    Kartik Aaryan will reprise the role of Rooh Baba in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3

    Director Anees Bazmee and producer Bhushan Kumar’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is one of the most awaited and biggest films of the year. The third installment of the horror comedy franchise stars Kartik Aaryan, Tripti Dimri, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra, Ashwini Kalsekar, Rajesh Sharma and Manish Wadhwa among others. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is set to release on November 1st, 2024. It is a sequel to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 which was released in 2022 starring Kartik Aaryan as Rooh Baba and Kiara Advani as her love interest.

    The popularity of Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise

    The first part of Bhool Bhulaiyaa was released back in 2007 starring Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Paresh Rawal, Shiney Ahuja, and Ameesha Patel among others. It received critical acclaim and was a major commercial success. The film was directed by noted filmmaker Priyadarshan and produced by T-Series head Bhushan Kumar.

    In 2019, Bhushan Kumar announced the second part of the film titled Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 with Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani as the leads and Anees Bazmee directing the film. The film was postponed and was successfully released on 20 May 2022 to overwhelming response. 2022 was the year when most of the Hindi and Bollywood films were failing at the box office. Whereas, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 received critical acclaim and emerged as one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year. The success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 gave the makers the confidence to come up with the third part of the film.

    Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was announced in March 2023 with Kartik Aaryan reprising the role of Rooh Baba in the film. Following the success of Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal and the craze of Tripti Dimri, the actress was immediately signed to play the female lead in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. In addition, Vidya Balan who essayed the role of Manjulika in the first part of Bhool Bhulaiyaa was announced to reprise the role of Manjulika in the third part of the film.

    Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is a sure-shot successful venture for its makers and cast since the buzz of the film is high. Recently, Stree 2 which is a horror comedy genre emerged as the highest-grossing Hindi film ever beating films like Pathaan, Jawan, and Animal. But Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has to be quite entertaining to survive at the box office since the film is releasing with another big Hindi film.

    Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again

    Rohit Shetty’s film Singham Again is set to release on November 1st, 2024. It’s a direct release between Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. It could have been avoidable but films will surely suffer by coming on the same date. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was originally announced to release in November 2024 while Singham Again was announced to release in August 2024. But Singham Again got postponed to November 2024.

    For now, Singham Again has the upper hand since it is a large-scale film with a star cast of Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, T Shroff, Akshay Kumar, and Ranveer Singh. It is indeed one of the biggest films of the year and it is predicted to emerge as one of the highest-grossing films of the year. But nobody should underestimate Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.

    Recently in an interview, Kartik Aaryan spoke about both the films and mentioned that is normal if two big films are released on the same day especially when it’s the season of holidays and festivals. He also mentioned that the audience would have several options like watching Singham Again or watching a horror comedy genre which as Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 or they can watch both films. He also stated that he would go to see Singham Again.

    However, Singham Again which is made on a massive budget has to earn over 300 crores in Hindi to become a commercial success. Whereas the makers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 would be satisfied if there will earns nearly 200 crores in Hindi.

    Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4

    Producer Bhushan Kumar is quite confident about Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.

    He has already announced the fourth part of the horror comedy franchise titled ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4’. In an interview, Bhushan Kumar revealed his plan to bring the fourth part of the film in the next few years. He confirmed that Anees Bazmee will return to direct the fourth part. Bhushan Kumar also teased that the fourth part may feature the franchise’s original protagonist Akshay Kumar in the lead besides Kartik Aaryan in the second lead. He also said that Vidya Balan and Kiara Advani too might return for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4. The shooting of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 is expected to start in 2026 with a global release in 2027. Anees Bazmee has already started writing Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 will be made on a budget of over 300 crores becoming the most expensive Indian horror comedy film.

    Besides the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise, Bhushan Kumar is trying to build several film franchises. He also owns Ranbir Kapoor and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal franchise. The second part of the Animal film is going to be huge. Bhushan Kumar also owns Ajay Devgn’s drama franchise ‘Raid’ and romance comedy franchise De De Pyaar De’. Raid 2 and De De Pyaar De 2 are coming in 2025.

    Bhushan Kumar today is one of the biggest filmmakers in the Indian Film Industry and one of the most powerful and influential producers. His production, direction, distribution, and song company T- Series is the biggest movie production house in India.

  • Trailer Review: Singham Again Is A Cringe Feast

    The film is slated to be released on 1st November during

    Popular Indian filmmaker Rohit Shetty is returning with another film in 2024. His last film came in 2021 with the Akshay Kumar led Sooryavanshi. His 2024 mega release is Singham Again starring Ajay Devgn in the title role as Bajirao Singham. It is the fifth installment of the Rohit Shetty Universe. The film is set to release worldwide on 1st November.

    The trailer of the film was released recently in a grand way. With an extent of 4.50 minutes is the longest trailer ever for an Indian movie. As was announced earlier and as seen in the trailer, the other two other actors from the Rohit Shetty Universe, Akshay Kumar as Sooryavanshi and Ranveer Singh as Sangram Bhalerao make an extended cameo appearance in the film. Rohit Shetty’s two new entrants from the his Universe, T Shroff and Deepika Padukone are introduced in Singham Again with an extended cameo appearance. Besides Ajay Devgn, Singham Again stars Kareena Kapoor Khan in the female lead and Arjun Kapoor as the main antagonist. The film also stars J Shroff, Ravi Kishan, and Dayanand Shetty in pivotal roles.

    Singham Again Trailer Review

    The trailer of Singham Again is 4.50 minutes which is quite frustrating. Every actor gets a lengthy introduction scene. The trailer is bursting with cringe dialogues and mindless stunt sequences. The entire film has CGI and VFX graphics.

    Singham Again might come as cringe to many. There are too many guest appearances and too many big stars featuring. And it doesn’t end here as one big superstar is set to make a guest appearance in the post-credit scenes of the film.

    Spoiler Alert: Entry of Chulbul Pandey

    It is indeed true. One of the biggest superstars of the nation Salman Khan is confirmed to make a guest appearance in the film. He will star and reprise his role of Chulbul Pandey from the Dabangg film franchise. Chulbul Pandey is the most iconic movie character in India. Rohit Shetty has often expressed his desire to introduce Chulbul Pandey in his Universe and this time he has done the unthinkable. It may be for a minute or two minutes but Salman Khan is confirmed to star as Chulbul Pandey in the post-credits scene of Singham Again.

    Salman Khan’s Dabanng was released in 2010 to widespread critical acclaim. The film emerged as a major commercial success with Dabangg becoming the biggest franchise. Salman Khan’s Dabangg character became an overnight sensation. It is still one of the most iconic characters in the history of Indian Cinema.

    Followed by Dabangg in 2010, Rohit Shetty brought Singham film in 2011. Singham was a remake of a Tamil film of the same name starring Suriya in the lead role. Besides Dabangg, Rohit Shetty’s Singham became another iconic character. And, today Rohit Shetty is combining both the franchise and brining both the iconic characters together.

    According to the sources, Rohit Shetty recently met Salman Khan on the sets of his upcoming film. It was a short discussion where the director seemed to have convinced Salman Khan to do a cameo in his film. Salman who shares a healthy and great equation with Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn could not refuse. The makers of Singham Again are yet to shoot the post-credit scene of Salman Khan with the film releasing in just 20 days.

    Singham Again vs Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3

    Singham Again was earlier scheduled to be released on 15th August 2024 but got postponed due to post-production work. Later, the film was announced to release in November with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was announced to be released in November last year. But now with Singham Again coming in November things have got uglier and this will affect the business of both of the films. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is one of the most awaited films of the year.

    Singham Again is jointly produced by Rohit Shetty, Ajay Devgn, and Jio Studios. Both the films Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 are sure shot superhits. But with Salman Khan making a cameo in Singham Again, the makers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 would be anxious. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has to be a massive entertaining comedy horror film to become a blockbuster.  While Singham Again is a certified blockbuster even if it receives mixed reviews.

    We predict Singham Again to earn over 300 crores in Hindi and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 to earn over 150 crores in Hindi. If released solo, Singham Again has a chance of earning more than 500 crores in Hindi, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will earn over 300 crores in Hindi.

    Singham Again is set to become the highest grossing film for Rohit Shetty by beating the lifetime collection of his previous films ‘Chennai Express’ and ‘Simmba’.

    Singham Again will release on Amazon Prime Video in January 2025.

    After Singham Again, the next film from Rohit Shetty Universe could be Sooryavanshi 2. But before Sooryavanshi 2, Rohit Shetty and his team would be making Golmaal 5.

Salman Khan’s last few films such as T3, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, and Dabangg 3 have underperformed at the box office. Despite the setback, he is paid more than 100 crores for Sikander since he has a massive fan following in India and he can certainly deliver a big blockbuster in no time.

Karan Johar seems to be waiting for the right time to announce his biggest film to date. Salman Khan can co-produce the film as well and he might earn over 120 crores for his acting work in The Bull.

    Salman Khan will soon return to host the upcoming season of Bigg Boss 2024. Besides he has quite an astonishing film lineup to follow.

  • Bollywood Stars Who Should Do More Films

    Note: These actors have not quit the film industry.

    Bollywood or the entire Indian film industry is a strange place to be. Not everyone can sustain their career like Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, and Ajay Devgn who have managed to stay relevant in the industry for the past few decades. Especially Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan. But just like Sunny Deol who has made a rocking comeback in films. Here are a few actors who should make a comeback in movies and the audience will surely love to have them back. They just need one good film and that’s it.

    [ez-toc]

    Aamir Khan

    Actors Who Need To Make A Comeback In Movies (1)

    Aamir Khan is a living legend of the Indian film industry. He is practically not missing from films. His last movie came in 2022 with Laal Singh Chaddha. But it has been a decade since he starred in a good movie and delivered a blockbuster. His previous successful film came in 2016 with Dangal. He has featured and delivered some of the best and most successful films ever. But presently he is a bit underconfident.

    Following the disappointment of Thugs of Hindustan (2018) and Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), Aamir Khan even thought of retiring from the film industry. But after seeing the comeback of Sunny Deol and Shahrukh Khan in 2023, Aamir is assured of making a comeback. He will be seen next in a sports drama film titled ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ which is scheduled to release in December 2024 or early 2025. It is the comeback film of Aamir Khan.

    Anushka Sharma

    Before her wedding to star cricketer Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma was considered one of the biggest and most successful actresses ever. She is one of the rare actresses who has worked with all three major superstars and Khans of India, Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, and Aamir Khan. She was one of the leading actresses of Bollywood for a decade but her last film came in 2018.

    Anushka Sharma took a major hiatus from films after her wedding to Virat Kohli. The actress decided to focus on her private life with her husband and kids. But surely her fans and the audience are awaiting to witness her on big screens once again. Anushka Sharma was supposed to make a comeback with a sports biopic film on female cricketer Jhulan Goswami. The film is titled Chakda Xpress and is ready to be released directly on Netflix. But the release of Chakda Xpress is uncertain as the makers of the film and Netflix representatives are having creative disagreements.

    Abhay Deol

    Movie buffs on social media are demanding Abhay Deol to make a comeback. Abhay Deol is and has been one of the most appealing actors in Bollywood. The actor rose to prominence after featuring the iconic movies like Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! (2008), Dev. D (2009) and Zindagi Na Milengi Dobarra (2011). Zindagi Na Milengi Dobarra is his biggest commercial success and his best performance to date. Unfortunately, his road to fame suffered due to a lack of good opportunities. He was last seen in the 2023 Netflix show Trail By Fire which met critical acclaim. However, his last theatrical film came in 2022.

    Abhay Deol is cousin brother of actors Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol. Sunny and Bobby have made a rocking comeback in the film industry and Abhay definitely needs to follow them. Even if it’s a negative role or the main antagonist, Abhay Deol should look to make a solid comeback in movies.

    Dino Morea

    In 1999, Dino Morea won the Gladrags supermodel contest and arrived in Bollywood with a bang. Back in 2000, he was one of the most handsome actors to exist in Bollywood. But sadly, his movie career never really took off. He featured in several box office failures and disappointing films. But he is dedicated to working hard and making a comeback. We will surely love to have Dino Morea back in Hindi films. But as of now, he is focusing on other regional films and web series.

    Dino Morea was last seen in films like Bandra and Solo which are Malayalam films. He also played the main antagonist in the Telugu film Agent which was a commercial flop. Dino Morea is presently shooting for Netflix’s second season of Rana Naidu. The series will be released in 2025 and will feature Dino Morea in the pivotal role.

    Imran Khan recently activated his Instagram account where he shared several behind-the-scenes pictures of his previous films and his fans got nostalgic. According to the reports, Imran Khan is serious about making a comeback. Even if it is a film or web series, Imran Khan is reading several scripts, meeting several directors, and will soon announce his comeback project.

    Fardeen Khan

Upon its release, Main Hoon Na was commercially successful and received positive reviews. Shahrukh Khan was already a big star. But Main Hoon Na came as a blessing for Zayed Khan who was new in the film industry and achieved a star status.

    After Main Hoon Na, Zayed Khan received ample of opportunities and featured in many films. But his film career never really grew. His last theatrical film came in 2015. The actor has many friends and relatives in the film industry who would love to work with him again. He is still popular, young, and good-looking. He can surely feature as an antagonist in an film or web series.

    Arjun Rampal

    Arjun Rampal is loved by everyone. Even at age 51, he is presently one of the handsomest actors in the industry. A decade ago, he was one of the leading actors in Bollywood. He was featured in several successful films like Om Shanti Om, Ra. One, Raajneeti, Houseful, Don, and Aankhen. Arjun Rampal never really went away as he had several film releases in the past few years. However, he is not getting an appropriate role that will suit his personality.

    Arjun Rampal’s next film is a big project that will surely mark his big comeback. The actor will feature in Aditya Dhar’s next drama directional film. Aditya Dhar previously directed URI. Besides Arjun Rampal, the film features an ensemble cast of Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Akshaye Khanna. Arjun Rampal is also shooting for the next season of Rana Naidu.

    Akshaye Khanna

    Akshaye Khanna needs to make a comeback. He is one of the best actors to have worked in Bollywood ever. He has remarkable acting skills.

    Kapil Sharma is one of India’s greatest standup comedians. He is presently the most popular comedian and the highest-paid comedian in India. He is presently doing his super successful TV show with his crew. But he is keen to take up acting projects as well.

    In 2023, Kapil Sharma drama film Zwigato. Zwigato is a film about a food delivery rider and his daily struggle in life. The film was directed by Nandita Das. Zwigato shown at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival and Busan International Film Festival.

The film starred an ensemble cast of Vijay, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Sarja, Trisha, Gautham Vasudev Menon, and George Maryan among others. Leo generally received mixed reviews from critics with criticism for its writing and screenplay. However, the audience and fans of Vijay enjoyed the movie as it earned over 600 crores globally becoming a major commercial success.

    For his 2022 film Beast, Vijay was paid less than his usual acting fees as the film didn’t perform as per expectations and is one of the least liked films of Vijay. Beast generally received mixed to negative reviews. The film was commercially successful but not a major hit like the past films of Vijay. For the movie Beast, Vijay was paid 100 crores. The film starred Vijay in the male lead with Pooja Hegde in the female lead. Vijay was paid a whopping 150-160 crores for his acting fees in the 2023 family drama film Varisu.

    Salman Khan nearly charges 150 crores for his acting fees. But he can take a larger amount if he is co-producing the film. Shahrukh Khan was paid a whopping 200-220 crores for his last film Jawan. He was paid significantly higher because he produced the film and also his VFX company handled the VFX work of the film.

    Bhediya is one of the wittiest horror comedy films one can watch. The film stars an ensemble cast of Varun Dhawan, Abhishek Banerjee, and Kriti Sanon. The best thing about Bhediya is the comic timing of Varun Dhawan and Abhishek Banerjee. The VFX and graphics are wonderful too.

  • Sharvari Already The Next Big Thing In Bollywood

    She featured in the 2024 superhit horror comedy film Munjya

    With just a little bit of experience in Bollywood, new actress Sharvari has been signed by one of the biggest movie production houses in India to feature in one of the biggest movie franchises. Sharvari certainly seems like the next big thing in Bollywood as many big filmmakers are thinking of signing her to feature as the female lead in their next films.

    A little bit about Sharvari

    Born in 1997 in Mumbai. Her father is a renowned builder and her mother is an architect.

    In an interview, the actress revealed that she has been auditioning for movie roles since 2014. Though she served as an assistant director to popular director Luv Ranjan in movies like Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. She also served as an assistant director to legendary filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali in his film Bajirao Mastani.

    Debut as an Actress

    Sharvari finally made her acting debut in 2020 in director Kabir Khan’s directional web series The Forgotten – Azaadi Ke Liye. The show was aired on Prime Video and received positive reviews. Sharvari was featured opposite actor Sunny Kaushal whom she is dating presently. Sunny Kaushal is the younger brother of leading Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal.

    Sharvari made her film debut with Yash Raj Films, one of the biggest movie production and distribution companies in India. She was featured as one of the leads in the 2021 movie Bunty Aur Babli 2. The film also starred Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji, and Siddhant Chaturvedi. The film underperformed at the box office and received negative reviews. Whereas, Sharvari won the Best Female Debut award at the IFFA Awards and Filmfare Awards 2022.

    Established Actress

    She is just a few years old in Bollywood yet someway Sharvari is one of the leading ladies of Bollywood today. Her last release was a big commercial success whereas her upcoming release in 2025 is one of the biggest films of 2025.

    Sharvari had two major film releases in 2024. Earlier this year, she featured as the female lead in the horror comedy film Munjya. The film also starred Abhay Verma as the male lead along with an ensemble cast of Sathyaraj, Mona Singh, and Suhas Joshi among others.

    Munjya is a horror comedy film directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. The film is produced by Dinesh Vijan and his production house Maddock Films. Munjya is a part and fourth film from the Maddock Supernatural Universe. Maddock Supernatural Universe has delivered iconic horror comedy films like Stree, Bhediya, and the recent epic blockbuster Stree 2.

    Munjya is the dark horse of 2024. The film had limited options. The film featured a new and inexperienced star cast. The film was directed by a debutant director and the film was released on lesser screens in the theatres. Yet, Munjya managed to outperform many big films of 2024 featuring an A-list star cast. Upon its release, Munjya received positive reviews and emerged as a major commercial success by earning over 130 crores globally. The film proved to be a breakthrough for young actors such as Sharvari and Abhay Verma.

    After Munjya, Sharvari featured in one of the leads in the 2024 drama film Vedaa. The film also starred John Abraham and Abhishek Banerjee in the lead. Unlike her last film, Vedaa underperformed at the box office and received mixed reviews. But Sharvari’s performance was highly hailed by critics.

    As of now, Sharvari is shooting for her next big film. In 2025, Sharvari will feature in the film Alpha. Alpha is a 2025 large-scale film starring Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol among others. All four actors will join the Yash Raj Films’s YRF Universe.

Alpha is set to release in late 2025 and it will be the seventh film from the YRF Universe. Before Alpha, the audience will get to see W2 which will be released in mid-2025.

    With a film like Alpha, Sharvari will stand tall as one of the leading actresses of Bollywood. According to the reports, she is been considered by many producers to star opposite actors like Kartik Aaryan, Ranveer Singh, Rajkummar Rao, and Ayushmann Khurana in their upcoming films.

  • Superstar Actors Who Can Do Dhoom 4

    Dhoom is one of the most successful Indian film franchises

    Yash Raj Films (YRF) is one of India’s biggest movie production houses based in Mumbai. The YRF head Aditya Chopra enjoys two massive film franchises ‘Dhoom and YRF Universe’ under his production banner. We have seen YRF going all out with their YRF Universe by bringing films like Pathaan, W1, TZH, and T3 in recent times and a few more films that are under production. But the YRF team is quite slow on taking the Dhoom franchise onward. The last and third part of Dhoom came back in 2013.

    Dhoom series earlier included John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan, and Aamir Khan as the main antagonist

    The first part of Dhoom was released in 2004 with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra as and John Abraham as the main antagonist. Despite receiving mixed reviews, Dhoom ended up on the winning side by becoming one of the major hits of 2004.

    The second part of Dhoom titled ‘Dhoom 2’ was released in 2006 with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra reprising their roles and Hrithik Roshan as the new main antagonist. Dhoom 2 met the expectations and became one of the highest-grossing films of all time in 2006 and broke several box office records.

    The third part of Dhoom titled ‘Dhoom 3’ was released in 2013 again with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra and legendary actor Aamir Khan in a dual role as the main antagonist. Dhoom 3 received widespread popularity. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the film grossed over 400 crores in just ten days becoming a major commercial success.

    With John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan, and Aamir Khan already featured in the Dhoom series we only see these three Bollywood actors who can do justice and might feature in Dhoom 4. However, Dhoom 4 is not been officially announced yet. But it will surely happen in the future.

    Ranbir Kapoor

    Ranbir Kapoor is presently the most popular actor in India. The actor has received a cult following and his film career has taken a giant step frontward post the success of his last film Animal (2023). He is already giving tough competition to some of the biggest superstars of the country, Prabhas, Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, and Aamir Khan. Ranbir Kapoor has quite a few big releases under production. He is presently shooting for ‘Dangal’ director Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming ‘RMY’ along with actress Sai Pallavi and actor Yash. The film is made on a whopping budget of 800+ crores with the first part of a movie set to release between 2025 – 2026. After wrapping up RMY, Ranbir will begin shooting for a film titled ‘L & W’.

    L & W is directed by noted filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and it also stars Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal besides Ranbir Kapoor. Ranbir Kapoor will also star in the sequel of Animal titled ‘Animal Park’. With several big films under his belt, we still think Ranbir Kapoor might be perfect to play the next antagonist in Dhoom 4. He is handsome, he has aura and he made the world go crazy with his acting in Animal. No doubt, Dhoom 4 will be very big with Ranbir Kapoor.

    Salman Khan

    Salman Khan is the boss. Though the last few films of him have underperformed at the box office and he is to blame for it. But he is still one of the biggest superstars in the country and everyone is wholeheartedly waiting to see him do larger-than-life movies. Salman’s last big hit came back in 2017 which was TZH from the YRF Universe.

    In recent times, the actor has been criticized by fans and critics for doing mediocre and tasteless films like Dabangg 3, Kisi Ka Bhai Ki Jaan, Radhe, and a few more. And he did these films, especially after delivering iconic blockbusters like Sultan and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. He did Kisi Ka Bhai Ki Jaan in 2023 and as a result, his much-awaited biggie T3 released in 2023 underperformed at the box office.

    Fortunately, he has accepted his mistake and he is now looking to work only with big directors in the country and big production houses. He has signed quite a few big films with two films already under production. He is presently shooting for director AR Murugadoss’s next film titled ‘Sikander’ which is slated to release in April 2025. The film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. Salman Khan is also confirmed to star in Karan Johar’s next titled ‘The Bull’ that will be directed by ‘Shershaah’ fame director Vishnu Vardhan.

    Salman is YRF’s favorite. They have together delivered blockbuster films like Sultan, TZH, and ETT. No wonder YRF will think of Salman Khan whenever they are looking to lock the cast of Dhoom 4.

    Shahrukh Khan

    Last but not the least. Shahrukh Khan has completely changed the game and has set new benchmarks for every Superstar in this country. He has created box office records that would be impossible to be broken anytime soon. What he has done in 2023 with Pathaan and Jawan was shocking, surprising, and unpredictable. Now every time Shahrukh Khan comes up with a large-scale film, a 1000 crore worldwide collection would be a cakewalk for him. As of now, Shahrukh Khan has only one film under production. The film is titled ‘The King’ and it is the debut movie for Shahrukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan. Earlier Shahrukh Khan was expected to do a guest appearance but now he is confirmed to play a full-fledged role in the film. The film is jointly produced by Shahrukh Khan and Pathaan fame director Sidharth Anand.

    The film is directed by Sujoy Dosh. Owning to the success of Pathaan and Jawan, SRK might be YRF’s first choice for Dhoom 4. Though the actor is confirmed to begin the shooting for Pathaan 2 once he wraps up ‘The King’.

    With Salman and Shahrukh are already associated with YRF’s Universe. Ranbir Kapoor might be suitable to get associated with YRF for Dhoom 4. Their last collaboration came in 2022 with the film Shamshera which was a box office flop.
