Nawazuddin Siddiqui has denied rumours of being a part of Krrish 4. Earlier reports claimed the actor was approached to play the new adversary in the superhero franchise. “This is the first time I am hearing about it. There's no truth to it,” Nawaz said at an event in Mumbai.

Directed by Rakesh Roshan, Krrish 4 is scheduled to release on Christmas, 2020. The film will witness Hrithik Roshan reprising his cloaked superhero avatar. Previous instalments in the series include Koi… Mil Gaya, Krrish and Krrish 3. Naseeruddin Shah and Vivek Oberoi had played the main antagonist in the last two entries.

Hrithik Roshan was last seen in Kaabil (2017). He plays the role of mathematician Anand Kumar in his upcoming biopic, Super 30. Nawazuddin Siddiqui recently wrapped the shoot of Honey Trehan directorial debut film Raat Akeli Hai. His upcoming release is Sacred Games 2 on Netflix. Rakesh Roshan underwent surgery for squamous cell carcinoma in January. The veteran actor-filmmaker turns 70 this year.
