Actor Ranbir Kapoor might just have signed YRF’s Dhoom 4. At least that’s what the latest buzz in the media suggests. The actor, who’s currently shooting for Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, will hop on to begin the fourth film in Aditya Chopra’s Dhoom franchise next. As per a report published in Pinkvilla, Ranbir has given his final nod to the makers and Chopra is busy providing finishing touches to the script with writer Vijay Krishna Acharya. A source close to the production informed that YRF is looking at completely ‘rebooting’ the entire franchise and Ranbir would play a key role in the same. Apart from Ranbir, the rest of the casting is going to take place soon and no one from the old Dhoom films will be cast in the fourth film.
The report quoted a source as saying, “Dhoom is a franchise dear to Aditya Chopra, and he has decided to reboot the franchise to keep in line with the current times. Like all previous parts, the script of Dhoom 4 (Dhoom Reloaded) has been developed by Aditya Chopra with Vijay Krishna Acharya. The idea and vision is to create a cinematic experience like never before with the fourth Dhoom film.”
While talking about Ranbir’s involvement in the film and how he came onboard, the source said, “The discussions with Ranbir have been going on for the longest time. He had always shown interest in being a part of Dhoom 4 on hearing the basic idea, and is now finally confirmed to lead the franchise. Adi Chopra feels that RK is the ideal choice to carry forward the Dhoom legacy.”
