Krrish 4 ₹500 Crore Budget Update:The long-awaited superhero sequel Krrish 4, one of Indian cinema’s most anticipated films has hit a major roadblock as a budget dispute between star-actor Hrithik Roshan and producer Aditya Chopra has stalled production plans, industry sources confirm.
According to reports from Times of India and Bollywood Hungama, the clash centres on the financial scale of the project. Hrithik Roshan, who is set to make his directorial debut with the film alongside reprising his iconic role as Krrish is said to be pushing for a ₹500 crore budget to realise the film’s ambitious visual effects and blockbuster appeal.
Krrish 4 ₹500 Crore Budget Update
Reliable sources have confirmed that Krrish 4 has gone on back-burner as Hrithik Roshan and Aditya Chopra are not aligning on the budget of this superhero epic. “Hrithik Roshan wants to make the film at a huge budget close to Rs. 500 crores, and Aditya Chopra believes that it’s essential to have an upper cap to the film around the Rs. 350 crore mark. After multiple rounds of discussions, the duo have at the moment put Krrish 4 on the back burner,” a source told Bollywood Hungama.
However, Aditya Chopra head of Yash Raj Films (YRF), which is co-producing the movie reportedly believes the budget should be capped at around ₹350 crore to keep the project financially viable. After multiple rounds of discussions, the two camps have yet to reach a decision, delaying final production decisions and pushing shooting dates out of 2026.

What This Means for Krrish 4?
The budget disagreement has forced the makers to put the project on the back-burner for now, with industry insiders suggesting that Krrish 4 will not begin filming this year as earlier hoped. Hrithik Roshan is making script changes while searching for production companies that will support his creative work at the level he needs.

Roshan and YRF have not released official statements about the budget deadlock, which has developed after fans waited three years for a resolution since Krrish 3 the last movie in the series.
Today superhero movies require advanced visual effects combined with intricate fight scenes and international film production techniques which result in expenses that exceed standard Bollywood movie costs.
The ₹500 core request from Hrithik demonstrates his dedication to this project yet studio executives warn that this funding approach presents major financial dangers within the Indian business environment.
According to insiders Krrish 4 can proceed with outside funding yet production schedules remain indefinite because actual filming will not begin until late 2026 or early 2027.
Fan Expectations & Future Outlook
“Hrithik is also a practical guy and has taken Aditya Chopra’s feedback positively. He is relooking at certain feedback given by Adi, and at the same time in talks with other studios to fund the film. He is also looking to start another film before completely moving into Krrish 4. He has read multiple scripts and will green-light one very soon.”
Franchise fans still maintain optimism about Krrish 4 despite the ongoing challenges. The financial discussions gain critical importance because Hrithik Roshan plays both leading man and director in India’s most famous superhero movie.
