Ranbir Kapoor is set to star in Dhoom 4, which has officially entered the pre-production stage at YRF under the guidance of Aditya Chopra, according to a report in Pinkvilla. The Dhoom franchise began in 2004 with Aditya Chopra joining hands with John Abraham, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra on the Sanjay Gadhvi-directed film. It introduced a fresh storytelling style in the action genre, with John portraying a cool grey character.

A source revealed that Aditya Chopra, who holds the franchise close, plans to reboot it for modern audiences. He is working on the script alongside Vijay Krishna Acharya to deliver a unique cinematic experience.
According to the insider, discussions with Ranbir have been in progress for some time, and he has shown keen interest in joining the franchise. Aditya Chopra believes Ranbir is the perfect choice to carry on the Dhoom legacy. The source told the portal, “Dhoom is a franchise dear to Aditya Chopra, and he has decided to reboot the franchise keeping in line with the current times.
Like all previous parts, the script of Dhoom 4 (Dhoom Reloaded) is 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.” Talking about Ranbir Kapoo.
