In a recent interview with India Today, Rakesh Roshan candidly explained the reason behind not kicking off work on the sequel. While Krrish 4 was announced much earlier, the film has been experiencing quite a bit of delay. Speaking about the same, the Koi Mil Gaya filmmaker said, “What is happening is that the audience is still not coming back to the theatres, so that is a big question mark for me. Krrish is going to be a big film. The world has become smaller and kids today are used to seeing Hollywood superhero films that are made on budgets of like $500-600 million. Meanwhile, we have a small budget of Rs. 200-300 crore in comparison.”

Rakesh Roshan continued to speak about the pressure of maintaining high VFX quality as he added, “How to give that look to the film? I can, of course, decide to have four action sequences instead of 10, but that action has to match up with the quality. The VFX quality needs to be good. We are seeing how the budget and production costs can all be maintained. Big films that are released these days are not doing so well... We are absolutely ready to take the step forward. However, looking at the situation today where films are not doing well and collections are not matching the production costs, we are not immediately looking at it. It is going to happen, but not for a year. Probably after that.”
