‘Hrithik Will Take Krrish 4 Forward’

‘The
franchise
can
grow
only
if
it
evolves.’
‘And
for
it
to
evolve,
it
has
to
pass
on
to
a
younger
hand.’

Hrithik
Roshan
is
all
set
to
turn
director
for
the
highly
anticipated

Krrish
4,
the
latest
installment
in
the
superhero
franchise.

He
will
act
in
the
film
as
well.

His
father

Rakesh
Roshan
confirmed
on
social
media
with
a
heartfelt
note:
‘Duggu
25
yrs
back
I
launched
you
as
an
actor,
and
today
again
after
25
years
you
are
being
launched
as
a
director
by
two
filmmakers
Aditya
Chopra
&
myself
to
take
forward
our
most
ambitious
film
#Krrish4.
Wish
you
all
the
success
in
this
new
avatar
with
good
wishes
and
blessings!’

Yash
Raj
Films
has
come
on
board
to
produce

Krrish
4
in
association
with
Rakesh
Roshan.

The
project
is
set
to
commence
filming
early
next
year.

The

Krrish
franchise
was
launched
in
2003
by
Rakesh
Roshan
with

Koi…
Mil
Gaya. We
were
introduced
to
Rohit
Mehra
and
his
alien
friend,
Jaadu.

The
success
continued
with

Krrish
(2006)
and

Krrish
3
(2013).

Rakesh
Roshan
gives

Subhash
K
Jha
some
more
details:
“Fans
of
the
franchise
were
getting
restless.
We
had
to
take
a
call.”

The
announcement
that
Hrithik
is
directing

Krrish
4
has
taken
the
Internet
by
storm.

I
am
glad
to
hear
that.

It
has
been
a
while
since
the
last

Krrish
came.
I
think
10
years.
Fans
of
the
franchise
were
getting
restless.
We
had
to
take
a
call.

Was
the
decision
to
pass
on
the
baton
due
to
your
health?

Not
at
all.
I
am
fine.
It’s
just
that
I
feel
with
time,
the
franchise
can
grow
only
if
it
evolves.

And
for
it
to
evolve,
it
has
to
pass
on
to
a
younger
hand.

Hrithik
has
been
with

Krrish
from
the
beginning.

Before
that,
he
used
to
assist
me
in
my
directorials.
I
feel
he
is
equipped
to
take

Krrish
forward.

Does
this
mean
you
are
retiring
from
direction?

Nothing
like
that.

I
will
direct
if
I
find
something
that
interests
me.

What
would

Krrish
4
be
like?

There
are
no
details
right
now.
As
soon
as
we
have
a
clearer
picture,
I
will
call
you.
