After years of speculation linking him to Dhoom 4, Ranbir Kapoor has finally addressed the rumours once and for all. Speaking during his appearance at San Diego Comic-Con, the Bollywood star clarified his upcoming film lineup and put an end to reports suggesting he would headline the next installment of Yash Raj Films’ blockbuster action franchise.
The actor, who attended the international event to promote Ramayana, also gave fans an exciting update on the projects currently keeping him busy.
Ranbir Kapoor Clears the Air on Dhoom 4
For several years, reports have claimed that Ranbir Kapoor would take over the Dhoom franchise as its new leading face. However, the actor has now confirmed that Dhoom 4 is not part of his current slate.
During an interview with Review Nation at San Diego Comic-Con, the host mentioned Dhoom 4 while discussing Ranbir’s upcoming films alongside Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups and Ramayana.
Ranbir immediately corrected the assumption.
“No, right now I am working on Ramayana and another film called Love & War, which is directed by Mr. Sanjay Bhansali. That should be out on January 24 next year,” the actor said.
His statement has effectively dismissed the long-running rumours surrounding his involvement in Dhoom 4.
