Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan recently shared an update on his much-anticipated film, Krrish 4 while speaking with a publication.
Everyone has been eagerly waiting for Bollywood’s favourite superhero Krrish to return on the big screen ever since Hrithik Roshan officially announced Krrish 4 in 2021. Since then, various reports have been floating in the media about the film’s plot and when it goes on floors.
Recently, in a chat with Mid-day, Rakesh Roshan, who helmed the last three films of the Krrish franchise, shared an update on this Hrithik Roshan starrer. He said that the film might take longer than expected as the team is still working on the script.
The publication quoted him as saying, “Krrish 4 will not begin before the end of next year. We are working on the script, and pre-production will begin only after that.”
Explaining the reason behind the delay, the Karan Arjun director shared, “I like to take my time while making a film, and am not in a hurry to complete Krrish 4. Even the earlier instalments were spaced [many] years apart. Such a concept has barely been attempted before in international movies, let alone in India. I have not attempted this kind of a story before where I have no reference point, and hence, it is taking time. There is an emotional core [the father-son track] too.”
Meanwhile, there are speculations on the internet that Krrish 4 revolves around the concept of time travel. Apparently, Hrithik’s superhero Krrish will be travelling back in time to bring back his scientist-father Rohit Mehra, who was presumed dead, with the help of his alien buddy, Jadoo.
Roshan Sr laughed off these rumours and said, “I do everything, from scripting to editing and action, in my head. That is why I have no hair. Every scene and page is in my head. My writers and I sit down once a month to discuss it. After it is written down, it is given to the team and actors.”
Currently, Hrithik Roshan is busy filming for Siddharth Anand’s aerial thriller, Fighter which also stars Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor and Akshay Oberoi.
