Overview
- Rakesh Roshan told Mid-Day on Monday that reports Hrithik demanded a Rs 500 crore budget are “nonsense” and that there is no fallout with Yash Raj Films.
- The makers say the Krrish 4 script is almost finalised and they hope to start principal photography by the end of the year, but the schedule hinges on Hrithik’s availability.
- Multiple outlets recently reported industry chatter that Hrithik preferred roughly Rs 500 crore for top-tier VFX while YRF favoured closer to Rs 350 crore, a difference Rakesh Roshan now says is not true.
- Krrish 4 is set to be Hrithik Roshan’s directorial debut and a joint production between Filmkraft and Yash Raj Films after a long development history that saw earlier directors and producers exit.
- The dispute coverage highlights a wider industry pressure: high-end VFX and large-scale action raise production costs and box-office risk, which helps explain studio caution about budgets and timing.
