Krrish 4 eyeing 2027 release

The buzz comes amid confirmation from producer and veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan that 'Krrish 4' is finally back on track after years of delays. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Rakesh revealed that the team now has a clear vision for the film’s scale and production.

“The script didn’t take a lot of time. The pressure was the budgeting. Now that we have an idea of the definite budget required for this film, we’ll be starting the film,” he said, adding that Krrish 4 is slated for a 2027 release. “We are going to start shooting by the middle of next year. The pre-production is much more extensive for this film, so we have to be well prepared before we go on floors.”
