Hrithik Roshan announced the fourth installment of the Krrish franchise yesterday on the 14th of September. Interestingly, a picture of a life-sized Ganapati as Krrish that was shared on Twitter inspired Rakesh Roshan to make the decision.
This is what he had to say speaking about the film, "When my wife showed me a tweet with Bappa's picture as Krrish, it reaffirmed my belief that Krrish is the original superhero we have. It boosted my confidence and inspired me to make the fourth installment".
What is more interesting is that the team has, according to reports, planned to make it a 2018 Christmas release. Another notable release around the same time that year will be Shah Rukh Khan’s yet-to-be-titled film with Anand.L.Rai. So it might be that Krrish 4 will be the second Shah Rukh - Hrithik clash after Raaes -Kaabil showdown to happen on Republic day, 2017!
