Krrish 4 Update: Hrithik Roshan To Begin Directorial Journey With Superhero Saga In Summer of 2026; Release Plans Locked

Mumbai, September 8 - After facing a major setback with War 2, Hrithik Roshan is looking to bounce back, and there is no bigger project than Krrish 4 to do that. The ambitious superhero film has been in the making for a long time, but shooting keeps getting delayed for various reasons. As reported previously, things are finally heading in the right direction. Veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, who will be producing this mega-budgeted film with Yash Raj Films, has given clarity on one of Bollywood's most-awaited projects, which will also mark Hrithik's directorial debut. During a recent interaction with Bollywood Hungama, the filmmaker confirmed that the pre-production is going on in full swing, as the Hrithik Roshan-starrer will go on floors in the summer of 2026. The announcement has put an end to years of speculation surrounding the fourth instalment of the beloved superhero franchise, which last saw its release back in 2013 with Krrish 3. The current plans to start shooting Krrish 4 are slightly different from the earlier plans of starting it in early 2026, and Rakesh Roshan said that the reason for this delay is the extensive pre-production time, which is required to mount the film on the desired scale. Rakesh Roshan further revealed that the team is aiming for a 2027 theatrical release. Given the scale of the project, the makers want to ensure ample time for filming and post-production, especially since the Krrish series is known for its ambitious visual effects and larger-than-life action set pieces. Fans can expect a film that not only continues the story of India’s first mainstream superhero but also elevates the cinematic experience to a global standard. Adding to the excitement, Krrish 4 is expected to bring the original cast back. Priyanka Chopra has reportedly been locked to continue reprising her role. Also, with YRF coming on board, the film has a powerful backing, which is expected to provide it with both the technical excellence and the grand scale needed to compete with international superhero films.

The first look teaser of the movie will be released in November this year, and the plans are to release the movie in the first half of 2027 in multiple languages worldwide. Stay tuned...

Housefull 5 Five-Week Box Office Collection: To Beat Bajirao Mastani and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 To Enter Top 50 Highest Net-Grossing Hindi Movie List?

Mumbai, July 11 - Akshay Kumar's comedy thriller Housefull 5 has completed five weeks at the box office. Despite the mixed reception, the movie has managed to earn a decent success. It has emerged as the biggest grosser for Akshay Kumar since Sooryavanshi (2021) at the global box office. ## At one point, it looked like Housefull 5 would be able to outgross Sooryavanshi's final worldwide gross of 293 crores, but due to competition and mixed word of mouth, the pace got slow at the box office. It will finish as the second biggest grosser for the superstar in the post-pandemic world, just short of Sooryavanshi at around 290 crores. ## Nonetheless, Housefull 5 has an outside chance to beat Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra's Bajirao Mastani (184.30 crores net) and Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (184.32 crores net) at the domestic box office to enter the top 50 biggest Hindi net grosser list. The movie needs another 1 crore net to surpass these two films, which looks extremely difficult, but might get there if it manages to stay in theatres for a few more weeks on limited theatres. In terms of India gross collection, Bajirao Mastani will remain ahead as tax rates were much higher when it was released in 2015. ## How much did Housefull 5 earn at the Indian box office in 5 weeks (35 days)? ## Housefull 5 is nearing its box office journey as it earned around 35 lakh in its 5th week, a massive drop of around 85% from the last week. It has earned approximately 183.30 crores net collection (218.35 crores gross) at the domestic box office and around 289 crores worldwide after 5 weeks. ## As said, the movie will finish below the 290 crores gross mark globally, as the second biggest Bollywood grosser of the year behind Chhaava (808 crores worldwide). With this collection, HF5 could have emerged as a box office hit, but the cost involved was much higher than any other comedy entertainer. ## Stay tuned...
