The Journey of Krrish: What’s Next in Krrish 4?
The Krrish franchise originated with Koi… Mil Gaya (2003), a heartwarming tale of Rohit, a differently-abled boy who acquires extraordinary abilities after an encounter with an extraterrestrial being. Its successor, Krrish (2006), introduces his son, Krishna, who inherits these superpowers and emerges as the masked vigilante, Krrish. The saga reaches new heights in Krrish 3 (2013), diving into a world of cutting-edge villains, genetic experiments, and gripping action sequences, solidifying its status as India’s most celebrated superhero franchise.
Hrithik Roshan’s transition into the director’s role is a groundbreaking milestone, not just for the beloved Krrish franchise but for Indian cinema at large. His creative vision promises to redefine superhero storytelling, bringing fresh energy and innovation to the screen. As anticipation builds, fans can look forward to an exhilarating cinematic experience as Krrish prepares to take flight once again.
