During his interaction with fans, Hrithik expressed heartfelt gratitude for the continued love and craze for Krrish. “We are on the heels of beginning the journey of Krrish 4 as soon as I go back,” he said. The actor shared his hopes that the upcoming film receives the same warmth and support as the earlier parts.

Speaking about taking charge as director, Hrithik admitted to feeling nervous and overwhelmed by the new challenge. “I am back to kindergarten. Seems I have to grow up in a whole different way all over again. It’s going to be a new challenge, a new struggle… uncertainties, seeking, searching,” he confessed. He added that there will be moments of doubt, but in those times, he will rely on the love of his fans to carry him through. “I will need everyone’s blessings and support,” he said.

Priyanka Chopra, of course, has shared screen space with Hrithik in the Krrish series, playing his character’s love interest in both Krrish (2006) and Krrish 3 (2013). The two were also seen together in Agneepath (2012), directed by Karan Malhotra.

Last month, Rakesh Roshan officially announced that Hrithik would take on directorial duties for Krrish 4, passing the torch to his son in what promises to be a defining chapter in the iconic superhero saga.
