  • Major Update On YRF’s Dhoom 4

    YRF’s Dhoom is a popular film franchise

    Yash Raj Films (YRF) is the biggest production house in India. It is a film distribution, production, and direction production company run by Aditya Chopra, the chairman of the company. YRF owns two of the biggest movie franchises in India, the YRF Universe and YRF Dhoom Franchise. We have been getting films from the YRF Universe frequently now. But it has been more than a decade since a film from the Dhoom franchise was released. The last film ‘Dhoom 3’ came in 2013 and now we are almost entering in 2025 with a major update on Dhoom 4.

     YRF Universe

    YRF Universe is the most popular and most successful film franchise in India starring superstars like Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan.

    This franchise has produced large scale films like

    Films Release Year
    ETT 2012
    TZH 2017
    W1 2019
    Pathaan 2023
    T3 2023
    W2 2025
    Alpha 2025

     

    No doubt, YRF Universe is getting huge love from fans. But what about the Dhoom franchise?

    Dhoom 4

    We are getting Dhoom 4. Yes! To the fans of this popular franchise, Dhoom 4 is coming soon.

    Dhoom was released in 2004, Dhoom 2 in 2006, and Dhoom 3 in 2013.

    Now after almost a decade, YRF has confirmed that Dhoom 4 is in the making. Dhoom 4 will have a completely new cast. Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra who were part of all Dhoom films won’t be part of Dhoom 4. Dhoom 4 will have a new director and a new creative, and stunt team now.

    The first Dhoom film was released in 2004 with John Abraham playing the main antagonist. Hrithik Roshan essayed the role of the main antagonist in Dhoom 2 where Aamir Khan played the main antagonist in Dhoom 3. Among all Dhoom films, Aamir Khan’s Dhoom 3 is the highest-grossing film from the franchise despite receiving mixed reviews.

    Now the big question is, who will be playing the main lead in Dhoom 4?

    Ranbir Kapoor, the newest superstar in town has been signed to play the main lead in Dhoom 4.

    YRF and Ranbir Kapoor collaborated on a film titled ‘Shamshera’ which was a huge box office flop. But, following the massive success of ‘Animal’, Ranbir Kapoor has emerged as one of the biggest superstars of India. Animal has proved to be a career-changing film for him. Post Animal, Ranbir Kapoor has signed four to five big-budget Pan India films including Dhoom 4. On Ranbir Kapoor’s 42nd birthday this year, the YRF production house broke the sensational news of Ranbir singing the Dhoom 4 film.

    Despite Animal receiving mixed reviews, it grossed over 900 crores globally. Ranbir Kapoor’s performance in Animal is labeled as one of the greatest performances in the history of Indian Cinema.

    Currently, Dhoom 4 is in the pre-production stage and the shooting for the same will take several months to begin.

    YRF is presently busing working on two upcoming films ‘W2’ and ‘Alpha’. Both are scheduled to release in 2025 which means the shooting of Dhoom 4 will only begin in January 2026. Alpha stars Ranbir Kapoor’s wife Alia Bhatt in the first female led film of YRF Universe.

    Ranbir Kapoor’s best friend Ayan Mukerji might direct Dhoom 4

    Ayan Mukerji is a popular young director. He has directed films like ‘Wake Up Sid’, ‘Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani’ and ‘Brahmashtra’. He is presently directing Hritik Roshan and Jr NTR’s ‘W2’. If ‘W2’ turns out to be a phenomenal movie and a big success, Ayan Mukerji will surely come on board to direct Dhoom 4.

    As of now, Ranbir Kapoor is shooting for films like ‘L and W’ and ‘RMY’. He will also reprise his role in Animal’s sequel movie titled ‘Animal Park’.

    Earlier Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan were the frontrunners for Dhoom 4. But they are already doing other films for YRF. Also, Ranbir Kapoor’s fan following and brand value have taken a major elevation. He is the most demanded and most loved actor presently. He is the perfect choice for Dhoom 4.

    Besides Ranbir Kapoor, YRF is keen to bring in a few other big Bollywood actors to essay the role and other important characters. Actresses Shraddha Kapoor and Kiara Advani are discussed to come on board to play the female lead.

  • YRF Chairman Aditya Chopra Declined An Film To Varun Dhawan

    Aditya Chopra is the chairman of Yash Raj Films

    Aditya Chopra is one of the most influential movie personalities in India. He is a director, producer, screenwriter, and chairman of Yash Raj Films (YRF). Yash Raj Films is one of India’s biggest film production, direction, and distribution companies. It is the leading production house in Bollywood. The company was founded by Yash Chopra and is presently upheld by his son Aditya Chopra. Despite being one of the most powerful people in the Indian Film Industry, Aditya Chopra is an introvert and has rejected fame and celebrity status. He is quite private.

    Aditya Chopra under his production company Yash Raj Films has produced and delivered some of the best films of the Indian Film Industry. He has produced films such as ETT, TZH, W1, Pathaan, and T3. Aditya Chopra has also directed Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge which is considered as one of the best and one of the most influential Indian films ever.

    Aditya Chopra has produced big films such as T3, Pathaan, TZH, and W1 on a mammoth budget of 200-300 crores. The production cost of such stylish films is quite expensive. But these films had superstars like Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan who are certified to deliver a blockbuster to their producer. But it is impossible to make such a high-budget film with a young actor.

    Varun Dhawan earlier in a media interaction revealed that Aditya Chopra declined an film with him.

    Varun Dhawan who was present at the trailer launch of his upcoming series Citadel: Honey Bunny revealed that Aditya Chopra refused to do an film with him.

    Varun said that it was in 2020 when he met Aditya Chopra and director Maneesh Sharma, director of T3 at a badminton club. Varun stated Aditya Chopra is fond of big stylish films and he asked him to cast him in a similar film but Aditya declined to cast him in any film. Aditya Chopra said to Varun that he can’t produce such a high-budget with any young actor and he hasn’t reached the status where he can promise a film to emerge as a blockbuster. Only Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan can promise to deliver a blockbuster.

    However, Varun Dhawan expressed his gratitude to Prime Video and director duo Raj & DK who offered him Citadel: Honey Bunny. Citadel: Honey Bunny is a high-octane series featuring Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu.

    Varun Dhawan will also be seen next in his much-awaited December release Baby John.

    Baby John is an upcoming big film starring Varun Dhawan in a never-before-seen avatar. It is directed by Tamil filmmaker Kalees and presented by Atlee. Atlee is one of the biggest directors in India who directed the 2023 blockbuster Jawan. Baby John is a Hindi remake of Atlee’s directed Tamil film Theri. The film also stars Jackie Shroff, Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Rajpal Yadav among others. The film stars Varun Dhawan in the lead. Superstar Salman Khan makes a cameo appearance in the film.

  • 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

    Imran Khan is the nephew of Aamir Khan. He made his acting debut with the film Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na is one of the most loved Hindi rom-com movies ever. The film was a box office success and received critical acclaim. Imran Khan earned the title of chocolate boy and achieved massive fame after featuring in Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. His 2011 comedy film Delhi Belly is considered a cult film. Even today fans are requesting him to make a comeback with a similar film.

    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

    Between 2000 – 2010, Fardeen Khan was one of the most popular actors in Bollywood. He was considered the next big Khan after Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, and Aamir Khan. He featured in several successful films like Jungle, No Entry, Shaadi No 1, Hey Baby, and All the Best. The actor took a major hiatus of a decade to focus on his business ventures and give time to his family. Fardeen’s last theatrical film came in 2010. But he is back.

    Fardeen Khan has made a comeback in films. As of now, he was part of three major releases of 2024. Earlier this year he featured in Netflix and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s show Heeramandi. He also featured in the 2024 film Khel Khel Mein which was released recently in theaters. His recent release is a film titled Visfot which aired on the digital platform Jio Cinema. The actor will be seen next in the fifth installment of the Houseful film series. He is currently shooting for the same.

    Zayed Khan

    In 2004, Zayed Khan alongside Shahrukh Khan starred in Farah Khan’s directional film Main Hoon Na. Main Hoon Na is one of the most popular Hindi films ever. 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. He has been featured in several commercially successful films like Border, Dil Chaata Hai, Race, and Hulchul. Sadly, his career took a downturn after 2010 and he decided to do lesser films.

    Akshaye Khanna’s last film came in 2022. He featured in a pivotal role in Drishyam 2 which is his highest-grossing film ever. Fortunately, he has quite a promising lineup for 2024 and 2025. He will be seen next in the periodic epic drama film Chaava. The film stars Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambaji and Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb. The film is set to release in December 2024. Akshaye Khanna will also play a pivotal role in Aditya Dhar’s upcoming which stars an ensemble cast of Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal.

    Kapil Sharma

    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.

  • 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.
