Hrithik Roshan to headline W2 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 W2 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, W2, and Krrish 4 are expected to emerge as the highest grossers.
W2 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 W2 in Mumbai. He along with the entire crew of W2 will soon leave for Europe to shoot a long and major portion of the movie.
Released in 2019, the success of W1 changed the fate of Hrithik Roshan. With W1, 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 W1 came in 2022. 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. The film also starred Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, and Akshay Oberoi among others. FTR was directed by Pathaan (2023) and W1 (2019) director Siddharth Anand. The film is produced by Siddharth Anand under his new production company Marflix Pictures.
FTR is an aerial drama. The film is the first installment of a planned aerial drama film franchise. However, the future of Siddharth Anand’s planned aerial drama film franchise is uncertain because FTR failed to match the expectations of the audience. FTR had a great opening weekend at the box office 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. FTR 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 drama stunt movies ETT (2012) and TZH (2017) with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. Both films were blockbusters at the box office.
In 2019, Aditya Chopra produced another drama film ‘W1’ with Hrithik Roshan and T Shroff as a standalone film. Again, W1 was a blockbuster at the box office.
But after signing Shahrukh Khan in Pathaan, Aditya Chopra developed the idea of the YRF 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 Universe. She will head the female film titled ‘Alpha’. She is shooting for the same.
But for now, the next film from the YRF Universe is ‘W2’. W2 is one of the most awaited and anticipated films of 2025. It is predicted to become one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever. W2 is special for many reasons. It is a large-scale hardcore drama film starring Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani. But one of the biggest reasons to watch W2 is Jr. NTR.
One of the biggest movie stars of the country from the Telugu Cinema, Jr. NTR is making his Hindi debut with W2. He is playing the main antagonist against Hrithik Roshan in W2. Jr. NTR was signed for W2 post the mammoth success of his last film ‘RRR’ and YRF’s 2023 film ‘Pathaan’. Ayan Mukerji director of ‘Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani’ and ‘Brahmastra’ is directing W2.
