In a statement shared with Variety, Rakesh said, “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.” He added, “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.”

The film is expected to release later this year. Rakesh said that Aditya convinced Hrithik to take up direction. “It brings me so much joy to see someone like Adi as the producer of Krrish 4.
