It all started with some magic aka Jadoo in Koi… Mil Gaya in 2003, and then Hrithik Roshan donned the mask of Krrish in 2006, and fans have eagerly awaited each new installment in the Krrish franchise. Now, Rakesh Roshan has revealed some extremely exciting news! The actor is not only going to star in the fourth film, but he is also taking on the role of director for the first time! Yes, it is official Krrish 4, which is jointly produced by Rakesh Roshan and Aditya Chopra’s YRF, is coming!

Talking to Subhash K Jha, Rakesh Roshan revealed more about the passing of the baton on this film and what we can expect from the new director and super-hero in Krrish 4!

Congratulations, the announcement that Hrithik is directing the fourth chapter of Krrish has taken the internet by storm?
Has it? I am glad to hear that. It has been a while since the last Krrish film came, I think ten years. The 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 has assisted 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 would return to direction if I find something that interests me. Nothing is final. Except that I won’t be directing Krrish 4, my son will.

What would Krrish 4 be like?
There are no details right now. As soon as we have a clearer picture, I will call you.
