Rakesh Roshan retires as director-will back ‘Krrish 4″ as producer

Last week he announced re-release
of his blockbuster film “Karan Arjun” and that for Karan Arjun reboot Hrithik will play Karan and Ranbir Kapoor as Arjun.

Now in his fresh announcement, he has decided to step down as director. Nevertheless he will back Krrish 4 as producer under the banner of Filmkraft Productions.

Siddharth Anand will direct Krrish 4
Infact, earlier this year, ‘Fighter’ director Siddharth Anand reposted a fan edit featuring Hrithik Roshan in and as ‘Krrish’ with the caption, “He’s coming back,” on his X handle and wrote, “Yup, he is.” This led fans to wonder if, after directing Hrithik Roshan in ‘Bang Bang’, ‘War’, and ‘Fighter’, he will yet again take the director’s chair for Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Krrish 4’.

Well, Rakesh Roshan made ‘Krrish’ into a cult franchise, and taking over the already exciting film to deliver what the audience expects is not going to be easy for any director.  

Rakesh turned producer by launching his home banner, Filmkraft. After initial hiccups, the production house delivered successful films like ‘Kaamchor’ and ‘Shubh Kaamna’. The veteran took yet another plunge and became a director with ‘Khudgarz’. As a director, he was known for massy dramas like ‘Khoon Bhari Maang’, ‘Kishen Kanhaiya’
Karan Arjun’ and ‘Koyla’  
He shifted his focus to direction from 1990 to 1999 and launched his son Hrithik Roshan with ‘Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai’ He wrote, directed, and produced the cult classic. Rakesh enjoyed a fantastic career as a director. After the success of ‘Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai’, he directed Hrithik Roshan in superhero film ‘Koi… Mil Gaya’, its sequel ‘Krrish’ and ‘Krrish 3’
It was a successful franchise. ‘Krrish 4’ is also in the making. Rakesh’s last production was ‘Kaabil’, headlined by his son Hrithik and Yami Gautam.
