Context
Why does this story matter?
For years, we have been hearing countless rumors about Krrish's fourth installment. However, the film never took off!
For those unaware, Krrish 3, starring Hrithik Roshan, was released back in 2013.
Ever since the news of Krrish 4 started doing rounds, fans have been discussing all theories about the franchise's continuation, including the concept of time travel and an epic Hrithik v/s Hrithik face-off.
Statement

In a recent conversation with ETimes, Roshan reportedly laughed off the rumors of Anand stepping into the franchise.
The filmmaker stated, "This is the first time I am hearing about this."
The report quoted a source close to the Krrish franchise as saying, "It is very insulting to Rakesh and Hrithik Roshan to presume anyone except Rakesh Roshan would direct the next Krrish film."

Further quoting the source, the ETimes report stated, "The Roshans are now working on cracking a plot for Krrish 4."
