Amidst talks of his forthcoming projects post Kaabil, there were only speculations about taking ahead the Krrish franchise. Soon, there were reports of the actor signing couple of films like one with Kabir Khan as well as him playing a mathematician. The latest film to be added on the list is a sports film.

Although there haven t been many details on the same, we hear that the film will revolve around the subject of kabaddi.

While kabaddi as a sports genre hasn t been explored in films before, it will also be Hrithik Roshan s first sports film.

The other details like director and the rest of the cast are yet to be finalized.
