Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma and Parineeti Chopra in the running for Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish 4? The leading ladies are never repeated in the franchise movies like Dhoom, Welcome and Hera Pheri, and even if they do make an appearance, it is to share the screen space with a new face. In the last Krrish installment, Priyanka Chopra had precious little to do with Kangana Ranaut taking centre stage as a mutant who swaps place with her. This time around, there is going to be a new leading lady for Krrish to woo. And the hunt is on for an actress.

Shraddha Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are just too young to be paired with Hrithik Roshan, so they are out of the running. As are Priyanka and Kangana (for more reasons than one) as they were part of the last installment. An insider reveals, “Director Rakesh Roshan is looking for a new pairing. It won’t be anyone who has been part of the franchise before.” That leaves the field open to Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma and Parineeti Chopra. None of the three actresses have been paired with Hrithik so far.
