Krrish 4 faces major setback as Siddharth Anand exits and Rakesh Roshan steps down as director

Fans waiting for Hrithik Roshan’s return as India’s homegrown superhero will have to hold on longer. The much-talked-about Krrish 4 has been delayed yet again, and this time, it’s due to a major shakeup behind the scenes.

Director-producer Siddharth Anand, who was earlier brought on board to steer the film, has now exited the project. Anand, known for hits like War and Pathaan, was supposed to co-produce Krrish 4 through his banner Marflix alongside Rakesh Roshan’s FilmKraft. However, with his upcoming commitments on King, starring Shah Rukh Khan, his schedule couldn’t accommodate the superhero film. Insiders clarify that Anand’s decision had nothing to do with the rumoured Rs 700 crore budget but was purely due to clashing timelines. Filming for King is set to continue throughout the year, leaving no room for Krrish 4 in his calendar.
