Mumbai, March 28 (NationPress) The talented actor Hrithik Roshan is preparing to step into the role of director for the much-anticipated film ‘Krrish 4’. He will take over directorial duties from his father, Rakesh Roshan, who has directed the previous three installments of this iconic superhero series. The confirmation of this fourth chapter in India’s most prominent superhero franchise comes directly from Rakesh Roshan.

The production is a collaboration between Yash Raj Films and Rakesh Roshan. Hrithik Roshan will be juggling responsibilities between directing and acting, as he reprises his role as the titular superhero. Filming is slated to commence early next year.

Rakesh Roshan expressed his confidence in his son, stating, “I’m handing over the directorial reins of Krrish 4 to Hrithik, who has been deeply passionate about this franchise since its very beginning with me! He possesses a clear and ambitious vision for advancing Krrish’s story for the coming decades.”

He added, “I couldn’t be prouder to witness him don the director’s hat for a film that holds immense significance for our family. Krrish has captivated audiences globally, and now Hrithik will unveil the next chapters of this superhero narrative, elevating the vision I created many years ago.”

Directing is not an unfamiliar territory for Hrithik, as he previously served as an assistant director on films like ‘Karan Arjun’, directed by his father. In fact, it was Hrithik who pioneered the trend of actors gaining hands-on experience on set, acquiring practical filmmaking knowledge before stepping into acting.

Rakesh Roshan is excited about Aditya Chopra taking on the producer role for ‘Krrish 4’. He remarked, “It fills me with joy to see someone like Adi produce Krrish 4. He was instrumental in encouraging Hrithik to take on the director’s role. Adi and Yash Raj Films possess the expertise and technological prowess to enrich this project significantly.”

“The collaboration of Hrithik and Adi as a director-producer duo, with my support, is an exceptionally creative combination! I have no doubt they will transform Krrish 4 into a cinematic experience unlike anything previously seen in India. Our ambition is to make India proud on a global scale with an extraordinary experience like ‘Krrish 4’,” he concluded.
