Ranbir Kapoor’s Next Big Dilemma — Brahmastra 2 or Dhoom 4? Bollywood’s Biggest Franchise Battle Begins

After back-to-back mega-budget productions, Ranbir Kapoor is already plotting his next power move — and the options on the table are nothing short of blockbuster gold.

Ranbir Kapoor”s Upcoming Film Roadmap

What’s the Story?

Ranbir Kapoor is currently working on Ramayana and Love & War, and is expected to wrap both projects by October 2026. But even before the ink dries on those, the actor is already scouting his next big project.

Sources reveal Ranbir is actively reading multiple scripts, with the intent of locking one film that can go on floors ahead of Animal Park, which is slated to begin production by the end of 2027.

And the two frontrunners? Two of the most anticipated franchise films in Bollywood history.

Brahmastra 2 vs Dhoom 4 — What We Know

Ranbir has heard the ideas for both Brahmastra 2 and Dhoom 4, and has liked the worlds being created in each of them. However, he is awaiting bound scripts before making a final decision.

Both films come with real hurdles. While Dhoom 4 is still in early stages with Yash Raj Films yet to lock a director for the reboot, Brahmastra 2 faces casting challenges — the sequel was initially expected to feature Deepika Padukone as Amrita alongside Ranbir’s Dev, but with Deepika expecting her second child, the makers are now exploring a change in casting for her role.

Despite those complications, one project has the edge right now. Among Dhoom 4 and Brahmastra 2, right now Brahmastra is in the forefront to be his next film — but several factors need to align for it to go on floors.

Animal Park Is Still the Anchor

Don’t lose sight of the bigger picture. Sandeep Vanga is committed to starting Animal Park by end of 2027, and has already had several rounds of discussions with Ranbir on the same. pinkvilla Everything RK does between now and then will need to fit around that unmovable slot.

Ranbir is expected to have a clearer picture by June 2026, once he hears the final drafts of both projects.

The Dhoom franchise has been one of Bollywood’s most iconic action series since 2004, making a Ranbir-led reboot potentially the most anticipated Hindi film announcement in years.
