Hrithik Roshan is officially stepping into the director’s chair for Krrish 4, taking over the reins from his father and franchise creator, Rakesh Roshan. The highly anticipated superhero film will be made in collaboration with Aditya Chopra’s Yash Raj Films (YRF), aiming to set a new benchmark by marrying global cinematic standards with the emotional depth and essence of Indian storytelling.
In a major casting update, Pinkvilla has learned that Priyanka Chopra Jonas will reprise her role as Priya in the upcoming installment. According to sources close to the development, both Hrithik and Aditya were keen on bringing her back, given her successful on-screen pairing with Hrithik and their longstanding professional rapport. The story continues from where Koi Mil Gaya, Krrish, and Krrish 3 left off, making Priyanka’s return a natural and significant part of the narrative. The actress was reportedly impressed by Hrithik’s vision for the film and thrilled to see him take on the dual responsibility of acting and directing.
Pre-production is currently in full swing at YRF Studios. The studio’s VFX division, YFX, is already working on pre-visualization for this ambitious superhero epic. A source revealed that what makes Krrish 4 unique is its story-first approach to VFX, stating, “There are some projects which are designed keeping VFX in mind, but Krrish 4 is a film where the inception of VFX stems from the story, which is magical. Pun intended.”
The film is set to go on floors in the first quarter of 2026, with casting still underway. One of the most exciting aspects for fans is the confirmed return of Jadoo, the beloved alien from Koi Mil Gaya, making his comeback to the big screen after 23 years.
Krrish 4 promises to be a grand cinematic event and one of the costliest films ever made in Indian cinema. It will mark the return of Hrithik Roshan’s iconic superhero character after a 14-year hiatus and aims to deliver an unforgettable experience to audiences across the globe.
