Ranbir Kapoor turned 42 on September 28, and fans have an exciting reason to celebrate he is officially joining Yash Raj Films’ Dhoom 4. According to reports, Ranbir has been confirmed as the lead for the fourth installment of the Dhoom franchise, with pre-production already underway. This development is a major surprise for fans of both the actor and the high-octane action series.
A source close to the project shared that Aditya Chopra, the mastermind behind YRF, is personally involved in rebooting the franchise to align with contemporary trends. Tentatively titled Dhoom Reloaded, the script is being developed by Aditya Chopra and Vijay Krishna Acharya, the director of the previous Dhoom films. The vision for this installment is to offer a cinematic experience like never before, making it a global spectacle from Indian cinema.
Ranbir Kapoor’s involvement in Dhoom 4 had been in discussion for a long time, and after expressing interest in the idea, he has finally signed on to lead the project. According to the source, Aditya Chopra always believed that Ranbir would be the perfect actor to carry forward the Dhoom legacy, especially with his potential to play a villain, marking his first negative role in the franchise.
This reboot will not feature any of the original cast members, focusing instead on a fresh story with two new actors from the younger generation taking on the roles of the iconic cop duo. With the core story locked, the team will soon move on to casting. Dhoom 4 is expected to be the biggest film in the franchise yet, with ambitions of setting a global benchmark in Indian action cinema.
Production is slated to begin around late 2025 or early 2026, after Ranbir completes his work on Love and War and Ramayana 1 & 2. Interestingly, Dhoom 4 will mark a milestone in Ranbir Kapoor’s career, being his 25th film. Following this, he will appear in Animal Park, making his upcoming projects some of the most highly anticipated films of the decade.
Ranbir’s involvement in Dhoom 4 has already set high expectations, and fans are eagerly awaiting further updates on the casting and development of the film.
