As a lifestyle connoisseur, I find myself reminiscing about the exhilarating journey that began in 2004 with the launch of the Dhoom action-thriller series. The first installment, a captivating movie, set the stage for the dynamic duo – ACP Jai Dixit and Ali, played by Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra respectively. In this sleek and chic production, John Abraham brought the character of Kabir Sharma to life, a charismatic figure who, along with his motorcycle gang, caused quite a stir in Mumbai with their daring robberies. The audience was captivated by John’s compelling portrayal in this film.
