After War, Hrithik Roshan to gear up for Krrish 4 soon

Hrithik Roshan, who is cherishing the fantastic opening day collection of his latest release War, opens up on much-awaited Krrish 4 and addresses rumuors around Satte Pe Satta remake.

Mumbai: Hrithik Roshan says work will soon begin on the fourth installment of Krrish, his Indian superhero franchise.

The first film, Koi... Mil Gaya, directed by the actor's father, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, released in 2003. It was followed by Krrish (2006) and Krrish 3 (2013).

In 2017, Hrithik Roshan decided to revive the superhit franchise. The War actor said he is curious about taking forward the series, which was put on the back-burner owing to his father's ill health.

In January, Rakesh Roshan was diagnosed with "early-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the throat".

"Right after War, I am going to sit with my father, get everyone together and restart work on Krrish 4. We had put it a little on the side because dad was recovering. Now that he is better, we will kick-start it once more," Hrithik Roshan told PTI.

Speculations are rife that the actor's next film will be a remake of Amitabh Bachchan's 1982 superhit Satte Pe Satta.

The actor earlier featured in the 2012 remake of Bachchan's Agneepath.

"'Agneepath' is dear to me. It was a tough one but it worked out. Satte Pe Satta is something I am considering but it is not official," Hrithik Roshan said.

Filmmaker Farah Khan is set to helm the Satte Pe Satta remake, which will be produced by Rohit Shetty. The 1982 film, directed by Raj Sippy, was adapted from the American musical, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The film featured Bachchan as the eldest of seven brothers living on a farm, with Hema Malini as the female lead.
