Fans are eager to see the newest superhero film after it was revealed that Hrithik Roshan will succeed his father, Rakesh Roshan, as director of Krrish 4. According to recent reports, Priyanka Chopra has teamed up with Hrithik as the lead, and YRF is also involved in producing the film. Chopra's return to the franchise means she will reprise her role as Priya.
Despite her international fame, Priyanka Chopra has remained a desi girl to her original fan base in India. If rumors are to be believed, the actor's quiet return to the Indian film industry hasn't exactly gone unnoticed. However, it appears that this will be a significant return.
Priyanka has been confirmed as the lead in Krrish 4 by both Aditya and Hrithik, according to sources close to the development who spoke to Pinkvilla. The source disclosed, "Priyanka and Hrithik have a great working chemistry and are a winning combination. Since the tale continues the journey from Koi Mil Gaya to Krrish, Krrish 3, and now the fourth episode, it seemed obvious to get her on board for Krrish 4. The actor was thrilled to watch Hrithik take on the challenges of filmmaking and was really pleased by his ambition for advancing the franchise."

In late March, it was also revealed that Hrithik would be directing Krrish 4 instead of Rakesh Roshan, which increased the project's scope and expectations. In addition to bringing back the renowned character of Jadoo after a 23-year hiatus, the movie is scheduled to begin production in the first quarter of 2026. In addition, the audience will have a lot to look forward to as Hrithik returns to his stylish Krrish persona after a 14-year hiatus.
Krrish 4's pre-production is reportedly underway at YRF, with the team working hard on the superhero epic's pre-visualization. In the meantime, Aditya Chopra is polishing the script as Hrithik works closely with his writing team.
Casting is now underway for Krrish 4, which is scheduled to start production in the first quarter of 2026. As previously reported by Pinkvilla, Jadoo will make a comeback in this fourth installment following a 23-year break, and the entire cast is optimistic about providing a cinematic experience that has never been witnessed in Indian film.
