Ranbir Kapoor's involvement in Dhoom 4 remains uncertain, as the script for the action-packed entertainer is still in the works. Despite years of speculation, the actor has not yet signed on to play the main antagonist. According to a source close to the project, Ranbir is merely an 'idea' at this stage. Yash Raj has been struggling to craft a script for Dhoom 4 since the release of Dhoom 3 in 2013, with Aditya Chopra rejecting over nine drafts. The director is being cautious, ensuring the script is flawless before venturing into this prestigious franchise, especially after the setbacks with War 2 and Mardaani 3. Ranbir Kapoor's participation is contingent upon the script's finalization. He is currently focused on Sanjay Bhansali's Love & War and Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, having had a challenging experience with Yash Raj on his previous film, Shamshera. The Dhoom franchise, which began in 2004 with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham, has achieved remarkable success with each installment, making it a landmark hit in Bollywood. As the script for Dhoom 4 remains a work in progress, the future of this action-packed series hangs in the balance.
