Fresh speculation has emerged around the future of Dhoom 4, with reports claiming that Ranbir Kapoor is no longer attached to the highly anticipated action franchise. According to industry buzz circulating online, the actor has reportedly opted out of the project after being unconvinced by the current version of the script.
While there has been widespread excitement about the possibility of Ranbir Kapoor leading the next installment of the Dhoom franchise, neither the actor nor Yash Raj Films (YRF) has officially confirmed his involvement. The latest reports suggest that creative differences over the screenplay may have led to his decision to step away from the project.
The reports further claim that YRF chief Aditya Chopra is now looking to completely reboot the Dhoom franchise with a fresh cast. Instead of continuing with previously rumored plans, the studio is reportedly exploring a new direction for the popular action series, which has delivered blockbuster hits since its debut in 2004.
Another claim doing the rounds is that filmmaker Ayan Mukerji is no longer being considered to direct Dhoom 4. According to the rumors, YRF has decided to move in a different creative direction following the performance of War 2. However, it is important to note that there has been no official statement from YRF or Ayan Mukerji regarding these reports.
Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor is said to be focusing on selecting his future projects. Industry insiders suggest that the actor has been meeting several filmmakers and writers to finalize his upcoming slate of films. Ranbir already has an exciting lineup, including Love & War alongside Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, as well as Ramayana, making his schedule one of the busiest in Bollywood.
The Dhoom franchise remains one of Bollywood's most successful action series, with previous installments starring John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan, and Aamir Khan as charismatic antagonists. Fans have been eagerly awaiting official updates on the fourth film, but YRF has remained tight-lipped about its casting, director, and production timeline.
Until an official announcement is made by Yash Raj Films, all reports regarding Ranbir Kapoor's exit, the reboot plans, and changes in the directorial team should be treated as speculation rather than confirmed developments.
