Ranbir Kapoor To Lead Dhoom 4; Abhishek Bachchan And Uday Chopra Won't Return: Report

Ranbir Kapoor is all set to play the antagonist in Dhoom 4. Aditya Chopra worked with John Abraham, Abhishek Bachchan, and Uday Chopra in the 2004 film Dhoom. Sanjay Gadhvi directed it. Dhoom brought a fresh style of storytelling to Indian action cinema. It was appealing to the audience watching the movie across the country. John Abraham portrayed a morally ambiguous character, which became iconic. He made a grey role look more appealing on screen. In, 2006, Dhoom 2 was released. Hrithik Roshan takes on the antagonist role and raises the bar to the next level. The franchise grew wider when Aamir Khan joined hands for Dhoom 3 in 2013. Since that time, speculation about the casting of Dhoom 4 has been ongoing.
