Global icon Priyanka Chopra is making a grand return to Bollywood after years of focusing on her Hollywood career. With two major projects now lined up - SSMB29 opposite Mahesh Babu and Krrish 4 with Hrithik Roshan (according to reports) - Priyanka is once again reclaiming her space as one of the highest-paid actresses in the country.
According to a report in Siasat Daily, Priyanka is reportedly being paid Rs 30 crore for her role in SSMB29. For Krrish 4, her remuneration is expected to fall in the Rs 20-30 crore range as well.
However, there's also speculation that Priyanka may opt for a profit-sharing model instead of a fixed fee, a strategy often adopted by top-tier stars for big-budget projects.
Meanwhile, according to media reports, Priyanka was 'bowled over' by Hrithik Roshan's ambitious vision for Krrish 4, and signed on to the film soon after their initial discussions.
A report by Pinkvilla stated, "The actress was ecstatic to see Hrithik take on the challenges of directing the film and was thrilled by the scale and story of the next chapter in the franchise."
This marks a significant moment for fans of the Krrish series, as Priyanka and Hrithik’s onscreen chemistry has always been a fan favorite. Her return has added further excitement around the film, which is set to feature cutting-edge VFX, a powerful storyline, and even the much-loved alien character, Jadoo, who is reportedly making a comeback.
Krrish 4 will also be Hrithik's directorial debut, as confirmed by his father, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, on March 28. Having previously directed the Krrish trilogy, Rakesh Roshan has now officially handed over the reins to his son.
The shoot for Krrish 4 is expected to begin in early 2026, giving the team ample time to fine-tune the screenplay, prep the VFX-heavy sequences, and lock in the rest of the star cast.
