Scoop: Ranbir Kapoor opts out of Dhoom 4; YRF to revamp iconic franchise
A source revealed, “Dhoom 4 was initially slated to be directed by Ayan Mukherjee, but after War 2, Aditya Chopra decided not to hand over the project to the filmmaker. However, Ranbir remained a part of the film and was awaiting clarity from Aditya Chopra.”
After several rounds of discussion, Ranbir decided to part ways with the Dhoom franchise. “Ranbir is no longer doing Dhoom 4. He has started meeting writers and directors to consider other subjects. He was not convinced with the script, which is why he took this decision and shocked everyone. While Dhoom is one of India’s biggest franchises, for Ranbir the story always comes before everything else.”
After Ranbir’s departure, YRF is left with no option but to recast this role. Meanwhile, the actor is preparing to release Ramayan on Diwali followed by Love and War on Republic Day.
