Rakesh Roshan has finally broken his silence on the swirling reports that his son Hrithik Roshan demanded a staggering Rs 500 crore budget for the much-anticipated superhero film Krrish 4. The veteran filmmaker categorically dismissed these claims as 'nonsense' and clarified that there is no truth to the speculation.
Rakesh Roshan Denies Budget Demands
In a recent interaction, Rakesh Roshan addressed the rumours head-on, stating that the reports about Hrithik seeking a Rs 500 crore budget are completely baseless. He emphasised that Krrish 4 has not been delayed due to any financial disagreements. The filmmaker also refuted allegations of a rift with producer Aditya Chopra, asserting that their professional relationship remains cordial and collaborative.
Current Status of Krrish 4
According to Rakesh Roshan, the project is progressing smoothly, but it is currently on hold as they await the right schedule. Hrithik Roshan is occupied with other commitments, which has necessitated a pause in the production timeline. The director assured fans that all is well and that the film will move forward once the logistics align.
Background of the Rumours
Earlier reports had suggested that Hrithik Roshan had demanded an unprecedented budget of Rs 500 crore for Krrish 4, leading to a delay in the project. Additionally, there were whispers of a disagreement between Rakesh Roshan and Aditya Chopra over the film's budget and direction. However, Rakesh Roshan has now put these rumours to rest, confirming that there are no such issues.
Fans of the Krrish franchise have been eagerly awaiting updates on the fourth installment. The previous film, Krrish 3, was a massive box office success, and expectations are high for the next chapter. With Rakesh Roshan's clarification, it appears that the film is very much on the cards, albeit delayed due to scheduling conflicts rather than financial hurdles.
The filmmaker's statement brings relief to fans who were concerned about the project's fate. As Hrithik Roshan continues to juggle his busy schedule, the team behind Krrish 4 remains committed to delivering a film that lives up to the legacy of the franchise.
