Krrish 4 Casting Advances as Budget Rift Stalls Production to 2027

The film marks Hrithik Roshan’s planned directorial debut in the franchise.

Overview

  • Reports say Priyanka Chopra has been finalized as the female lead, signaling a Bollywood return after 2019’s The Sky Is Pink.
  • Fresh reporting indicates work has been put on the back burner due to a financing dispute between Hrithik Roshan and Yash Raj Films head Aditya Chopra.
  • Sources describe a gap between a roughly ₹500 crore vision and a proposed cap near ₹350 crore for the superhero sequel’s budget.
  • Hrithik is said to be reworking the script and exploring alternate studio partners, with the project now pushed toward a 2027 start and no filming planned this year.
  • Rakesh Roshan previously confirmed in March 2025 that Krrish 4 is moving forward with Hrithik set to direct, while Chopra is also lined up for S S Rajamouli’s Varanasi.
