Ranbir Kapoor Reportedly Exits Dhoom 4 as YRF Looks for a New Lead

Ranbir Kapoor Reportedly Exits Dhoom 4: It appears that Ranbir Kapoor has backed out of Dhoom 4, adding another layer of confusion to an already awaited film in Bollywood. While the actor was rumored to star in the next installment of the Dhoom franchise, the latest reports indicate that he will not have any involvement with the film. That said, industry insiders have confirmed that the movie is in the developmental stage at the moment and no casting has been finalized yet.

Ranbir Kapoor Not Part of Dhoom 4

As per the latest reports, Ranbir Kapoor had been in talks to portray the villain in Dhoom 4. While Ayan Mukerji was supposed to direct the movie, it is being suggested that something changed after the release of War 2. According to reports, Aditya Chopra opted to follow a new path for the movie.

While the actor was part of the discussions at the very beginning, he eventually backed out of Dhoom 4 after a number of discussions. The reason being cited is the actor’s inability to accept the screenplay as his first preference, while casting films has always been the story and the script.

Script Still Under Development

Despite reports of Ranbir Kapoor leaving the film, there have been several trade insights that paint an altogether different picture. According to them, the script of Dhoom 4 is yet to be written and finalized, and there has been no actor officially appointed to the film.

This implies that Yash Raj Films (YRF) still have not made up their minds about the casting of the film, and they may look out for more actors after finishing the screenplay. Thus, the fate of the film still remains uncertain.

YRF May Cast the Franchise Again

In case the reports turn out to be true, then YRF would now have to cast a new face for their legendary franchise. The Dhoom film series has seen actors like John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan, and Aamir Khan as its villains.

Ranbir Kapoor’s Upcoming Projects

At the same time, Ranbir Kapoor has got a hectic schedule of film releases ahead. The eagerly awaited movie ‘Ramayana’ is set to be released during the Diwali season. Soon after that, fans will catch Ranbir Kapoor in the movie ‘Love & War,’ which is set to release on the occasion of Republic Day 2027.

Conclusion

Though news reports have it that Ranbir Kapoor has dropped the idea of acting in Dhoom 4, there has not been any official statement from Ranbir Kapoor or Yash Raj Films in this regard. With the script not finalized yet, it will take some time for an official statement regarding the casting of the movie.
