Setting the Record Straight on Dhoom 4
For the past couple of years, rumors have persistently linked Ranbir Kapoor to Yash Raj Films’ next installment in the “Dhoom” franchise, with some reports even claiming extensive talks with producer Aditya Chopra. Speaking with Review Nation at Comic-Con alongside “Ramayana” co-star Yash, Ranbir put the speculation to rest, clarifying that his current focus is entirely on “Ramayana” and his upcoming Sanjay Leela Bhansali film.
