The Dhoom franchise is gearing up for its next part, and fans are eagerly waiting for Dhoom 4 to hit the big screen. After a long gap, the film is finally moving forward, with pre-production work underway. The biggest buzz surrounding the film is about its villain. According to recent reports, South superstar Surya is in talks to play the villain in Dhoom 4, a role that has always been a major highlight of the series.
Why the Villain in Dhoom is Always a Big Deal
The Dhoom series is not just about fast bikes, action-packed sequences, and thrilling heists. One of the main attractions has always been its villains. From John Abraham in the first Dhoom to Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2 and Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3, each villain has left a lasting impression on the audience. The villains in Dhoom films are portrayed as not just anti-heroes but characters with depth, charm, and an unmatched style.
This time, it seems like Surya might step into the shoes of the next iconic villain. The news has created a huge buzz, especially after Surya’s recent success in South Indian cinema.
Surya’s Possible Role in Dhoom 4
There’s speculation that Surya has been approached by Yash Raj Films (YRF) to play the lead antagonist in Dhoom 4. Reports suggest that Surya is currently busy with his other film commitments, including his upcoming release Kanguva, where he will be seen in a double role. However, discussions between Surya and the Dhoom 4 team are ongoing, and the actor has yet to officially sign the dotted line.
If Surya agrees to play the villain, it will be his first time working in a big Bollywood action film. Known for his versatile acting and charisma, Surya could be a perfect fit for the stylish and sharp villain that the Dhoom franchise is known for.
Why YRF is Focusing on Strong Villains in Their Films
Producer Aditya Chopra has always given equal importance to the villains in his films. Whether it was John Abraham in Pathaan or Emraan Hashmi in Tiger 3, the villains in YRF’s spy universe are never overshadowed by the heroes. They often become the talking point of the film.
For Dhoom 4, Aditya Chopra is reportedly working closely with Ayan Mukerji, Vijay Krishna Acharya, and Sridhar Raghavan to ensure that the villain’s role is just as impactful as the previous part.
Ayan Mukerji, who is currently working on other projects, is set to direct Dhoom 4, adding his unique touch to the franchise. There is no official confirmation yet, but it looks like the makers are keen to make this a grand return for the Dhoom series.
Dhoom Franchise: A Look Back
The Dhoom series started in 2004, with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham leading the cast. The film was a huge hit, thanks to its fast-paced action and stylish storyline. Hrithik Roshan then took on the role of the villain in Dhoom 2 (2006), delivering one of the most memorable performances in Bollywood. In Dhoom 3 (2013), Aamir Khan played a double role, and the film became one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of all time.
Each installment of Dhoom has raised the bar when it comes to action, style, and the portrayal of its villains. Now, with Dhoom 4 on the horizon, fans are expecting yet another iconic villain, and Surya could just be the perfect choice to carry the legacy forward.
Surya’s Busy Schedule and Upcoming Projects
Before we see Surya in Dhoom 4, fans can catch him in his upcoming film Kanguva. In this film, Surya is set to play a double role, which has already created a lot of excitement. The film was initially set to release in October but was delayed due to Rajinikanth’s film release. Surya will also be seen in a spin-off based on his character from Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Vikram, which was a huge hit in 2022.
While Surya’s Bollywood debut as a villain is not confirmed yet, the actor is currently weighing his options. Given his packed schedule, he might take some time before making a final decision about Dhoom 4.
Fans are eagerly waiting for an official announcement, and if Surya does sign on for Dhoom 4, it will be a massive moment for both Bollywood and South Indian cinema.
