More than ten years after the release of Dhoom 3, producer Aditya Chopra is preparing to resurrect the critically acclaimed Dhoom trilogy for a fourth iteration. The movie, which is titled Dhoom 4, is slated to begin production in April 2026, with Ranbir Kapoor playing the lead role. This project marks a change in direction for the action franchise, which began in 2004.

Aditya Chopra and Shridhar Raghavan collaborated

Chopra is collaborating with Shridhar Raghavan on the screenplay, according to Pinkvilla. In addition to the leader of the YRF, the brilliant screenwriter, who has worked for YRF's Pathaan and War, is creating a story that will be different from the YRF Spy Universe.

According to a source who spoke to the entertainment website, Chopra and Raghavan have worked together extensively on the screenplay and plot of Dhoom 4. With Dhoom 4, they are now developing a tale outline that is deserving of the excitement surrounding the reboot.

The protagonist is played by Ranbir Kapoor

Kapoor, who is now working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War, will be the star of the action series. The role is being molded to fit his personality in an attempt to reinvent the movie's aesthetic and narrative tone.

Additionally, the source stated that Kapoor is a good fit for the role in Dhoom 4, which was created with his personality and vitality in mind. The new Dhoom movie is being made with the intention of adhering to international action criteria, in addition to having a vastly different visual palette and storyline from the well-known YRF Spy Universe.

A hectic schedule for Ranbir Kapoor

Kapoor will begin shooting Ramayana 2 and then Dhoom 4 after Love and War concludes. Following the premiere of War 2 on Independence Day 2025, Ayan Mukerji, who is anticipated to assume the helm as director, will begin pre-production.

The producers are aiming for a 2027 release, with filming anticipated to finish by the end of 2026. With Brahmastra 2, Animal Park, and Dhoom 4 all approaching, Kapoor's calendar for the next four years is already quite busy.
