Rakesh Roshan on Krrish 4’s Budget Issues

"Krrish 4 will happen soon, for sure. Actually, it’s caught up with budget issues. It’s a high-budget film and requires a large scale. If we try to cut the budget, the storyline will suffer, and I don’t want to do it that way. I will not compromise on anything. I want to get the budget and scale right, and only then will we start working on it."

With Roshan's commitment to maintaining the film’s scale and quality, fans can remain hopeful that Krrish 4 will eventually materialize into a grand cinematic experience.
