The Krrish series is a cornerstone of Bollywood's superhero genre, and it’s impossible to discuss this topic without mentioning it. The latest news reveals that the fourth installment of this beloved franchise is on the horizon. Hrithik Roshan will step into the role of director for this upcoming film, which is slated for release in 2027. This exciting announcement was made by Rakesh Roshan during a recent interview.

When will filming commence?

In a conversation with a prominent media outlet, Rakesh Roshan disclosed that filming is expected to begin in mid-2026. He mentioned that while crafting the script was relatively quick, determining the film's budget posed significant challenges. Given that this will be the largest film in the franchise, meticulous attention is being devoted to the pre-production phase.
