A lot has been said and written about Krrish 4, the next instalment of the immensely successful superhero film franchise Krrish. The much-awaited movie is scheduled to enter theatres in 2020, but the makers are yet to roll the camera.
With Rakesh Roshan, writer-director of the franchise, presently recovering from cancer surgery, many people thought that the project would face another delay. However, if fresh reports are to be believed, the final script of the film is almost locked and the casting process is expected to begin at the earliest.
A well-placed source reveals, “Rakeshji’s script is almost locked but there is some fine tuning to do. The parts are being written and the actors will start getting locked at the earliest now. Since the film is a VFX laden one and a lot of films have gotten delayed because of inadequate preparations during the shooting stage, Rakeshji wants to make sure that he gets all that in place before he shoots on chroma backgrounds among other things”.
The source goes on to add, “Many VFX supervisors will need to be present on the sets to study the script and understand Rakeshji’s visualisation before starting the work so that the post-production and the VFX can happen smoothly and quickly to enable the release date on time”.
Krrish 4, which stars Hrithik Roshan as the male lead, is slated to roll into cinemas on Christmas 2020.
