Rajat Bedi Not Cast in Krrish 4

Speculation about actor Rajat Bedi being cast as the villain in Krrish 4 circulated since October 2025. However, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan has firmly debunked these rumors.

Clarification from Rakesh Roshan

When contacted by Hindustan Times, the veteran director stated, “The news of Rajat Bedi acting in Krrish 4 is all false. There is no truth to any rumors.” This clarification comes amidst heightened interest in Bedi, who recently made his acting comeback with The Ba***ds of Bollywood (2025). While he is currently in talks with major studios for future projects, his involvement in Krrish 4 has been confirmed as a non-starter.

Rajat Bedi’s Connection with the Roshan Family

Rajat Bedi has a long-standing relationship with the Roshan family, having previously portrayed a significant role in Rakesh Roshan’s Koi… Mil Gaya (2003), which laid the groundwork for the Krrish franchise.

Hrithik Roshan’s Directorial Debut

Meanwhile, Krrish 4 continues to generate buzz for an exciting reason: it marks Hrithik Roshan’s directorial debut. The previous films in the superhero series were directed by his father, Rakesh Roshan. In a heartfelt Instagram announcement made in March 2025, Rakesh Roshan shared, “Duggu, 25 years back I launched you as an actor, and today again after 25 years you are being launched as a director. I wish you all the success in this new avatar!”

Krrish 4’s Production Timeline

Currently in pre-production, Krrish 4 is slated to begin filming in early 2026. Hrithik Roshan will reprise his iconic superhero role while also taking on the director’s role for the first time, making this project one of the most anticipated entries in the franchise’s history.
