The film is expected to begin shooting by late 2025 or early 2026.
The highly anticipated Dhoom 4 has officially entered pre-production under the guidance of Aditya Chopra at Yash Raj Films (YRF).
Known for revolutionising the action genre in Indian cinema, the Dhoom franchise has continually evolved since its inception in 2004 with the original film featuring John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan.
According to Indian media the latest instalment, subtitled “Dhoom Reloaded,” will feature Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role, marking a significant shift for the series.
Ranbir, who has long expressed interest in the project, is set to portray the antagonist. “The discussions with Ranbir have been going on for the longest time. He had always shown interest to be 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,” a source close to the development stated.
This reboot will not include any of the original cast members, instead introducing two prominent heroes from the younger generation as cop buddies. With the core story now locked, the team is set to move into the casting phase.
According to sources Dhoom 4 aims to deliver not only the biggest entry in the franchise but also a tentpole feature that meets global standards for Indian cinema.
The script, developed by Chopra alongside Vijay Krishna Acharya, seeks to provide a cinematic experience unlike any other.
Yash Raj Films (YRF) plans to finalise a director by mid-2025, who will then collaborate with the team on an extensive recce and pre-production process. The film is expected to begin shooting by late 2025 or early 2026.
Dhoom 4 is set to be a milestone in Ranbir Kapoor’s career, marking his 25th film.
The actor is eager to make this silver jubilee project truly special.
