Ranbir Kapoor Locked To Headline YRF's Action Thriller 'Dhoom 4'

Mumbai, September 28 - Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor has reportedly been locked to headline Yash Raj Films' hugely anticipated action thriller Dhoom 4. The movie was officially announced many moons back and it is finally moving ahead with the pre-production stage.

According to a report by Pinkvilla, the 4th instalment of the blockbuster franchise has entered the pre-production stage now at YRF under the supervision of Aditya Chopra. Ranbir Kapoor, who is riding on the monstrous success of Animal, is the newest addition to headline the franchise.



"The discussions with Ranbir have been going on for the longest time. He had always shown interest in being 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", says the report.

Ranbir will play the anti-hero and it is said that none of the original cast will return as Dhoom 4 is a reboot in the literal sense. In the previous three films, John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan, and Aamir Khan took on the negative roles, respectively, which has been a driving force of the Dhoom franchise.

Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra have been a part of each Dhoom movie as cop buddies but Dhoom 4 will feature two big heroes from the younger generation to replace them. The core story has been locked and YRF will proceed to the casting stage. Interestingly, it was recently reported that Tamil star Suriya was in talks to come on board Dhoom 4, but the same hasn't been confirmed by reliable sources.

The director of Dhoom 4 is yet to be locked as YRF is looking to start shooting by the end of 2025 or early 2026, once Ranbir Kapoor wraps up shooting for Love & War and Ramayana 1 & 2.
