Why Was Krrish 4 Delayed?
Several factors contributed to the delay of Krrish 4:
- High Budget Concerns – The estimated ₹700 crore budget made studios hesitant to invest, leading to multiple discussions about financing.
- Director Change – Rakesh Roshan, who directed the previous movies, decided to step back from directing, prompting the search for a new filmmaker.
- Studio Backing Issues – Marflix and Siddharth Anand were initially associated but later exited due to budget constraints.
- Script Refinements – Hrithik Roshan and his father have been fine-tuning the script to ensure a strong story arc.
- Hrithik’s Busy Schedule – The actor is currently engaged with War 2, delaying Krrish 4 further.
What to Expect in Krrish 4
1. Bigger and Better VFX
With a massive budget, Krrish 4 aims to compete with Hollywood superhero movies. Reports suggest that the movie will feature cutting-edge CGI and visual effects, raising the bar for Indian cinema.
2. New Villains and Characters
While the previous films had compelling villains like Kaal (played by Vivek Oberoi in Krrish 3), Krrish 4 is rumored to introduce a powerful antagonist with a deep connection to Krrish’s past.
3. The Return of Jadoo?
Fans have speculated whether Jadoo, the beloved alien from Koi… Mil Gaya, will return in Krrish 4. While Rakesh Roshan has neither confirmed nor denied these rumors, the possibility remains open.
4. International Locations and Action Sequences
Given the ambitious budget, expect high-octane action scenes shot in exotic international locations. Hrithik Roshan is known for his physically demanding roles, and Krrish 4 is set to push his limits further.
5. Possible Introduction of a Multiverse
There are rumors that Krrish 4 could introduce a multiverse concept, allowing different versions of Krrish or past characters to return. This could be inspired by the success of similar Hollywood franchises.
6. Expansion of the Krrish Universe
With Bollywood shifting towards franchises (YRF Spy Universe, Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe), Krrish 4 could pave the way for spin-offs or future sequels.

- Pre-production work is already underway, focusing on script finalization, casting, and CGI planning.
- The expected release date is 2027 or early 2028.
