After the blockbuster success of Animal (2023), Ranbir Kapoor has captured attention as he begins work on Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. Following that, he will be seen reuniting with his wife Alia Bhatt in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, co-starring Vicky Kaushal. However, fans are most excited about the possibility of Ranbir taking on a new challenge—headlining Dhoom 4, the much-awaited next installment of the iconic Dhoom franchise.
According to reports, Ranbir might lead the Dhoom series forward, but long-time franchise characters Jai and Ali, played by Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra, are not expected to return. Social media buzz also suggests that Shraddha Kapoor, fresh off her success with Stree 2, may be cast as Ranbir’s co-star in this action-packed thriller.
The Dhoom series is a beloved Bollywood franchise known for its high-energy action, stylish characters, and thrilling heist plots. The previous films saw leading men like John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan, and Aamir Khan, so anticipation for Dhoom 4 is sky-high. The potential pairing of Ranbir and Shraddha has only added to the excitement, especially given their chemistry in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar earlier this year.

Ranbir’s possible involvement in Dhoom 4 is particularly intriguing due to his diverse filmography, which includes everything from romantic leads to intense, complex characters. Shraddha Kapoor, known for her action roles in films like Baaghi and Saaho, seems like a fitting match for the high-octane Dhoom universe. Fans are eager to see if the duo can recreate the magic they displayed in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar in a completely new action-packed avatar.
Director Aditya Chopra reportedly plans to reinvent the Dhoom series with fresh ideas while maintaining its core theme of cops chasing high-tech criminals. With Dhoom 4 set to begin filming in 2026, after Ranbir finishes his work on Ramayana and Love & War, this project will mark a milestone as his 25th film.
