Hrithik Roshan Demands Rs 500 Crore For Krrish 4? Rakesh Roshan Calls Reports 'Nonsense'

Hrithik Roshan’s highly anticipated superhero film Krrish 4 has been making headlines, but the recent development around it was rather disappointing rather than exciting. Reports came in that a disagreement between Hrithik Roshan and Aditya Chopra over the budget has led to the film being stalled, but how true are these rumours? Rakesh Roshan has clarified.

Calling the news of Hrithik demanding a Rs 500 crore budget nonsense, Rakesh Roshan told Mid-Day, “It’s all nonsense that Hrithik has asked for a Rs 500 crore budget for top-tier VFX and world-class action for his directorial debut, while YRF [Yash Raj Films] wants to cap costs at Rs 350 crore. Making a good film catering to a [wide] audience takes time. Even I have taken time for each of my

Krrish offerings.”

Revealing the reason behind the delay in Krrish 4 going on floors, the veteran filmmaker said that Hrithik is currently tied up with the production house he launched this year. “Krrish [Hrithik] is on another planet and we are all waiting for his dates,” he joked, and added, “There are no issues; all is smooth. It’s teamwork between Adi, Hrithik, and me.”

Hrithik Roshan demanded Rs 500 crore budget?

According to a report by trade website Sacnilk, production on Krrish 4 was pushed as talks between Hrithik Roshan and producer Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj Films remain unresolved. Sources suggest Chopra has proposed a cap of around Rs 350 crore for Krrish 4 to keep the film commercially sustainable. Meanwhile, Hrithik Roshan, who is set to make his directorial debut with this instalment, envisions a massive scale with a budget close to Rs 500 crore.

About Hrithik’s Krrish

Krrish 4 will be made in association with Yash Raj Films, though Hrithik’s last big YRF project, War 2, didn’t hit the mark at the box office. Hrithik acknowledged the setback while attending an event in Dubai: “That’s very kind of you… You know, my film just bombed at the box office, so it feels very good to get all the love. Thank you.”

The franchise started with Koi Mil Gaya, where Hrithik’s character gains powers from an alien named Jadoo, which later pass on to his son Krishna Mehra in Krrish. Over the years, the films have become a defining part of Bollywood superhero lore.

Apart from Krrish 4, Hrithik Roshan has teamed up with Hombale Films, known for Kantara, for a new project described as “a tale of grit, grandeur and glory… where intensity meets imagination, and the Big Bang begins.”
