Over the last 12 years, there have been several reports about the return of Dhoom with the fourth instalment, and come 2026, Aditya Chopra is all set to take Dhoom 4 on floors. According to sources close to the development, Aditya Chopra, along with writer Shridhar Raghavan have teamed up to lock the script of Dhoom 4. 'Aditya Chopra has been closely involved in developing the story and screenplay of Dhoom 4 with Shridhar Raghavan. They are currently working on the story draft that's worthy of the hype around the reboot with Dhoom 4,' revealed a source close to the development, adding further that Ranbir Kapoor, who plays the lead character, is also excited to get on a journey of heist on the bikes. 'Ranbir is the apt choice for Dhoom 4, and the character is also designed keeping his aura and personality in mind. The new Dhoom film is being designed keeping the global action standards in mind, and the visual pallete, as also storytelling will be very different from the already established YRF Spy Universe,' the source informed. YRF is aiming to take Dhoom 4 on floors with Ranbir Kapoor in April 2026, and the frontrunner to direct is Ayan Mukerji, who is expected to deep dive into the pre-production after the release of War 2 on Independence 2025. The film is being planned for a 2027 release, with the intent to call it a wrap by the end of 2026. Ranbir is presently shooting for Love And War with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and on calling it a wrap, he moves on to complete Ramayana 2. On finishing the two commitments, he commences the journey on Dhoom 4, from Summer 2026. Brahmastra 2 and Animal Park are also in the pipeline for Ranbir. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Why Bipasha Basu Consciously Stepped Back From Films After Getting Married
New Delhi: Bipasha Basu was one of the reigning actresses of Bollywood between 2000 to 2009. It was on the sets of her 2015 film Alone, where she fell in love with Karan Singh Grover. In a conversation with the Bombay Times recently, the actress got candid about why she stepped back from movies after getting married in 2016. She elaborated on how she is entirely focused on motherhood right now and only wants to give interviews when she has something to say. What Bipasha Basu highlighted her decision to take a much-needed sabbatical from work as she started working very young, at the age of 15. The actress said, "When I got married, I definitely consciously stepped back. I wanted to enjoy the perks of all that I had worked hard for. Then the three years went by so fast - being in love and settling down, it was great. I don't regret any of it. Then the decision of wanting to become a mother - was a little difficult for me. I had to make some strong decisions, and it took me some time to do that. I had a baby and now I don't want to miss out on any time with my baby." Bipasha further expressed gratitude for having that luxury to step back, because she had worked so hard for it. The actress also shared that she would love to get back to work, but there's no rush. Speaking of how she wants to make her daughter proud with the work she does, Basu added, "Acting is something that I love, so. And I need my child to see who I am, apart from being a mum. Now she's becoming more intelligent and sharper. She is always curious - 'Why are people taking Mama's pictures at airports?"

‘Mumbai bula ke bech diya to': Aamir Khan's Dhoom 3 child actor Siddharth Nigam reveals why he was scared to debut in YRF actioner
Actor Siddharth Nigam, known for his role in Hai Junoon, recently shared his experience about auditioning for Dhoom 3. Recalling the time he was invited to try out for the film, in which he portrayed the younger version of Aamir Khan 's character, Siddharth admitted that initially, he suspected the audition call to be a hoax and feared "Mumbai bula ke bech diya to' as he wasn't aware of Yash Raj Films. Recalling his initial unfamiliarity with Bollywood, Siddharth Nigam told Hindustan Times that when Yash Raj Films and Shanoo ma'am contacted him, he and his family were scared and uncertain about where to go, as they had no connections in Mumbai. He even wondered if the call was a prank and, being an avid viewer of Crime Patrol and Savdhaan India, feared that they might be lured to Mumbai and exploited. He admitted that at the time, he had no idea what Yash Raj Films was or who Shanoo ma'am was. Siddharth revealed that eventually, his brother looked up Yash Raj Films and Shanoo Sharma to grasp the importance of the opportunity. Once they confirmed it was genuine, everything changed for them. He expressed his gratitude for the warm reception he received from the industry, especially from Yash Raj Films, saying he would always be thankful. In 2025, Siddharth Nigam is prominently featured in the show Hai Junoon, which revolves around a spirited dance group competing against their college's elite singing choir. He portrays Vikram, a hopeful singer battling with self-doubt and ambition, guided by the character played by Neil Nitin Mukesh. Siddharth shared that he relates to Vikram's journey, describing him as someone pursuing dreams while uncertain about his place, reflecting the experience of many outsiders. Despite entering the industry early, Siddharth said he is still evolving and discovering his own voice. He also mentioned that working on Hai Junoon brought him back to his humble beginnings in Prayagraj, where he was once a gymnast, unaware of the entertainment world ahead. He recalled his modest upbringing, with his mother running a small beauty parlour. Although he doesn't consider himself to have struggled extensively, he credits early opportunities. Still, he had to navigate and figure out the path.
