Ranbir Kapoor, one of Bollywood's top actors, is reportedly stepping into the franchise as the new antagonist. Sources reveal that discussions between Kapoor and Yash Raj Films (YRF) have been ongoing for some time, with the actor showing interest in joining the popular series. After finalizing concepts and ideas, the team has officially brought Kapoor on board.

'Dhoom 4', now in pre-production, will be a complete reboot, with none of the original actors returning. Aditya Chopra, who holds the franchise close to his heart, is overseeing the project alongside Vijay Krishna Acharya, aiming to modernize the series and deliver a fresh, groundbreaking cinematic experience.

Filming is expected to begin by late 2025 or early 2026, once Ranbir completes his current commitments, including 'Love And War' and 'Ramayana'. Fans can expect an entirely new cast for the cop duo roles, bringing a fresh dynamic to the series. The return of the 'Dhoom' franchise is sure to generate excitement as details unfold.
