The beloved Krrish franchise is entering a new chapter, and this time, it’s Hrithik Roshan who will be leading not just as the star, but also as the director. With Rakesh Roshan handing over the reins to his son, a new creative journey begins — one that Hrithik admits is both thrilling and daunting.
Taking charge of a franchise that has captivated audiences for years is no small feat, and Hrithik addressed the challenge candidly during an event in the United States. Known for his honesty and introspective nature, the actor didn’t shy away from acknowledging the emotional weight of the responsibility.
“I am afraid and nervous. I feel like I’m back in kindergarten. It seems I have to grow up in a whole different way all over again,” Hrithik shared, describing his leap into the director’s chair.
In a now-viral video from the event, Hrithik Roshan expressed that his desire to step behind the camera isn’t sudden. “I feel like I have a filmmaker deep inside,” he said, hinting at a creative instinct that’s been long nurtured, even if quietly.
The decision to direct, however, comes with uncertainty — something Hrithik is embracing with humility and hope. “It’s going to be a new challenge — uncertainties, seeking, searching. I’m sure there will be moments where I feel like I’ve made the wrongest decision ever. And in my alone moments — the moments when I feel fear — I will remember you all, and I will remember the love.”

As he prepares to reimagine the superhero saga that has become a cultural phenomenon, Hrithik is not just stepping into a new role but into a legacy — one shaped by his father and adored by fans for nearly two decades. And as he ventures into uncharted territory, it’s clear that his guiding force will be the very people who’ve supported him from the start.
