Ranbir Kapoor joining the team of Dhoom 4? Let’s revisit the iconic villains of the Franchise

Ranbir Kapoor will be a part of the Dhoom franchise as reports say the actor has signed on to work in the upcoming installment of the film. The news, which coincides with Ranbir’s 42nd birthday today, has created a stir among Bollywood lovers. According to a report by Pinkvilla, the actor has been roped in for the much-awaited fourth installment of the Dhoom film series. The upcoming film under the YRF banner is reportedly in pre-production and is being supervised by Aditya Chopra.

While Ranbir is gearing up to play the villain in Dhoom 4, let’s take a look at the other iconic antagonists of Yash Raj Films’ beloved franchise.

John Abraham, Dhoom (2004)

The first film in the Dhoom series was released 20 years ago. While Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra played good cops ACP Jay Dixit and Ali, John Abraham created the archetype of unique villains in the series.

He led a gang of motorcycle thieves that committed a series of thefts in Mumbai.

The actor even received a nomination at the 50th Filmfare Awards for Best Villain. John won Best Villain awards at the 6th IIFA Awards and Zee Cine Awards

Hrithik Roshan, Dhoom 2 (2006)

Hrithik Roshan continued things from where John left. Hrithik’s impeccable acting and stunts in ‘Dhoom 2’ remain fresh in the minds of fans. Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra reprized their role in the 2006 film. Hrithik played the role of Aryan Singhania, also known as Mr. A, who steals valuable artifacts from various places. For all the heists, Hrithik teamed up with Aishwarya Rai’s character Sunheri.

Aamir Khan, Dhoom 3 (2013)

In this 2013 film, Aamir played the dual role of Sahir Khan and Samar Khan, who continued the chase game with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra’s characters. Dhoom 3 has a different plot than the other two films as Aamir’s character robs branches of Western Bank of Chicago in revenge.

Ranbir Kapoor, Dhoom 4

According to a report by Pinkvilla, Aditya Chopra is considering reviving the story for modern audiences. According to the report, none of the old cast members will be reprising their roles in the upcoming film Dhoom.

“Talks with Ranbir take the longest. He always showed interest in being a part of Dhoom 4 once he heard about the basic idea and now he has finally been confirmed to lead the series. Adi Chopra feels that RK is the perfect choice to continue the legacy of Dhoom,” a source close to the development told the portal.
