Rakesh Roshan discussed the delay in directing Krrish 4, which stars his son Hrithik Roshan, stating that he is unable to get the required budget for the film. He revealed that due to the grand scale of the movie, managing the finances has become a challenge.
In an interview with Gaana, Rakesh shared, “Kaafi saal se wait kar rahe hain lekin mera budgeting ho nahi raha hai. Picture ka scale bada hai. Scale chota karta hoon toh ek aam picture lagti hai. The world has become smaller. Aaj kal ke jo bacche hain, voh superheroes ki pictures itni dekh chuke hain ki unhe thoda sa bhi kuch fault nazar aayega toh criticise karenge.”

Further, Rakesh cited the examples of Marvel and DC, stating that they can’t create films like Krrish 4 in the same way, as they don’t have the same budget to spend. “We have to be very careful. Itne paise hote nahi hain humare paas. Hume kahani pe zyada concentrate karna padta hai. Halaki bade bade sequences honge picture main par agar 10 nahi honge toh 2 honge ya 3 honge,” he added.
Krrish 3 was released in 2013, starring Hrithik, Kangana Ranaut, Vivek Oberoi and Priyanka Chopra in the lead. The film became a massive hit, grossing Rs 393.37 crore at the box office, after being produced on a budget of Rs 95 crore.
The first movie in the Krrish superhero franchise was the 2003 film Koi… Mil Gaya, starring Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta, and Rekha. This was followed by Krrish, which was released in theatres in 2006.
