Salman Khan likely to topline Yash Raj Films’ Dhoom 4

After Race 3, Salman Khan is set to headline another popular Hindi film franchise. Buzz has it that producer Aditya Chopra has signed Khan for the next instalment of Dhoom (2008). Not just Salman, reports suggest that Padmaavat (2018) star Ranveer Singh is also in talks to play a pivotal part in Dhoom 4.

"While Salman and Aditya have been discussing Dhoom 4 for over a year, the deal was finally locked last week post the release of Race 3. Adi plans to release Dhoom 4 in 2020. Victor (Vijay Krishna Acharya), who is busy with Thugs Of Hindostan, will direct the movie. Buzz is that Ranveer Singh will also star in the film,” a source lets on.


Adding further, the source says, "A reference poster has also been made. Salman Khan's character is likely to have long hair and a scar on his face. He won't play a negative character. His part will be like Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan's characters in the previous instalments."

Dhoom is one of the most successful Bollywood franchises known for its jaw-dropping action, high-end motorbikes and nail-biting chase sequences. So, if Salman and Ranveer team up for its next instalment, the duo will have to do something really big to draw audiences and replicate the success of previous parts.

Riz Ahmed’s 'Hamlet' trailer drops murder suspicion into a South Asian business dynasty

Highlights:

  • Hamlet trailer lands with Riz Ahmed in the lead role
  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025
  • Cast includes Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Sheeba Chadha and Art Malik

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
