Bollywood’s evergreen heartthrob Hrithik Roshan celebrated his 52nd birthday amid an overwhelming wave of love from family, friends, industry colleagues and millions of fans. While the actor has lately offered rare glimpses into his personal life, this year’s birthday chatter centred on something far bigger — Krrish 4.

When Krrish first took flight in 2006, with Hrithik donning the iconic black mask and trench coat, it redefined the superhero genre in Indian cinema. The 2013 sequel carried the legacy forward. Now, over a decade later, the announcement of Krrish 4 has reignited excitement — especially as Hrithik is set to not only reprise his beloved role but also make his directorial debut with the franchise.
Fueling speculation further, Hrithik shared a powerful workout video on his HRX handle. The clip showed him pushing through intense gym routines — lifting heavy weights and cycling hard — before transitioning into a still of him as Krrish. For fans, the message seemed unmistakable: the superhero is gearing up for a comeback.
The video quickly sent social media into a frenzy, with many convinced that Krrish 4 is moving steadily into preparation mode. To fans, the birthday post felt less like a coincidence and more like a deliberate hint at what’s coming next.
Another video of Hrithik also grabbed attention, where he extended New Year wishes alongside a thoughtful message about everyday heroes. He spoke about parents, teachers and caregivers — people who quietly show up and “save the day” without wearing capes. Adding intrigue, a slow camera pan revealed the iconic Krrish mask resting behind him, subtly reinforcing speculation around the film.
Krrish 4 will be produced in association with Yash Raj Films. Addressing the underperformance of his recent YRF release War 2, Hrithik displayed refreshing honesty at a Dubai event, saying, “My film just bombed at the box office, so it feels very good to get all the love.” His candid remark only deepened fan respect.
