the role of director for the film.

YRF team gears up for VFX-heavy spectacle

 One of the most technically demanding Indian films to date is presently in preproduction at YRF, where a dedicated team from YFX is diligently engaged in previsualization (pre-viz). Hrithik and Aditya Chopra, alongside their writing teams, are carefully refining the script.

According to sources, while some projects are designed with visual effects as a primary focus, Krrish 4 stands out as a unique film where the incorporation of visual effects emerges organically from the captivating narrative—pun intended.

Return of Jadoo

Krrish 4 will be infused with an additional layer of nostalgia and excitement through the reappearance of the cherished alien Jadoo, who was last seen in theaters 23 years ago in Koi Mil Gaya (2003).

Filming for Krrish 4 is set to commence in the first quarter of 2026, with the casting process already in progress. After a hiatus of 14 years, Hrithik Roshan will don the iconic black cape once more. This film, speculated to be among the most expensive Indian productions to date, is expected to deliver a captivating superhero experience.
