In an interview with Mid-Day, Rakesh said, “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 wants to cap costs at Rs 350 crore.” He also said that making a good film for a wide audience takes time, and even he had taken time for his Krrish films.

Addressing the delay in the upcoming superhero film, he said Hrithik is currently busy with other projects of his production house, and they are all waiting for his dates.

Earlier, in a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Rakesh Roshan had shared that the scripting was completed swiftly, but the budget required consideration.

“Now that we have an idea of the definite budget required for this film, we’ll be starting the film,” he said.

He also said that the pre-production work was underway, and the shooting would start in mid-2026 and is expected to continue until late 2026.

The veteran actor also shared that they are planning to release Krrish 4 in 2027.
