Rakesh Roshan Drops Update on ‘Krrish 4’?

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Rakesh Roshan revealed that the script of Krrish 4 was finished quickly, but it was the budgeting issues that caused the delay. He said, "Now that we have a definite idea of the budget required for the film, we'll be starting the film. The work is going on all on full swing. We are going to start the shoot of the film by the middle of next year. This is because the pre-production is much more extensive in the film. Hence, we have to be prepared before we go on floors."
