Speculation around Krrish 4 has been running wild ever since the film was officially announced — and the latest rumour added another familiar name to the mix. Reports recently claimed that actor Rajat Bedi, riding high on the success of The Ba**ds Of Bollywood*, had been roped in to play the film’s antagonist. But now, that buzz has been firmly shut down.
Rakesh Roshan Breaks His Silence
Putting an end to the chatter, veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan has categorically denied the casting rumours. In a clear statement, he confirmed that Rajat Bedi is not part of Krrish 4 in any capacity. According to him, the reports circulating online are completely baseless and have no truth to them.
The clarification comes amid heightened curiosity around the film, especially since Krrish 4 marks a major milestone — Hrithik Roshan’s first outing as director for the superhero franchise that defined his career.
Why the Rumour Gained Traction
The speculation wasn’t entirely random. Rajat Bedi has been receiving renewed attention after his recent performance, and industry talk suggests he’s currently in discussions with multiple big production houses. That momentum, combined with his past association with the Roshan camp, likely fuelled the assumption that he might be entering the Krrish universe.
However, no official announcement has been made by the actor regarding his next project.
Rajat Bedi’s History With the Roshans
Rajat Bedi has previously worked with Rakesh Roshan in Koi… Mil Gaya (2003), where he played a grey-shaded character alongside Hrithik Roshan, Rekha, and Preity Zinta. Despite earlier reports suggesting he was sidelined during the film’s promotions, Bedi later clarified that he was misquoted and holds no grievances.
In fact, the actor has spoken warmly about Rakesh Roshan in the past, praising his hands-on approach and ability to guide actors by performing scenes himself — something Bedi believes only an actor-director can do effectively.
What’s Next
With casting rumours laid to rest, fans will have to wait for official announcements regarding Krrish 4’s antagonist and supporting cast. The film remains one of the most anticipated Bollywood releases in the pipeline, and every update around it continues to spark excitement.
Final Words
For now, the message is clear — Rajat Bedi is not the villain in Krrish 4. As anticipation builds around Hrithik Roshan’s directorial debut, the makers seem keen to keep details under wraps until the right moment.
