EXCLUSIVE: Ranbir Kapoor to lead Dhoom 4; Aditya Chopra set to reboot India’s biggest franchise in 2025 end

As a die-hard fan of Bollywood, I can’t help but feel a rush of excitement when I hear about the upcoming Dhoom 4. Having grown up watching the thrilling action sequences and the stylish antics of the characters in the first three installments, the prospect of a new chapter in this iconic franchise is nothing short of exhilarating.


In 2004, Aditya Chopra teamed up with John Abraham, Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra, and Sanjay Gadhvi to create Dhoom. This film broke new ground in action storytelling for Indian cinema audiences, and John’s portrayal of a grey character was particularly well-received on the big screen. In 2006, Hrithik Roshan joined the cast as the villain in Dhoom 2, elevating the stakes even further. The franchise expanded in 2013 with Aamir Khan’s addition, and since then, there has been ongoing speculation about who might star in Dhoom 4 both in the media and among fans.

According to exclusive information, YRF Studios has initiated the pre-production phase for Dhoom 4, overseen by Aditya Chopra. Aditya Chopra holds this franchise close to his heart and intends to revitalize it to suit contemporary times. Similar to its predecessors, the script for Dhoom 4 (also known as Dhoom Reloaded) is being written by Aditya Chopra and Vijay Krishna Acharya. The aim is to deliver a cinematic adventure that surpasses all previous Dhoom films, as per our source.

The source also mentioned that Ranbir Kapoor has officially been chosen for the main character in Dhoom 4. After learning about the initial concept, he’s always expressed a desire to join the project. Now, his involvement has been confirmed, and Adi Chopra believes that Ranbir is perfect for continuing the Dhoom series legacy.

In the upcoming movie Dhoom 4, two fresh faces from the younger generation are set to take on the roles of the cop duo, as this is a true reboot of the series. The production team has decided not to bring back any of the original actors. This film promises to be the largest Dhoom production yet and a cinematic milestone, showcasing top-notch quality from Indian cinema.

YRF plans to start production on their upcoming film by late 2025 or early 2026, after Ranbir Kapoor completes shooting for Love and War and Ramayana parts 1 & 2. It’s interesting to note that Dhoom 4 will be the 25th movie of Ranbir Kapoor’s acting career, and he’s eager to make this milestone project memorable. Following Dhoom 4, he will work on Animal Park, ensuring a powerful impact in the current decade with an impressive slate of projects.

By summer 2025, YRF plans to hire a director who will collaborate with the team for an extensive research and pre-production phase, aiming to start filming towards the end of 2025 or early 2026. Intriguingly, YRF intends to produce some of India’s largest films over the next five years, including sequels and new installments such as War 2, Alpha, Mardani 3, Pathaan 2, Tiger vs Pathaan, and Dhoom 4.
