Krrish 4 is getting bigger and better! Rakesh Roshan has teased a major casting update, hinting at the return of legendary actress Rekha.
Rakesh Roshan drops a major casting hint for Krrish 4, sparking speculation about Rekha’s return.
The excitement surrounding Krrish 4, one of the most awaited sequels in Bollywood, continues to grow as filmmaker Rakesh Roshan teases a significant casting update. While fans eagerly anticipate Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as the beloved superhero, whispers of legendary actress Rekha potentially joining the cast have set off a flurry of speculation.
On February 16, 2025, the Roshan family hosted a celebratory event for their successful Netflix documentary, The Roshans. The gala attracted top stars, with Rakesh Roshan and Rekha striking a pose for photographers. During the festivities, a photographer probed Rakesh about Rekha’s possible role in Krrish 4. His cryptic response, “Hai hai, sab hai” (Yes, yes, everyone’s there) ignited a social media frenzy, raising questions about her involvement.
Amid the interviews, a particularly captivating video emerged showing Hrithik Roshan holding Rekha’s hand while she expressed her support and admiration. This moment has further fueled anticipation of their on-screen collaboration, sparking discussions among fans eager for their potential reunion.
Rekha’s portrayal of Dr. Sonia Mehra, Rohit’s mother, in the 2003 film Koi… Mil Gaya was crucial to the story. Her character did not appear in Krrish 3, but if Rekha returns for Krrish 4, it could reveal either a major twist or nostalgic callback to the franchise’s earlier themes.
Rakesh Roshan has been actively involved in the film’s progression and indicated in a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama that an official announcement regarding Krrish 4 is forthcoming. Although he has decided to step away from directing, he remains at the helm of the creative aspects of the project.
In 2023, during discussions with Pinkvilla, Rakesh Roshan shared that while the script for Krrish 4 is complete, it is still undergoing refinements. He acknowledged that Bollywood faces challenges in competing with the massive budgets of Hollywood superhero films but emphasized the importance of compelling narratives and innovative concepts. He expressed confidence that the film’s script would engage audiences from the very first moment.
In addition to his work on Krrish 4, Hrithik Roshan is preparing for his upcoming film, War 2, which is set to be the sixth entry in YRF’s spy universe. Notably, actor Ashutosh Rana has confirmed his return as Colonel Sunil Luthra in this high-octane sequel. Furthermore, Hrithik will also star in Alpha, alongside Alia Bhatt and Sharvari.
As anticipation for Krrish 4 swells, Rakesh Roshan’s hints about Rekha’s participation have added an exciting layer of intrigue. Whether she will reprise her iconic role or be introduced as a new character remains a tantalizing mystery. Fans are urged to stay tuned for the official announcement to uncover more details.
