When we talk about superhero films in Indian cinema, the first name that comes to mind is the Krrish series. Hrithik Roshan is not only known for his dance and action, but ‘Krrish’ also made him India’s first real superhero. But when it comes to ‘Krrish 4’, for years this film has been limited to news and speculations only. Recently Hrithik Roshan clearly said that this film is a “very difficult project” and fans will have to wait.
So what is the reason that ‘Krrish 4’ is getting postponed again and again? Let’s understand one by one in ten big points.
‘Krrish’ – The biggest superhero brand of Indian cinema
‘Krrish’ is not just a film, but a name associated with the emotions of Indian audiences. This journey, which started with ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ in 2003, reached ‘Krrish’ in 2006 and ‘Krrish 3’ in 2013. This series changed the definition of superhero films in India. With a combination of Hollywood-style special effects and desi stories, ‘Krrish’ won the hearts of viewers of every generation. This is the reason that whenever ‘Krrish 4’ is mentioned, the expectations of fans start skyrocketing.
Hrithik’s statement – “The film is not easy”
Hrithik Roshan recently said in an interview that ‘Krrish 4’ is a difficult film. His indication was clear that this project is very big on technical and production level. He admitted that everything from the story to the visual effects should be such that it gives the audience the best experience ever. This is the reason why there is a delay in making the film.
Special effects and technology – the biggest challenge
Today’s audience has seen the spectacular visuals of Hollywood’s Marvel and DC films. In such a situation, if ‘Krrish 4’ is made, then its special effects will have to be at the same level. The Indian VFX industry has progressed a lot, but for a film of such a large scale, both technology and budget are a big challenge. This is the reason why the preparation of the film is taking a long time.
Long work on script and story
Rakesh Roshan (director of the film and Hrithik’s father) has always said that the story is the most important. The script of ‘Krrish 4’ has been in the works for a long time. According to reports, it may also have concepts like time travel and multiverse. But it is not easy to present them according to the Indian audience. Therefore, the team is constantly trying to improve the script.
Impact of Covid and production delay
The Covid-19 pandemic affected films around the world, and ‘Krrish 4’ was also not untouched by it. Whenever its preparations started, the pandemic and lockdown stopped the project. Due to this, the budget also increased and the production schedule had to be changed again and again.
Pressure of Hrithik’s other films
Hrithik Roshan is currently busy with ‘Fighter’ and other projects. It is very difficult for big actors to manage time. For a film like ‘Krrish 4’, he has to prepare for months – fitness, training, shooting and promotion. Therefore, his other films have also pushed this project back.
Patience of fans – expectations are increasing
Every time there is an update on ‘Krrish 4’, the happiness of fans on social media is worth seeing. But when the news comes that the film has been postponed, the same fans get disappointed. Still, fans do not lose hope, because for them Hrithik is the real superhero of India.
Superhero trend and global competition
When ‘Krrish’ first came, the trend of superhero films was new in India. But now the audience has seen films like Avengers, Spider-Man, Batman on the big screen. In such a situation, ‘Krrish 4’ will have to reach a level that can attract not only Indian but also global audiences. This pressure makes it even more difficult.
Hrithik’s fitness and look – a different challenge
To play the role of a superhero, not only acting but also physical preparation is necessary. Hrithik is always known for his fitness, but for ‘Krrish 4’ he will have to do even more rigorous training. Even at this stage of age, it is not easy to look the same as he did in 2006’s ‘Krrish’.
The way forward – hope for fans
Even though Hrithik Roshan said that the film is still late, but he also made it clear that ‘Krrish 4’ will definitely be made. This means that the wait may be long, but it will not be incomplete. Perhaps in the coming 2–3 years, fans will get to hear its big announcement. And when this film is made, it will definitely prove to be a new milestone for Indian cinema.
Conclusion
‘Krrish 4’ is not just a film, but the next chapter of India’s superhero dream. Both Hrithik Roshan and Rakesh Roshan know how much the audience expects from this film. That’s why they don’t want to rush into anything. Fans may find the wait long, but if the result really surprises the world, then this wait will be completely worth it.
