Rakesh Roshan recently confirmed that he is handing over the directorial reins of Krrish 4 to his son, Hrithik Roshan, marking the actor’s debut as a director. Having helmed the first three successful films in the Krrish franchise, Rakesh Roshan is now passing the baton to Hrithik, who expressed both excitement and nervousness about stepping behind the camera.

Speaking at an event in Atlanta hosted by Sophie Choudry, Hrithik was shown an old photo of himself behind the camera from the set of Koyla. He revealed that he had directed the making of that film, and now, years later, is returning behind the lens for Krrish 4. When asked to confirm the news, he smiled and said, “They already know it,” as fans cheered. He admitted, “I can’t tell you all how nervous I am. I’ll need all the encouragement I possibly can get.”

Meanwhile, Hrithik’s directorial debut with Krrish 4 continues to build buzz. Last week, Rakesh Roshan posted an emotional note on Instagram, celebrating Hrithik’s journey from actor to director, exactly 25 years since his debut. He shared that Hrithik is now being launched as a director by both himself and Aditya Chopra. While the film is currently in pre-production, Krrish 4 is expected to begin shooting in early 2026.

While the cast of Krrish 4 has not been officially announced, IMDb suggests that Nora Fatehi will be part of the film, and Preity Zinta is expected to reprise her role as Nisha from Koi… Mil Gaya. The film is also rumored to explore a time-travel plot, where Krrish, after defeating Kaal, gains access to an ancient artifact that allows him to journey through various eras in a bid to stop a sinister force intent on rewriting history.
This created buzz on social media. One user on X commented, “He can’t be more nervous than us fans🥲. Heard a rumor that plot of Krrish4 is excellent. So, let’s wait for movie to go on floor.”
