Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan has finally hinted at significant progress on the long-awaited Krrish 4, raising excitement among fans of India’s most beloved home-grown superhero franchise. After years of anticipation since Krrish 3 was released in 2013, the fourth installment is now officially in motion, with major developments fueling buzz across the industry.

In a recent viral video, Hrithik can be seen discussing his upcoming movie during an Instagram live session with fans. When a user asked him about Jaddu, he replied, "It's a secret; you will know soon, fingers crossed." He also mentioned, "Jaddu's birthday is coming up as well."

The Krrish franchise — which began with Koi… Mil Gaya (2003), followed by Krrish (2006) and Krrish 3 (2013) — revolutionised Bollywood’s superhero genre and built a massive fan following. The saga of Krishna Mehra, aka Krrish, has been one of the most successful film series in Indian cinema.

Hrithik Roshan has dropped tantalising hints about something “massive” being in preparation for Krrish 4, describing it as one of the year’s biggest announcements. This remark has reignited excitement among fans who have waited over a decade for the next chapter.

The project has now been confirmed to be in active development, with pre-production underway and the script locked. The film is slated to begin shooting in early to mid-2026 and is being produced by Yash Raj Films in collaboration with Hrithik’s longtime collaborator and father, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan. Crucially, this instalment will mark Hrithik’s debut as a director, taking over the helm from his father, who directed the first three films of the franchise.

According to recent updates, Krrish 4 is targeting a theatrical release in 2027, a timeline that has been eagerly anticipated by fans and industry watchers alike. With extensive pre-production and cutting-edge VFX planning underway, expectations are high that the new film will raise the bar for Indian superhero cinema.
