Dhoom 4: Ranbir Kapoor to don a never-seen-before look, makers currently looking to lock two female leads and an antagonist

Ranbir Kapoor is now the leading man of Dhoom 4. A source told Pinkvilla on RK’s birthday last year, “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.”

The source added, “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.”

And now, a source close to the developments shared with India Today, “Kapoor will need to have a different look for Dhoom 4 and before starting that, he will wrap up his two existing projects. Dhoom 4 is expected to go on floors next April. The production team is currently looking to lock two female leads and an antagonist for the film. Key contenders to play the antagonist in the film are being considered from the South."

Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal, which turned out to be one of the biggest grossers in the history of Indian cinema, garnered criticism from a section of audience along with celebs like Javed Akhtar, Swanand Kirkire, Kangana and others.

Now, the lead star has finally opened up about the criticism and said that some people were disappointed of him. “Social media played havoc. They need something to talk about, so they really went to town claiming it was a misogynistic film. What happens is that the hard work that you put in… I know the director had made Kabir Singh, which also faced the same thing, the hard work gets diminished."
