17 october 2024 : Although Dhoom 4 hasn’t been officially confirmed, it’s quickly becoming one of the most anticipated films of the year. The buzz began with rumors of Ranbir Kapoor’s casting, followed by reports that Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra would not be returning to the franchise. Recently, speculation suggested Shraddha Kapoor might join the action-thriller, reuniting with Ranbir after their 2023 rom-com Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. However, fans were not too thrilled. Now, the latest rumor indicates that not Shraddha, but Kiara Advani and Sharvari are likely to be cast as the new Dhoom girls.
A Reddit thread suggests that Kiara and Sharvari could join Dhoom 4 alongside Ranbir, with one possibly playing a cop and the other a villain. However, netizens seem disappointed, especially with Kiara’s rumored role.
One social media user expressed, “Sharvari is fine, but I’m getting mighty bored of Kiara now. She lacks range and relies on looking pretty and bubbly. Aside from the funeral scene in Shershaah, her roles in films like Indu Ki Jawani, JugJugg Jeeyo, Govinda Naam Mera, and Satyaprem Ki Katha all feel the same.”
Another netizen compared Kiara to Alia Bhatt, stating, “Sharvari is fine, but I’m not excited for more of Kiara, especially in Dhoom 4. Ironically, both Alias (referring to Alia Bhatt and Kiara) are pushing themselves despite audiences not being that eager to see them.” A harsher comment added, “Tired of seeing Kiara everywhere, and she can’t even act.”
Currently, Sharvari is busy shooting for YRF’s spy-universe project Alpha with Alia Bhatt, while Kiara is set to appear alongside Ranveer Singh in Don 3. Fans are left wondering: if you could choose, who would you cast opposite Ranbir in Dhoom 4—Kiara, Shraddha, or Sharvari?
