YRF’s Dhoom is all set to return! Reports suggest that while Dhoom 4 is indeed in works with Ranbir Kapoor being roped in as the lead. But the bad news is that it will not feature the franchise regulars Abhishek Bachchan as Inspector Jay and Uday Chopra as his sidekick Ali.
In a recent report published by Pinkvilla, “Dhoom is a franchise dear to Aditya Chopra, and he has decided to reboot the franchise keeping in line with the current times. Like all previous parts, the script of Dhoom 4 (Dhoom Reloaded) is been developed by Aditya Chopra with Vijay Krishna Acharya. The idea and vision is to create a cinematic experience like never before with the fourth Dhoom film.”
“The discussions with Ranbir have been going on for the longest time. He had always shown interest to be a part of Dhoom 4 on 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,” the source added.
While Ranbir Kapoor will play the villain in Dhoom 4, none of the original actors will reprise their roles since it’s a complete reboot. A source revealed that “Two big heroes from the younger generation will come on board to play the duo of cop buddies in Dhoom 4. Now that the core story-board is locked, the team will proceed to the casting stage. Dhoom 4 will not just be the biggest Dhoom film, but also a tentpole feature film of global standard from Indian Cinema”.
Ranbir is now busy shooting for Nitesh Tiwari’s much-awaited Ramayana. The actor will also join his wife Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love And War.
