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.

  • Says he ignored what he viewed as propaganda lines and concentrated on the filmmaking
  • Compares the film to Hollywood war dramas often criticised for political messaging

Kashyap’s review singles out craft over ideology

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has added his voice to the praise for Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller Dhurandhar, saying he admired the film even though he did not agree with all of its political messaging. Writing on Letterboxd, Kashyap said he chose to look past what he felt were a couple of propaganda-heavy moments and instead focus on the quality of the filmmaking.

He noted that hostility towards an enemy state is often built into the genre itself, adding that he had no issue with that aspect. However, he pointed to two specific dialogues that troubled him, saying that setting them aside allowed the film to work strongly on its own terms. He described Dhurandhar as a good, and ultimately brilliant, film largely set in Pakistan.
