The highly anticipated Dhoom 4 has officially entered its pre-production phase under the guidance of Aditya Chopra at Yash Raj Films (YRF). Renowned for revolutionizing the action genre in Indian cinema, the Dhoom franchise has evolved since its debut in 2004, which starred John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan.
According to Indian media reports, the latest installment, subtitled Dhoom Reloaded, will feature Ranbir Kapoor in a lead role, marking a significant shift for the series. In this new chapter, Ranbir is set to portray the antagonist, a role that has been in discussions for quite some time. A source revealed, “The discussions with Ranbir have been going on for the longest time. He had always shown interest in being a part of Dhoom 4 after hearing the basic idea and is now finally confirmed to lead the franchise. Adi Chopra feels that RK is the ideal choice to carry forward the Dhoom legacy.”
This upcoming film will not include any of the original cast members; instead, it will feature a new ensemble with two prominent heroes from the younger generation playing cop buddies. With the core story now locked, the team is ready to move into the casting phase.
Dhoom 4 aims to deliver not only the biggest entry in the franchise but also a tentpole feature that meets global standards for Indian cinema. Additionally, this film will mark a milestone in Ranbir Kapoor’s career as it will be his 25th film.
