Hrithik Roshan to headline War 2 and Krrish 4
A Superstar, an amazing actor, a terrific dancer, and the most good-looking man in the Indian Cinema. Hrithik Roshan has often saddened his fans by doing fewer films. But that’s also what works best for him. He is a superstar but he doesn’t enjoy the mass fan following like other actors such as Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, and Prabhas.
Hrithik Roshan is presently on a break as he suffered an injury. But his fans are cheering as Hrithik’s superhero film franchise Krrish is returning with its fourth part. After the release of War 2 in 2025, Hrithik is expected to start the shooting of Krrish 4. Krrish is the most popular and successful Indian Superhero franchise in the history of Indian Cinema.
The last film from the Krrish franchise, Krrish 3 was released in 2013 and emerged as a blockbuster. In an event in 2021, Hrithik Roshan confirmed Krrish 4, and recently Hritiik’s good friend and director Siddharth Anand confirmed that Krrish 4 to go on floors in 2025. Rakesh Roshan, Hrithik’s dad has previously directed all the movies of the Krrish franchise. He will return as the director whereas Siddharth Anand will co-produce the film. Both the upcoming films of Hrithik Roshan, War 2, and Krrish 4 are expected to emerge as the highest grossers.
War 2 is set to release in 2025 with Krrish 4 in 2027
But with Priyanka Chopra moving to the US and Hollywood, it is uncertain if she will continue to reprise her role in Krrish 4. According to the sources, Shraddha Kapoor has been approached by the makers of Krrish 4. Either she will replace Priyanka Chopra or will come on board for a prominent role. Actor Vivek Oberoi took the job of the main antagonist in the previous part of Krrish. It will be interesting to see which actor comes on board as the main antagonist in Krrish 4. Krish 4 is bigger and grander than ever before.
As of now, Hrithik Roshan has shot a major fight sequence of War 2 in Mumbai. He along with the entire crew of War 2 will soon leave for Europe to shoot a long and major portion of the movie.
Released in 2019, the success of War changed the fate of Hrithik Roshan. With War, he delivered his highest-grossing film ever. The film earned over 53 crores on its opening day in India and entered the 300-crore club in India. The film grossed over 450 crores globally becoming a blockbuster.
Hrithik’s next release after War came in 2022 post the Covid pandemic. He starred opposite Saif Ali Khan in Pushkar & Gayathri’s directional Vikram Vedha, a remake of the Tamil film of the same name, also directed by Pushkar & Gayathri. The original movie in Tamil starred R. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead. The Tamil version was critically acclaimed and was commercially successful. But the Hindi version that starred a brilliant cast like Hrithik and Saif failed at the box office. Though the film received positive reviews but the film failed to perform well at the box office.
Hrithik’s last and most recent release came in January 2024. It was perhaps one of the biggest films of his career. He starred as Squadron Leader Shamsher ‘Patty’ of the Indian Air Force. The film also starred Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, and Akshay Oberoi among others. Fighter was directed by Pathaan (2023) and War (2019) director Siddharth Anand. The film is produced by Siddharth Anand under his new production company Marflix Pictures.
Fighter is an aerial action film inspired by the 2019 Pulwama attacks. The film is the first installment of a planned aerial action film franchise. However, the future of Siddharth Anand’s planned aerial action film franchise is uncertain because Fighter failed to match the expectations of the audience. Fighter had a great opening weekend at the box office due to the Republic Day holiday followed by a weekend but the film failed to perform on the weekdays. Made on a budget of 250 crores, the film earned over 300 crores globally but didn’t achieve the blockbuster status. Fighter received mixed to positive reviews. It was the most anticipated film of the year.
As of now, Hrithik Roshan is shooting for his next biggie which is slated to release on Independence Day 2025.
Aditya Chopra, head of Yash Raj Films (YRF) produced spy action thriller movies Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. Both films were blockbusters at the box office.
In 2019, Aditya Chopra produced another army-based action film ‘War’ with Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff as a standalone film. Again, War was a blockbuster at the box office.
But after signing Shahrukh Khan as a special agent in Pathaan, Aditya Chopra developed the idea of the YRF Spy Universe. He planned Bollywood’s biggest and one of Indian Cinema’s biggest movie franchises with Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, and Shahrukh Khan in the leads. Alia Bhatt is the newest entrant in the YRF Spy Universe. She will head the female spy film titled ‘Alpha’. She is shooting for the same.
But for now, the next film from the YRF Spy Universe is ‘War 2’. War 2 is one of the most awaited and anticipated films of 2025. It is predicted to become one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever. War 2 is special for many reasons. It is a large-scale hardcore action film starring Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani. But one of the biggest reasons to watch War 2 is Jr. NTR.
One of the biggest movie stars of the country from the Telugu Cinema, Jr. NTR is making his Hindi debut with War 2. He is playing the main antagonist against Hrithik Roshan in War 2. Jr. NTR was signed for War 2 post the mammoth success of his last film ‘RRR’ and YRF’s 2023 spy film ‘Pathaan’. Ayan Mukerji director of ‘Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani’ and ‘Brahmastra’ is directing War 2.
