Hrithik Roshan said that although he is still working to better his craft as an actor, he feels he is “a filmmaker deep inside." Speaking about taking on the new role as director for Krrish 4, the actor said, “I don't know what to say, but I am afraid and nervous. I feel like I’m back in kindergarten. It seems I have to grow up in a whole different way all over again."

He added, "It’s going to be a new challenge — uncertainties, seeking, searching. I’m sure there will be moments where I feel like I’ve made the worst decision ever. And in my alone moments — the moments when I feel fear — I will remember you all, and I will remember the love. So I need your blessings."

While in New York for the event, the actor also revealed that he met his Krrish co-star, Priyanka Chopra and her husband, Nick Jonas. Their meeting has sparked fan speculation about whether it was connected to the upcoming fourth chapter of the Krrish franchise.
