A Look Back at the ‘Krrish’ Franchise
The Krrish franchise began with ‘Koi… Mil Gaya’ in 2003, which introduced Hrithik Roshan as Rohit Mehra, a mentally challenged young man who gains superhuman abilities after encountering an alien named Jadoo.
This laid the foundation for ‘Krrish’ (2006), which introduced Krishna Mehra (Hrithik Roshan), the son of Rohit and Nisha (Preity Zinta). Raised by his grandmother Sonia (Rekha), Krishna eventually steps out into the world and embraces his destiny as the superhero Krrish. The film was a massive hit and became one of Bollywood’s most iconic superhero films.
In ‘Krrish 3’ (2013), the story expanded further, with Krrish battling the menacing villain Kaal (Vivek Oberoi) and his army of mutants. Priyanka Chopra played a crucial role in the story, portraying Krishna’s wife, Priya Mehra.
Will Priyanka Chopra Return in ‘Krrish 4’?
With the fourth installment now in the works, the biggest question remains—will Priyanka Chopra reprise her role?
There has been no official confirmation yet, but her reaction to Hrithik’s directorial debut has fueled hopes among fans. Given Priya Mehra’s important role in the franchise’s storyline, it wouldn’t be surprising if the filmmakers bring her back.
If Priyanka chooses to return, it would mark her first Bollywood film in years, as she has been focused on Hollywood projects.
What’s Next for ‘Krrish 4’?
As Hrithik Roshan gears up to direct and star in ‘Krrish 4’, fans eagerly await more updates on the film’s cast, plot, and release date. The project is being co-produced by Rakesh Roshan and Aditya Chopra, further raising expectations.
While we wait for more details, one thing is certain—Hrithik Roshan’s vision for ‘Krrish 4’ promises an exciting and action-packed experience for audiences.
