Addressing the rumours directly, Hrithik said, “What started off as just a rumour has now taken on an entire life of its own, and it's important to set the record straight. I would like to categorically clarify that I was never approached for Don 3 at any given time.

SCOOP: Budget math stalls Krrish 4 - Hrithik’s Rs. 500 cr. vision vs Aditya Chopra’s Rs. 350 cr. cap! Hrithik Roshan as Krrish is one of the most celebrated characters of Indian Cinema, and the last decade has seen a pent-up demand from the audience to see the return of this franchise for the fourth time. Hrithik was receptive to the audience and announced Krrish 4 in association with Yash Raj Films. This time around, the actor is donning a dual hat - of an actor and a director too, as Krrish 4 is to mark his debut as a director. But it seems that the fans will have to wait a little longer for Krrish 4. 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. Hrithik is meanwhile exploring the possibilities of collaborating with another studio on Krrish 4, and also reworking the script, keeping budget restrictions in mind. "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 st... #Hrithik_Roshan #Krrish #Chopra #Hrithik #Aditya_Chopra #math_stalls #stalls_Krrish #SCOOP #Aditya #Roshan
Hrithik Roshan lays down HRX Films rulebook: "You are a FOOL if you bypass the director!"; points out secret ingredient behind global success of RRR and Aamir Khan's films in China: "Integrity, conviction, unadulterated vision" In an interview with BrandEquity, Hrithik Roshan spoke in detail about what it takes for a story to earn a greenlight under HRX Films. He also explained why, for him, the final stamp always comes down to the director’s complete adoption of the script. Talking about his banner, Hrithik Roshan said, “HRX Films is a division of FilmKraft because that is the main school that I learned from. So, HRX Films operates under FilmKraft and it is the sweet spot between the commercial thinking of that school or my dad's school and content that is high on emotions, high on the nuances and HRX Films is about creating that sweet spot that brings both of these together. ”He explained, “Some big commercial films I have done are a community experience where you have the entire theatre clapping. But then there are some films that you watch just by yourself, and you feel fulfilled, you cry, and it changes you from the inside. It's cathartic and that catharsis, shall I say, I never get in a highly commercial banger of a film. That cathartic journey is always missed. So, HRX Films is an attempt to bring these two together and try to see if we can hit that sweet spot. ”Hrithik credited his cousin brother Eshaan, who identifies “the names, the scripts, the directors” and... #Hrithik_Roshan #Aamir_Khan #HRX_Films #Khan_films #Films #HRX #Roshan_lays #Roshan_spoke #unadulterated_vision #Hrithik
Priyanka Chopra Jonas cast as female lead in Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish 4 It is confirmed! Priyanka Chopra Jonas is back in Bollywood. Sources confirmed that she has been finalized for the female lead of the fourth segment of Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish. For those who came in late, Priyanka played the lead in the last two instalments of Krrish. She then headed westwards for stardom and marriage. She is back in Indian cinema with SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi, and now into Bollywood with Krrish 4. Her last Bollywood assignment was Shonali Bose’s The Sky Is Pink in 2019, after which she was finalized for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi. But the role slipped out of Priyanka’s fingers at the last minute and went to Alia Bhatt. This is where S S Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu stepped in. A source in the know revealed what happened next: “Unlike the A-listers in Bollywood, Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu had absolutely no problem working with Priyanka. They treated her like the cinema royalty that she is, offered her the money that she gets in the West, which is much more than what she ever got for any Hindi film, and expanded her role when she stepped in. ”A source very close to the project revealed that Priyanka has become very close to Mahesh Babu, his wife Namrata and their daughter Sitara. “This is Priyanka’s gateway into Bollywood via Telugu cinema. She has chosen to represent Indian cinema on a global platform through Rajamouli’s cinematic universe,” informed a hotshot Bollywood f... #Chopra_Jonas #Hrithik_Roshan #Priyanka_Chopra #Jonas_cast #Mahesh_Babu #Krrish #Priyanka #Bollywood #Chopra #Jonas
