With Hrithik stepping into his new role as director, has he already made his first big decision of the film -- roping in Priyanka Chopra to make her Bollywood comeback in the next instalment? A source close to the production told Pinkvilla, “Hrithik and Priyanka are a successful pair and have an excellent work relationship. It was more of a no-brainer for PC to come on board Krrish 4, as the story continues the journey of characters from Koi Mil Gaya to Krrish, Krrish 3, and now the fourth instalment. The actress was bowled over by the vision of Hrithik Roshan to take the franchise forward, and was ecstatic to see him take over the challenges of directing the film.”

The film will be backed by Yash Raj Films, with pre-production already underway.

Pun intended,” the source added.
