It looks like one of Bollywood’s most iconic on-screen pairs might be making a much-anticipated comeback — and this time, it’s for a superhero saga that’s already built a legacy of its own.
Yes, we're talking about Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Hrithik Roshan, and the buzz surrounding their reunion in Krrish 4 is only getting louder.
After a long wait, fans finally got confirmation that Krrish 4, the next chapter in India’s first superhero franchise, is in the works. But the real cherry on top? Reports suggest that Priyanka Chopra Jonas might be returning to reprise her role as Priya, alongside Hrithik Roshan, who’s now stepping into the director’s chair for the first time.
Priyanka + Hrithik = Superhit Pairing
For those who’ve followed the Krrish universe since its inception, Priyanka and Hrithik’s on-screen chemistry is unforgettable. Priyanka first starred opposite Hrithik in Krrish (2006), where she played a crucial role in the origin story of the titular superhero. Their chemistry was widely praised, adding a grounded emotional layer to the otherwise action-packed storyline. She returned in Krrish 3 (2013), which built further on their relationship amidst the rising stakes of the sci-fi world.
So naturally, the idea of bringing Priyanka back for Krrish 4 has fans buzzing with excitement — not just for nostalgia, but for the promise of something even bigger.
Their Recent US Meetup Has Sparked New Rumors
Adding fuel to the fire, Hrithik Roshan was recently spotted hanging out with Priyanka and her husband, singer-actor Nick Jonas, during a visit to the US. At an event in New Jersey, Hrithik shared his excitement about watching Nick Jonas perform in a Broadway production titled The Last Five Years.
Speaking about the experience, Hrithik said:
“Last night I was with Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra. We were watching his Broadway show, which is, by the way, brilliant. He is absolutely amazing! It’s called The Last Five Years. If you haven’t seen it, you must see it. And we were chatting. And he told me he is from New Jersey.”
While this might seem like a casual meetup on the surface, Bollywood insiders have taken it as a subtle hint that professional conversations might also be happening behind the scenes. If Priyanka is indeed on board, her return would mark a full-circle moment in the franchise.
Priyanka Reportedly Excited About Hrithik’s Vision
According to a leading entertainment portal, Priyanka is currently in talks to join Krrish 4 and is excited about Hrithik’s new creative direction — especially since he’s also directing the film this time around.
This will mark Hrithik’s directorial debut, and sources suggest that Priyanka is not only impressed by his vision for the franchise but also eager to collaborate with him again. Given their professional history and personal rapport, her return feels like a natural fit.
However, as of now, no official statement has been made by either Priyanka or the production team. But in true Bollywood fashion, the silence might just be building suspense.
What Do We Know About Krrish 4 So Far?

Wish you all the success in this new avatar with good wishes and blessings!” - The film will pick up where Krrish 3 left off.

Why Priyanka’s Comeback Matters
Priyanka Chopra Jonas is now a true global star — from starring in international series like Quantico to appearing in Hollywood blockbusters like The Matrix Resurrections.
