After years of anticipation and speculation, the wait for “Krrish 4” might finally be nearing its end. The iconic superhero franchise, headlined by Hrithik Roshan, is all set to make a grand return, with several major updates now confirmed by the filmmakers.
The buzz reignited recently when Hrithik was spotted wearing a pendant shaped like the signature Krrish mask at a Diwali party, sending fans into a frenzy. The symbolic gesture sparked fresh excitement that the fourth installment of India’s biggest superhero saga was finally moving forward.
Adding to the thrill, Rakesh Roshan confirmed that his son Hrithik Roshan will not only reprise his role as Krishna Mehra, the beloved superhero Krrish, but will also make his directorial debut with Krrish 4. The veteran filmmaker, who helmed the earlier films in the series, revealed that Hrithik’s creative vision will take the franchise into an evolved, futuristic direction, merging emotional depth with cutting-edge storytelling.
Production delays had long been blamed on budgetary issues and large-scale VFX requirements, but those hurdles now appear to have been cleared. According to recent reports, the film’s pre-production is in progress, and shooting is expected to begin by mid-2026, with a tentative release planned for 2027.
Fans were also thrilled to learn that Priyanka Chopra Jonas is expected to return as Priya, Krrish’s love interest and partner from previous installments. Her comeback adds a nostalgic charm to the project, especially for audiences who grew up with the Krrish series.
The Krrish franchise, which began with Koi… Mil Gaya (2003) and continued through Krrish (2006) and Krrish 3 (2013), has been one of Bollywood’s most successful and beloved sci-fi sagas. Over the years, it has evolved from an emotional story about a boy and an alien into a full-blown superhero universe, popularly referred to as MHCU (Madness Hero Cinematic Universe) by fans online.
With Krrish 4, the makers aim to blend advanced technology with emotional storytelling, introducing new villains, powerful visual effects, and a larger-than-life narrative that keeps up with global superhero cinema while staying rooted in Indian ethos.
As excitement builds, fans across social media are celebrating Hrithik’s symbolic pendant moment as the official hint that the caped hero will soon return to the big screen stronger, smarter, and more cinematic than ever.
