On the occasion of Ranbir Kapoor’s 42nd birthday, new reports have surfaced, suggesting that the actor has been cast to lead Dhoom 4, the next installment in the popular action franchise. According to the latest buzz, Dhoom 4—tentatively titled Dhoom Reloaded—will see Ranbir Kapoor take the legacy of the Dhoom series forward. However, this news has triggered mixed reactions on social media, with many fans expressing excitement while others are not so thrilled.
Ranbir Kapoor to Headline Dhoom 4
Speculation about the casting for Dhoom 4 has been ongoing for months, with rumors initially pointing towards both Ranbir Kapoor and Shah Rukh Khan as contenders for the role of the antagonist. On Ranbir’s birthday, reports surfaced suggesting that the Animal actor has indeed been finalized for the lead role in the film, sparking widespread discussion online.
While Ranbir’s fans celebrated the announcement, many netizens expressed disappointment, particularly over the exclusion of Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra, who had become iconic as ACP Jai Dixit and Sub-Inspector Ali Akbar Fateh Khan in the first three films of the Dhoom series. Their absence has raised concerns about whether Ranbir will be able to uphold the action-packed legacy of the franchise.
Social Media Reactions: ‘Flop Guarantee’
Following the news, social media platforms were flooded with reactions. Many users voiced their concerns, predicting that Dhoom 4 might be a disappointment. One user commented, “It will be a flop guarantee 🤡,” while another sarcastically added, “Relax guys! They want to flop the movie 😌.” Some also compared the upcoming film to the underwhelming reception of Dhoom 3, with one netizen remarking, “Isko bhi barbaad kar do, jaise Dhoom 3 kari thi.”
Others expressed disappointment in the decision to exclude Abhishek and Uday from the cast. “This film belongs to Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra only,” one fan lamented. Some netizens even suggested alternative casting choices, including stars like Hrithik Roshan and John Abraham, both of whom had previously appeared in the franchise. “Bad decision. They could’ve casted Hrithik and John. YRF has the budget,” said one commenter.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Career Trajectory
If confirmed, Dhoom 4 will add to Ranbir Kapoor’s growing list of high-profile projects. After the success of his 2023 release Animal, Ranbir is currently busy filming for Nitesh Tiwari’s highly anticipated Ramayana. He will also be seen alongside Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, further solidifying his position as one of Bollywood’s most versatile actors.
As fans eagerly await official confirmation, one thing is clear—Dhoom 4 has already sparked significant interest and debate. Whether Ranbir Kapoor can live up to the legacy of the Dhoom franchise remains to be seen.
