The makers of the popular Bollywood action series Dhoom are all set to release the fourth film in the franchise after a long gap. The third film, Dhoom 3, came out in 2013, and now, thirteen years later, Dhoom 4 is gearing up for production.

Top Bollywood producer Aditya Chopra, who has been working on the project with his team, recently confirmed that Ranbir Kapoor will be the lead actor in Dhoom 4. The script has been finalized by Aditya Chopra along with writer Sridhar Raghavan. Reports suggest that Ayan Mukerji may direct the film, bringing fresh energy to this popular series.

The shooting for Dhoom 4 is expected to start in April 2026, with the movie likely to hit theaters in 2027. Currently, Ranbir Kapoor is busy with several other projects including Ramayana, Love and War, and Animal Park, which he plans to complete before starting work on Dhoom 4.

The Dhoom series is known for its high-octane action scenes, thrilling chase sequences, and stylish characters. Each film has been a hit with audiences, making the franchise one of Bollywood’s most successful action sagas. Fans are eagerly waiting to see Ranbir Kapoor take on this role and add his own charm to the franchise.

With the excitement building around Dhoom 4, Bollywood lovers are hopeful the new film will continue the legacy of its predecessors and deliver the same level of entertainment and action-packed scenes.

At the Waves Summit 2025 in Mumbai, Maharashtra’s Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis expressed his admiration for the upcoming film Ramayana directed by Nitesh Tiwari. After visiting the production pavilion with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Fadnavis praised the movie’s high-quality production, calling it an example of combining traditional Indian storytelling with modern filmmaking techniques.

In a conversation with writer-producer Namit Malhotra, Fadnavis said, “I think this is the way we need to tell our stories to the new generation.” He also added that the production quality could potentially make it “the best in the globe.” The film is anticipated to be a visually spectacular experience, with extensive investment in visual effects and post-production processes to meet international standards.

Ramayana features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana. The film, which will be released in two parts, also stars Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey, and Lara Dutta in key roles. The first part is expected to release around Diwali 2026, with the second part scheduled for 2027. The film’s global appeal is emphasized by Malhotra, who believes in celebrating Indian storytelling on a worldwide scale. He remarked, “We all enjoy Hollywood films like Oppenheimer and Forrest Gump, and our stories are universal too. I believe this one is.”

Despite the film’s mythological roots, the makers aim to present it as a cultural and cinematic project rather than a religious one. The movie has generated significant interest, especially after leaked images of the lead actors in costume circulated online. Fans are eagerly awaiting the official teaser as the release date approaches.
