Recently, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan announced Hrithik Roshan's directorial debut with ‘Krrish 4’ as he passed the baton of a franchise that he shaped and nurtured in the past 22 years. The announcement piqued excitement from fans and enhanced anticipation for the superhero franchise.

Hrithik further shared updates on ‘War 2’, as he called Jr. NTR as his favourite co-star. Hrithik said, "My favourite co-star is actually Jr. NTR. I just did War 2 with him and he is amazing. He is brilliant, such a fine teammate. I think we have done something good and I cannot wait for you all to watch it, ‘War 2’, 14th August”.

He also shared an update on the shoot schedule of ‘War 2’, as he said, "I'm extremely proud of this film. There's only one song pending, rest of the film is shot. The song that we will be shooting is with Jr. NTR and I'll go back and finish it. I hope I do well. But this film is going to be bigger and better than part 1, that’s my promise to you. So wish me luck”.

Hrithik was recently injured while rehearsing for the War 2 song due to which the filming of the song was postponed. The film is produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by Ayan Mukerji, and marks the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster ‘War’.

OMG Krrish 4 directed by Hrithik himself?! This is going to be epic! 🚀 The franchise is in good hands. Can't wait to see what vision he brings to our favorite superhero!

I'm cautiously optimistic. Hrithik is an amazing actor but directing is a whole different ball game. Hope he surrounds himself with good technical team. Krrish deserves nothing but the best!

Interesting choice but I hope they don't overdo the VFX. The charm of original Krrish was its heart and story, not just special effects. Hope Hrithik remembers that.

His humility is so endearing! "Good luck to me" - even after 25 years he's still so grounded. That's why we love him ❤️

Jr NTR and Hrithik together in War 2? That's a dream combo right there! The dance battle alone will be worth the ticket price 💃🕺
