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’.

  • Krrish is d biggest & most successful superhero brand in india…no other actor can claim to be superhero apart from hrithik…poor khans…..thats Hrithik Roshan for u guyz……this announcement have made all hhrithik fans happy…..wish them loads of luck for K4…..bring it on…..

  • If this clash happen then it is one side clash where Hrithik beat Srk badly…..No doubt that Krish 4 is much bigger flim than any Srk movies……

  • who would do the vfx RCE or not would be interesting

    Hrithik needs a bb and from the looks of it even krrish 4 will not provide it

    I think post ipl 2018 would hav been good for krrish

    both krrish nd dwarf are high on vfx and aims to provide a good visual experience and in aavtar 2 with 3D they would hav their task cut out

  • K4 is anyway bigger and better than that dwarf film…..people will always enjoy superhero cum adventuros cum action film instead of seeing a hero in dwarf role….hehehheheheheh…..too much fun….i want rakesh roshan to stick to Xmas 2018 as its a biggest holiday season and can accommodate two film…..

  • Although, Anand L Rai’s next, looks good on content, as it is based on a very beautiful novel, and SRK’s holds larger fan following, but Krrish is the only 3 movie franchise whose all parts have been blockbusters (Dhoom was just a hit). It will be huge no matter what. Krrish 3 recorded highest single day ever on its 4th day. Kids absolutely adore Krrish. And, I expect Krrish 4 to have improved VFX as it will release 5 years after Krrish 3, which had good visuals IMO. The plane sequence and climax fight sequence were very well executed, only “manvar” thing left the audience unhappy, leading to comparisons with mutants. Krrish 4 will most likely not repeat that mistake, same with music. Rajesh Roshan said he experienced with Krrish 3, he’ll be back to his comfort zone now. Less cliches will be mostly welcome, and Krrish 4 has potential to be a big commercial as well as critical success like Krrish in 2006. I want it to be edgier than Krrish 3. ALR is one of the best directors in the country, and when he has an actor like SRK and content like dwarf fortress story, it could turn into something magical. But, make no mistake, it is a risky project. It could go either way, either garner appreciation like Barfi or become a laughing stock.

    With that said, as a fan of cinema, I’m waiting for both the movies and want the clash to be averted. Both will appeal to kids and family audience, so their target audience is pretty much same and will be divided with the clash. I hope fans of both the fanbase will keep their cool and face the clash in a dignified way. Abusing each others won’t solve the problem.

  • Dear SRK fan..
    Rakesh Roshan din even announce the date. There is no need to bash Hrithik for that. Also, clash during every big holiday is a reality now as every actor/director wants best showcasing for their product. Lets not become emotional and personal about it. Many HR fans like me respect and love SRK..

    Dear HR fan..
    I too am equally excited about K4 but lets not go overboard with this announcement as we know, its a huge project and no one know when this movie will be ready. Also, no need to bash SRK for Kaabil.

    Dear fans of other stars..
    Pls dun take advantage of this situation and do not add fuel to the fire between SRK and HR fans..

  • But i wanted k4 to clash with either thugs or tiger zinda hain…..let salman and amir prove their stardom with clash…y should srk be targeted always…..hrithik akshay facing clash since last 2 years…..even salman and aamir should face clash….i am hrithik fan….

  • SRK annouced Raees 26th jan despite Kaabil announced first now Rakesh Roshan announce Krish4 despite ALR film looked xmas 2018 now Therefore Raees v/s Kaabil clash 100% centain also decide future of ALR Drawf Film v/s Krish4 clash too

  • @Criminal Baba at 1:42pm,

    Man what a comment, seriously I am laughing badly…..Srk is become a Mandir Ka Ghanta, jise aajkal har koi Baja raha hai…..ROLF

  • I’m sure k4 will be much bigger and better than k3……….so excited…bring it on rakesh roshan…….Hrithik roshan….India’s only superhero….proud to b hrithikian……

  • i dont know what happens now with two 150 crore mega budget movies.extremely disappointed both films has the potential to be mega blockbuster but with clash cant say anything.

  • lol Rakesh thinks this announcenent will force srk’s Raees release date to another date…without RCE team k4’s vfx will b like Flying jatt…now Hrithik wants to b thrown out of bollywood…after giving 2nd biggest disaster of Indian cinema by Mohenjo daru Hrithik has gone mad

  • During rustom vs mohenjodaro clash all salman fans are with akshay and abusing hrithik.now same Salman fans are licking feet of hrithik and rakesh sir to insult SRK. How much will u all stoop ?

  • HAHAHA… THE SCENARIO WILL CHANGE AFTER RAEES AND KAABIL CLASH..
    KITNA BHI KUCH BHI KAR LE
    AS I SAID NEW ERA WILL START FROM RAEES.

  • Important point to consider !!!
    1. Mohabatein clashed with mission kashmir that’s why kaho na pyar ha became the biggest hit of 2000 otherwise
    No chance for jadoo boy to deliver the biggest hit, he intentionally clashed with srk’s film so that he could top 2000 and he did, in fact, succeeded in his evil plan ..
    Kaho na pyar Hai total -38 cr
    Mohabatein – 33 cr with clash

    Similarly Don 2006 could become the biggest hit of the year if jaaneman hadn’t come alongside it … and dhoom 2 became the highest grossing film of 2006 !!!
    Now I hope u all have understood the reality of jadoo boy … he was just lucky in 2003 where his papa saved his ass from sinking after having given so many flops !!
    And this year akki thrashed his trashy and crappy MD !!!!
    Well that’s the indentity and reality of the biggest manipulators !!!!!!!
    Let his garbage kaabil clash with Raees then we will see if this pile of shit can cross 150 cr worldwide just like MD failed to cross 120 cr worldwide forget domistic !!

  • Everyone is after the one who is top pulling his leg , SRK is King of Bollywood that’s the reason everyone is after him!

  • This is a googly by Rakesh Roshan to tackle the clash between Raees and Kaabil…It was Kaabil who booked the Republic day weelend in january but Raees makers without consulting them announced the date and clashed and keep begging Roshans to move out…Now when SRK booked christmas 2018 for Anand L Rai film Roshans announces their most ambitious movie and one of the only successful Indian Superhero Movie franchise on the same date….Its like Tit for Tat…No if Raees moves and Krrish4 will also move…But personally i dont think Both movies should clash as both will have budget of around 150-180cr and with the clash they cant maximize profits…Ab aayega maja khel mein…

  • Salman fans feel ashamed of yourselves here Two superstars are CLASHING ok.

    Hood you post my comment

  • First mistake by RAEES team was shifted from eid 2016…Big mistake..coz excel announced RAEES.. before Sultan..?
    Hope Kaabil will get hit status…but RAEES sure shot blockbuster?

  • @ the beast, If SRK is a yrf star then why your lallu is working under YRF banner.tell him to not work with flop YRF anymore. lol !!!

  • @Disaster Kumar
    Then u are a bigger hypocrite than SRK fans. Idk wether you are a Salman, Hrithik or Ajay fan but why are you using a fake name(and that too about someone who isn’t related to ur comments at all). Afraid to be bashed back by SRK fans or what?

  • If RAEES will release on upcoming Christmas then both RAEES n Dangal will earn better than Republic release.
    Hope Bollywood avert clashes, it’s not good for any film?
