Priyanka Chopra Jonas Returns as Female Lead in Hrithik Roshan's Krrish 4

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is officially back in Bollywood as the female lead in Hrithik Roshan's highly anticipated superhero sequel Krrish 4. After her previous roles in Krrish and Krrish 3, Priyanka is set to reprise her iconic role as Priya Mehra, reuniting with Hrithik Roshan, who is not only starring but also making his directorial debut with this film. The news has been confirmed by multiple sources, including Pinkvilla and Bollywood Hungama, sparking excitement among fans.

The film is a major milestone for both stars. Hrithik Roshan is taking on the challenge of directing Krrish 4, a first for him, while Priyanka's return marks her comeback to Indian cinema after a significant stint in Hollywood. The project is co-produced by Yash Raj Films and Rakesh Roshan, and pre-production is in full swing at YRF, with a VFX team working on pre-visualization. The film is expected to go on floors in the first quarter of 2026, aiming for a grand release in 2026-27.

Priyanka's return is seen as a "no-brainer" by insiders, given her strong on-screen chemistry with Hrithik and her previous success in the franchise. The story is expected to continue the journey of the characters from Koi Mil Gaya to Krrish 3, with a fresh, high-octane narrative. The film will also feature other returning cast members like Rekha and Preity Zinta, adding more star power and continuity to the series.

Trade analysts predict Krrish 4 will be a major box office event, given the star power, the return of beloved characters, and the high production values. Priyanka's comeback, combined with Hrithik's new role as director, is generating significant buzz, making this one of the most anticipated Indian films of 2026.
