Akshay Kumar to take Yash Raj Films’ Dhoom legacy forward? It looks like the actor has reportedly joined the cast of Dhoom 4 – the fourth instalment of the action-packed series, according to Bollywood analyst Atul Mohan. However, neither Akshay Kumar nor the makers have confirmed the news on social media.
The rumours of Akshay Kumar joining Dhoom 4 started last year when a media report stated that the khiladi will reportedly play an antagonist in the film but more on that later. Now, Mr Mohan tweeted on Monday that a “highly placed source” has confirmed Akshay Kumar’s association with the project: “A highly placed source has revealed that Akshay Kumar has been confirmed for #Dhoom4. Let’s wait for official announcement soon.”
The previous Dhoom instalments (produced by Aditya Chopra) feature stars such as Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Uday Chopra in pivotal roles. The aforementioned report by mid-day claimed that Akshay Kumar has been finalised to play an “underworld don” in the fourth instalment of Dhoom. A source had told the tabloid: “Akshay’s larger-than-life villain act in 2.0 convinced Adi (Chopra) that he would be the perfect fit for the next instalment of Dhoom.
The duo has had some meetings, including the first round of narration. The role is of a suave underworld don and is much more nuanced than the villains of the previous editions. If all goes well, Akshay and Aditya will make an announcement by the year-end.” The tabloid had also mentioned in its report that Dhoom 4 will be made without Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra (Aditya Chopra’s brother).
On the work front, Akshay Kumar has several films in the pipeline such as Sooryavanshi,Atrangi Re, Bachchan Pandey and Bell Bottom. He was last seen in Mission Mangal.
अक्षय कुमार की ‘धूम 4’ को लेकर अतुल मोहन ने लिखा, “एक सूत्र ने खुलासा किया है कि अक्षय कुमार धूम 4 के लिए तय किए गए हैं. इसकी आधिकारिक सूचना का इंतजार करते हैं.” बता दें कि अक्षय कुमार की ‘धूम 4’ की जानकारी सुनकर उनके फैंस में अलग ही एक्साइटमेंट देखने को मिली. इससे पहले अक्षय कुमार की एक और फिल्म ‘अतरंगी रे’ की घोषणा हुई है, जिसमें वह एक्ट्रेस सारा अली खान और धनुष के साथ नजर आने वाले हैं. जिसे आनंद एल राय डायरेक्टर करेंगे.
अक्षय कुमार जल्द ही ‘सूर्यवंशी’ में भी नजर आने वाले हैं. उनकी यह फिल्म इसी साल 27 मार्च को रिलीज होने वाली है. इस फिल्म में एक्टर कैटरीना कैफ के साथ मुख्य भूमिका अदा करते नजर आएंगे. रोहित शेट्टी के डायरेक्शन में तैयार इस फिल्म को धर्मा प्रोडक्शन्स के बैनर तले बनाया गया है. इसके अलावा अक्षय कुमार लक्ष्मी बम में भी दिखाई देंगे, जो इसी साल ईद पर रिलीज होगी.
