According to industry sources, Ranbir Kapoor will be seen in a completely new and powerful avatar in Dhoom 4 — one that is said to be tailored to his screen persona. The makers are reportedly giving close attention to his look and character design, ensuring it aligns with the franchise's action-packed legacy while offering something unique.

Described as a major reboot rather than a traditional sequel, Dhoom 4 promises to revamp the franchise for a modern audience. From story to stunts, and music to visuals, every element is being updated to match global standards. Producer Aditya Chopra is developing the script in collaboration with acclaimed writer Sridhar Raghavan.

Insiders suggest that the film’s action sequences will rival those of top-tier international blockbusters.

Production Timeline and Fan Reactions

The film is expected to go on floors in the summer of 2026. Even before the official teaser or trailer release, the anticipation has already gripped fans. Social media is abuzz with excitement, with many declaring, “Now the real Dhoom will begin!”

While Ranbir’s entry has been celebrated, some fans are also calling for Hrithik Roshan’s return to the franchise. His performance in Dhoom 2 continues to be one of the most iconic in Bollywood’s action film history.

With Ranbir Kapoor at the helm and Ayan Mukerji directing, Dhoom 4 promises to deliver a stylish, high-voltage cinematic experience — and possibly redefine the franchise for a whole new generation.
