Argus News - Krrish 4 Hits a Roadblock as Hrithik Roshan and Aditya Chopra Clash over Budget

Mumbai, Jan 9: The much-anticipated Bollywood superhero movie ‘Krrish 4’ has been delayed following the disagreement among the makers over the budget.

The movie is one of India’s most popular and eagerly awaited projects, but a difference over the spending has stopped progress for now.

Hrithik Roshan, who will play the protagonist and also direct the film, wants the movie to be very grand and spectacular. He believes that to make the story and special effects impressive, the budget should be very high — around ₹500 crore, according to reports.

However, reports suggest that producer Aditya Chopra, of Yash Raj Films (YRF), thinks this amount is too large and risky. He has suggested a smaller budget of ₹350 crore so the movie remains financially safer for the production company. 

The disagreement between Hrithik Roshan and Aditya Chopra has now forced the film’s shoot to a pause, casting uncertainties over the beginning of the production. Fans now have to wait until 2027 before the movie can be released in theatres.

While the future of the movie is still uncertain, Hrithik Roshan is reportedly considering working on another film before ‘Krrish 4’ begins. He is also said to be in talks with other studios that might be willing to support his vision for the big-budget project.

He’s also producing the thriller series ‘Storm’ under his HRX Films banner, with production wrapping up and post-production underway in early 2026.

Aditya Chopra is expected to focus on expanding the Yash Raj Films slate with major franchise films, including new installments in the YRF Spy Universe and Dhoom.
