Rakesh Roshan dismissed reports claiming Hrithik demanded a ₹500 crore budget for Krrish 4 leading to disagreements with producer Aditya Chopra who wants to keep the budget at ₹350 crore. "It's all nonsense...There are no issues," he added. Rakesh had earlier announced that Hrithik would make his directorial debut with Krrish 4 and that the movie would release in 2027.
