Ranbir Kapoor’s transformation for Dhoom 4

According to a source quoted by India Today, Ranbir Kapoor will have a “different look” for Dhoom 4 and before he begins to prep for the movie, he will complete his two existing projects – Ramayan and Love And War. The insider also confirmed with the publication that the shoot of the film will begin in April 2026. Reportedly, the actor will play the villain in the highly-awaited movie.

The source also revealed that the production team is currently “looking to lock two female leads and an antagonist” for the film. The insider also shared that the actors from the South are being considered to play the antagonist in Dhoom 4. Well, if that turns out to be true, it will be exciting to see a popular face from the South Indian film industry bring a new dimension to the franchise. Earlier, reports also suggest that two big heroes from the young generation will play the cop duo in Dhoom 4.
