Notable actors like John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan, and Aamir Khan have previously taken on antagonist roles in this franchise. Recently, there have been discussions about Dhoom-4, initially suggesting that actor Surya would play the villain. However, these claims have been debunked.

New reports indicate that Ranbir Kapoor is set to star as the villain in Dhoom-4, a role that will see him as a cyber thief. Director Aditya Chopra is reportedly behind this decision, and story discussions have been ongoing for several months. Production of the film is anticipated to commence early next year.

Currently, Ranbir Kapoor is working on Ramayanam and will soon start filming for Brahmastra-2, followed by a project with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. After completing these films, he will transition to Dhoom-4. The Dhoom series has established a legacy of success, and it will be intriguing to see how Ranbir Kapoor fits into this franchise.
