Ranbir Kapoor is set to be part of the Dhoom franchise as the actor has reportedly been signed for the upcoming instalment of the film. The news, coinciding with Ranbir’s 42nd birthday today, has triggered a buzz amongst Bollywood buffs. According to a report by Pinkvilla, the actor has been roped in for the much-anticipated fourth instalment of the Dhoom film series. The upcoming movie of the YRF banner is reportedly in the pre-production stage and is being overseen by Aditya Chopra.
As Ranbir gears up to play the villain in Dhoom 4, here’s a look at the other iconic antagonists of the beloved Yash Raj Films franchise.
John Abraham, Dhoom (2004)
The first film of the Dhoom franchise was released 20 years ago. While Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra played the good cops, A.C.P. Jay Dixit and Ali, John Abraham laid the archetype for the franchise’s unique villains.
He led a gang of motorbike robbers who carried out a series of thefts across Mumbai.
The actor even received a nomination at the 50th Filmfare Awards for the Best Villain awards. John bagged the Best Villain awards at the 6th IIFA Awards and Zee Cine Awards
Hrithik Roshan, Dhoom 2 (2006)
Hrithik Roshan took things forward from where John had left. Hrithik’s impeccable acting and stunts in Dhoom 2 are still afresh in fresh in fans’ minds. Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra reprised their role in the 2006 film. Hrithik portrayed Aryan Singhania, aka Mr A, who would steal valuable artefacts from various places. Hrithik teamed up with Aishwarya Rai’s character, Sunheri, for all the robberies.
Aamir Khan, Dhoom 3 (2013)
In this 2013 film, Aamir played the dual roles of Sahir Khan and Samar Khan, who continued playing the chasing game with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra’s characters. Dhoom 3 has a different storyline than the other two films, as Aamir’s character robs branches of the Western Bank of Chicago in revenge.
Ranbir Kapoor, Dhoom 4
According to a Pinkvilla report, Aditya Chopra is considering rebooting the story for modern audiences. According to the report, none of the old cast members will reprise their roles in the upcoming Dhoom film.
“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,” a source close to the development told the portal.
