Hrithik Roshan Locks A Blockbuster Line-Up After 'Fighter'

Mumbai, May 3 - After the debacle box office performance of "Vikram Vedha", Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan is hoping to turn the tide with Fighter, co-starring Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor, which is currently in production for January 2024 release.

Directed by Siddharth Anand, "Fighter" is shaping up nicely and is among the most anticipated Indian movies at the moment. The aerial action thriller is being shot on a huge scale on par with Hollywood action films. The plot details have been kept under wraps for now but "Fighter" is already being seen as a huge money spinner for the makers.



After "Fighter", Hrithik is in no mood to turn his head away from big-scale action entertainers as he has locked action-packed blockbusters for the next few years. Most of the shoot of "Fighter" is already completed and the makers are hoping to wrap it by June. After this, Hrithik will move to Yash Raj Films' War 2.

The spy action thriller "War" is already an established brand after its blockbuster success in 2019, and now, YRF is making sure the sequel reaches the next level. The studio is planning to make "War 2" on a bigger scale than the first film and has roped in one of the biggest South Indian superstars Jr. NTR to headline it with Hrithik.

The inclusion of Jr. NTR has made "War 2" a proper blue Pan India film that will be helmed by "Brahmastra" director Ayan Mukerji. Apart from being a sequel to a highly successful film, "War 2" is a part of YRF's highly successful ambitious spy universe. It will follow the events of Salman Khan-fronted "Tiger 3" which releases on Diwali this year. The shoot for "War 2" begins in November this year.



After "War 2", Hrithik will headline his home production's Krrish 4 which is easily the most-awaited film of him. The 4th installment of the superhero franchise was announced way back in 2016 but it couldn't get on the floor due to some reasons. It is now moving forward as Rakesh Roshan has locked the basic story and is working on the screenplay.

The official announcement is yet to be made but it is said that Karan Malhotra, who previously directed Hrithik Roshan in "Agneepath" (2012), will be directing the upcoming superhero sequel. Rakes Roshan, who directed the earlier three films, will be monitoring the progress of the movie this time around. It is said that the pre-production of "Krrish 4" will commence in early 2024 while the regular shoot will start in the second half of 2024.

The combined budget of the aforementioned three films is said to be around 1000 crores and the makers are showing full confidence in them given the successful track record of Hrithik.
