The Dhoom franchise, known for revolutionizing the action-thriller genre in Indian cinema, is finally gearing up for its fourth installment. After captivating audiences with high-octane bike chases and sleek action sequences, the iconic series is all set to return—with some exciting new updates.
Since Dhoom 3 released on the silver screens in 2013, audiences have been waiting in anticipation for a sequel. Now, more than a decade after, new buzz only confirms Dhoom 4 is indeed on the cards. Industry sources reveal that director Ayan Mukerji has been on board to direct this highly anticipated venture under Yash Raj Films banner.
Ayan Mukerji, who is currently directing War 2 featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, was originally supposed to start work on Brahmastra 2. But now reports indicate that since producer Karan Johar reportedly raised costs, Ayan has diverted his attention to Dhoom 4.
To add to the thrill, Ranbir Kapoor is reportedly finalized as the protagonist. His intimate working with Ayan Mukerji and the crushing success of Animal have catapulted him to being one of the most sought-after stars in the industry now. Interestingly, it has been revealed by insiders that Ranbir approved the film even before listening to the full script—solely because of his faith in Ayan’s concept.
If this casting scoop is officially announced, it would be Ranbir’s entry into one of Bollywood’s most iconic action franchises. With his present momentum and fan mania, the announcement of Dhoom 4 is bound to generate a huge buzz throughout the nation.
But prior to gearing up to the Dhoom universe, Ayan Mukerji has something to prove with War 2. Although the teaser for Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR generated harsh responses, which also received some criticism, this adds more pressure on Ayan to provide a blemish-free, high-stakes film.
War 2 will serve as a critical stepping stone for Ayan as he prepares to take on a legacy like Dhoom. Expectations are sky-high, and the director will need to rise above the challenges to reassert his creative prowess.
As fans eagerly await official announcements, one thing is clear: Dhoom 4 is not just a sequel—it’s the revival of a cult action saga that redefined commercial cinema in India.
