Hrithik has a clear and ambitious vision of taking Krrish’s journey forward with audiences for the next decades.”

He further added, “I couldn’t be more proud to see him wear the director’s hat for a film that means the world to us as a family. Krrish has entertained audiences around the globe, and Hrithik will now reveal the next chapters of this superhero saga and elevate the vision I created so many years ago to even greater heights.”
