Rakesh Roshan targets Christmas 2018 for Krrish 4

Last morning, Hrithik Roshan had tweeted a link with a picture of a Krrish idol made to look like Ganpati. It was a hint that the father-son duo of Rakesh Roshan and Hrithik were planning on making the fourth film in the Krrish franchise.

Now, we have been able to get confirmation that Rakesh Roshan has indeed decided to make Krrish 4. The script isn’t ready yet and the film won’t go on floors anytime soon, but the producer-director is targeting the Christmas 2018 weekend to release the biggest superhero film of the industry.

Times Of India also quoted Rakesh Roshan as saying ”When my wife showed me a tweet with Bappa’s picture as Krrish, it reaffirmed my belief that Krrish is the original superhero we have. It boosted my confidence and inspired me to make the fourth instalment. Ganesha is also called the God of Auspicious beginnings. I guess this was his way of saying that we have his blessings for Krrish 4.”

If the plan is to release ‘Krrish 4’ during Christmas 2018, it would set up a clash with Shah Rukh Khan’s untitled film directed by Aanand L Rai – which was announced last week. It’s too early to confirm the clash, because Roshan doesn’t usually start his films before he is entirely convinced by the script.

Hrithik and SRK will take each other on during the ‘Republic Day’ weekend next year when ‘Raees’ releases on the same day as ‘Kaabil’.

The entire Krrish series – which started with ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ in 2003, followed by ‘Krrish’ in 2006 and ‘Krrish 3’ in 2013 has been hugely successful. In fact, when Rakesh Roshan has directed Hrithik, the duo have set box office records. They delivered the highest grosser of the year twice with ‘Kaho Na Pyaar Hai’ and ‘Koi Mil Gaya’.

  • Hrithik’s acting is still top of theleague and no competition for these other oldies in Bollywood and far greater than any actor in the current era in Hindi cinema. Hrithik’s acting inMohenjo Darois award worthy, not fit for Bollywood’s low standards! Hrithik’s career best performances in Guzaarish, Jodha Akbar and Dhoom 2 are still better than any acting performances from thiese current Indian actors. Hrithik may not lead or dominate the political stage in Bollywood, but he sure is a master classActor who has the perfect package ie acting, dance, height, body, looks, personality, skin complexion, dress sense, character, sense of style and humour.Hrithik Roshanis Bollywood’s best asset, don’t take him for granted! I love Hrithik’s versatility and diverse roles, not cliche but only he can play a historical icon, a villager farmer, an angry/ depressed blind or disabled man, a warrior, a superhero and a stuntman action hero like Bond all at the same time and he looks younger as he ages, really an underrated actor and other actors are jealous of Hrithik that is why they are tarnishing his success!!!!

  • Everybody now thinks there is fun SRK ke clash karne mein & beating the hell outta him.
    People dont want SLB 2 enjoy that fun alone..

  • So it mean srk 2 year later movie is also targeting for clash.
    Salman is undoubtedly the biggest star right now, as everybody thinks he will have a release on Eid 2018. Aamir is coming on diwali with Big B. So Christmas is slated for clash. I don’t think Ajay’s SOS will release on Diwali 2018 but if yes than it would be an interesting clash too.
    Among srk vs Krrishh 4, Hrithik will have an edge because of franchise factor but srk fan following is very strong too.

    Bollywood is seriously going through worst phase of recent times. Big actors are targeting edx with their high budget movie. Akshay targeting republic,independence day and post IPL with his medium and low budget films. Remaining time we are having no good big films.

  • LOL, Everybody wants to Clash their film with choota–mota flopstar haklu ! He should release his films on Pluto, he will definitely get a solo release there !

  • @Javed.. seriously? Can you tell me one simple thing? When SRK knew Kaabil was announced for Republic Day and he still announced his film Raees.. why can’t Rakesh Roshan announce Krrish 4 for Christmas 2018?

    Double standards?

  • Now, we have had enough of Blockbusters and 200Crores and 300Crores grossers. Now, we are no more excited with that alone.
    Now, our game is up and we want to see others clash with Bhai films and his films still earn 200Crores or Blockbusters.
    #Kick Ke Liye

  • K4 is a sureshot blockbuster, hope it gets solo x-mas and i personally think srk should shift to eid as he has a successful record with chennai express .I don’t think salman is coming on eid this time and people love to see khans @eid as mostly muslims love them .

  • As a srk fan i am dissapointed a lot…not with roshans but with SRK & RED CHILLIES…why srk not go with the recent trend…it may not be SRK fault also as JTHJ announce first but AD come with SOS…then in 2013 Eid OUTMD announced first but CE comes and i dont think ajay akshay will ever deserved EDX solo release…SRK can release DILWALE on 25th DEC as BM will release on 18 DEC…clashes can taken place but it would have not get ugly…There will be now SRK fans vs all fans ( SALMAN AMIR HR AKSHAY AJAY )…thats why SRK is called KING KHAN…

  • Everyone likes to keep the VIP seat or period Eid vacant for their boss Salman whether or not he announces a film or not. Ssshhh silent. no arguments!

  • There needs to be a solution for these big budget clashes….

    Any way this is going to be the biggest clash in the history of Indian boxoffice.

    Avataar 2 vs Dwarf movie vs Krrish 4

  • @javed and other srk fans ,
    don’t bash on k3’s collection otherwise accept u have no opening day or weekend record and srk has just one 200 cr. grosser

  • Run Shahrukh run! Else it will the end of your career! K3 did 244 cr now K4 will do atleast 50 crore more even with clash!

  • I do not like SRK and have no respect for Hrithik, but if a Clash happens, I do not envy the fans of SRK, a lot of dirt and negativity will write fans Hrithik against SRK, his film and his fans, it is checked on Akshay and Rustom I such negativity not seen even by Salman fans!

  • Would have surely criticised the makers but then what Raees makers did with Kaabil wasn’t expected from them.
    So we Srkians have no right to criticise the makers of K4.
    Hope both movies does well

  • 3 Shots that shocked SRKtards:
    1. #Raees postponed
    2. #TigerZindaHai coming on Xmas instead of #TheRing
    3. #Krrish4 clashing wv Dwarf movie

    No one has guts to take on Salman Khan and Aamir Khan…Agree or watch Happy New Year

  • I am really happy to see K4 in the making . Krrish is one of the biggest franchises in Bollywood and the Combo of Hrithik and Rakesh Ji is exceptional . They have a terrific record with each other . So Kaabil and K4 next 2 movies of Hrithik will be with Filmkraft Productions . I hope they have a solid script with a evil villain and top notch VFX . With clash or without clash K4 is one of the biggest contenders for the HGOTY 2018 . K3 was not as engaging and entertaining as KMG and Krrish . After the failure of MD Hrithik is taking his decisions wisely and I am really happy to see this . As far I see Kaabil will be the only release of HR in 2017 as K4 will take a lot of time with Pre production, Shooting, Post production, VFX and Special effects . If the clash between Raees and Kaabil is averted than there is a possibility for one of these movies to have a solo release . I am also waiting for the announcement of the other lead actors . Kangana and Vivek will not be a part of K4 . Priyanka might continue as Priya Mehra but it is too early to assume anything . I hope they cast someone menacing and deadly for the negative role and I am sure the scale of K4 will be bigger than K3 . Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • If Papa Roshan is not officially announced then why you fake media’s are targeting KING SRK unncessarily??????

    Now suddenly hrithik fan’s opinion will change.they’ll say it tit for tat.

    Their logic that if doh bites you then you’ll also bite the dog.if someone degrade his level(according to them),then they also will degrade their level,rofl.

    You target KING SRK,fine.not only you,whole bollywood targets.

    That’s why you’re doing this hypocrisy.the same KING KHAN provided RED CHILLIES VFX contribution,which you also may have forgotten.

    Papa Roshan forgot KING KHAN’S contribution when he was keep saying KING KHAN did a lot for him in 90’s.koi baat nahi hain,let him do hypocrisy.when so much dates are available why he only targeted CHRISTMAS 2018—-just because KING KHAN is releasing.

    Don’t worry SCRIPT now a days are winning battles.and so will ALR’S NEXT WILL definitely win and copy paste x men series will be biggest crap just like krrish3 and will become a flying jatt.

    Too much manipulation by roshan team.they’ll regret it for their lifetime,it’ll cost beta Roshan ‘s career definitely.

  • Salman and Aamir are ruling this decade. While Salman is churning blockbuster after blockbuster with his every release, Aamir has churned out all time blockbuster with all time grosser in domestic and overseas.
    No one targeting them due to their unique hold at boxoffice. While Salman enjoy the hardcore fan following in major markets in India with Family following, Aamir comes with his stardom multiplied with the choice of his films who command the trust of audience. They are in different league in this decade.
    Salman has brilliant 2010-2016, Aamir had great 2006-2016, where 2008-2014 is simply unparalleled. But Salman came really strong in last 2 years with brilliant movies like Sultan and BB.

    Srk and Hrithik are going through some bad phase of their respective career.

  • The comments from srk fans r hilarious…… how jealous they r……but wait guyzz they have not confirmed the date…its just their thought..still long way to go for 2018.. concentrate on kaabil and raees first…

  • SRK fans after chennai express —–> rohit shetty is an awesome director ,srk rohit combo is a blast ,dilwale will break all records
    …….
    SRK fans after dilwale —–> rohit shetty is such a crap director he don’t know how to make movies ,he is responsible for dilwale’s debacle
    ……….
    SRK fans after loosing clash with bajirao ——-> sanjay leela bhansali is such a egoistic person ,he is so stubborn ,he clashes with dilwale ,his padmavati will be a big flop
    ……….
    SRK fans when tiger zinda hai announced ——-> padmavati should clash with this crap movie TZH ,slb is an awesome director ,padmavati will be a masterpice and will be blockbuster ?

    such a stupid fanbase, but no offence to SRK he is a good actor but his fans r just.

  • EID 18 slot is still vacant, but whole Nation knows Industry’s numero uno megastar has a Monopoly on that, I think Dabangg 3 or AR Murrugadoss movie will release on EID 18, Diwali was acquired by Aamir’s Thugs of Hindostan, Mr. Rakesh Roshan is smart enough to know this things and he is aware of the fact that Xmas weekend was booked by some flop YRF/Dharma star that’s why he is targeting Xmas weekend ? !
