Shah Rukh Khan in 'Dhoom Reloaded'?

The villains in Aditya Chopra’s Dhoom franchise just keep getting bigger and better — after John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan, now Adi is keen to cast Shah Rukh Khan in the fourth installment of the franchise with Ranveer Singh taking over from Abhishek Bachchan as the good cop.

Says a source, “Shah Rukh has been approached by Chopra for D4. Talks about dates and remuneration are on. Salman was approached before SRK, but he’s very clear right now about not playing a negative character. Shah Rukh has done it in quite a few films before, so he has no reservations. Also, it’s not a baddie in the true sense of the word. Dhoom baddies are cool and stylish. It’s more in the Don space, which works for SRK.”

The source notes. “Adi’s strategy worked with each Dhoom being bigger than the earlier one at the box-office In Dhoom Reloaded, while Ranveer will now be ACP Jai Dixit, Uday Chopra, who played Ali, will sit out of this project.” Who will play Uday? Watch this space!

THE DHOOM FORMULA
ACP Jai Dixit with his sidekick, the petty thief Ali set out to catch a new master-thief in each installment.  Abhishek Bachchan used to play Jai and Uday Chopra would play Ali, while the villains changed with each film.
