Mumbai, March 28: Superstar Hrithik Roshan is set to make his directorial debut with “Krrish 4”, the next installment in his blockbuster superhero franchise, the makers announced on Friday.
The much-anticipated film will be produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF) in association with Rakesh Roshan’s Filmkraft Productions and is scheduled to go on floors early next year.
Hrithik, who has headlined all three previous films in the franchise, takes over the directing duties from his father Rakesh Roshan. “I’m passing the baton of the director of ‘Krrish 4’ to my son, Hrithik Roshan, who has lived, breathed and dreamt about this franchise since its inception with me! Hrithik has a clear and a very ambitious vision of taking Krrish’s journey forward with the audience for the next decades. I couldn’t be more prouder to see him wear the director’s hat for a film that means the world to us as a family.
“‘Krrish’ has entertained audiences the world over and Hrithik will now reveal the next chapters of this superhero saga and take the vision I created so many years ago to greater heights,” Rakesh Roshan said in a statement. The director, also known for directing several successful films including “Khoon Bhari Maang”, “Karan Arjun” and “Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai”, welcomed Yash Raj Films’ head Aditya Chopra to the franchise.
