Krrish 4 just hit a huge speed bump, and fans are feeling let down. The big problem? Money. Hrithik Roshan, who’s not only set to star but also direct for the first time, wants the film to look massive, he’s aiming for a jaw-dropping budget close to ₹500 crore. Aditya Chopra at Yash Raj Films, though, is digging in his heels at ₹350 crore. The two just can’t agree, so the movie’s been put on ice. Now, instead of filming this year, the wait for Krrish’s comeback stretches all the way to 2027.

If you’ve been following since Koi... Mil Gaya back in 2003, you know the Krrish saga is pretty much Indian superhero royalty. Hrithik’s masked hero has been a box office magnet, with the trilogy raking in over ₹800 crore worldwide. When word got out about Krrish 4 and Hrithik’s team-up with YRF, fans went wild, he promised next-level visuals and, for the first time, would take on double duty as star and director.

But that vision’s now tangled in a tug-of-war over budget, especially when it comes to VFX. Hrithik wants to bring in outside experts to push the film’s look to the max, even if it means spending more. Chopra, on the other hand, wants to keep things in-house at YRF to save cash. According to an insider, “After a bunch of meetings, they just set Krrish 4 aside for now.” Sound familiar? Last year, money issues stalled the project, and even though things seemed to settle for a bit, the same fight has come back.

Fans aren’t shy about their feelings online. Some call the delay “a blessing in disguise,” with a few even wondering if Krrish still matters in an age where superhero movies are everywhere. Others are laser-focused on the VFX drama, backing Hrithik’s push for high-end effects.

Hrithik’s not just sitting around, though. He’s tweaking the script to fit the new budget and reaching out to other studios who might want in. In the meantime, he’s lining up another acting project, word is, we’ll hear about it any day now, which should tide fans over until 2027.

And here’s a twist: rumors say Priyanka Chopra Jonas is coming back as the leading lady, marking her big Bollywood return after years in Hollywood. Sources say she’s already signed on, which is only fueling the hype. If true, we might get that old Krrish-Priyanka magic back, and maybe even catch the attention of fans worldwide.

So what happens now? Either Chopra agrees to up the budget, or Hrithik finds a new partner to back his vision. For now, Krrish 4’s future is up in the air. But knowing Hrithik, he’s not giving up without a fight. Don’t count out India’s favorite superhero just yet, this story’s far from over.
