**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor has been chosen to play the antagonist in the highly anticipated “Dhoom 4”. This news comes after months of speculation about the casting, which previously saw rumors circulating about South Indian superstar Surya being considered for the role.
“Dhoom,” a popular franchise known for its action-packed sequences and stylish villains, has a history of featuring iconic antagonists played by John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan, and Aamir Khan. While the first two installments were massive hits, “Dhoom 3” starring Aamir Khan received mixed reviews.
“Dhoom 4” marks a significant shift in the franchise, introducing a new type of villain. Ranbir Kapoor is set to play a cyber thief, a role crafted specifically to showcase his unique personality and acting prowess. The film’s storyline has been in development for months, with Ranbir and director Aditya Chopra collaboratively working on the script.
The production is expected to begin in 2025, after Ranbir completes his other commitments. These include “Ramayana,” where he will play Lord Ram, “Brahmastra 2,” a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film with Alia Bhatt, and a film directed by Siddharth Anand.
“Dhoom 4” promises to be a visually spectacular action thriller and has generated immense buzz amongst fans of the franchise. With Ranbir Kapoor stepping into the shoes of the iconic villain, expectations are high for another blockbuster hit.
