Over the last two years, speculations have been rife about the fourth instalment of the Dhoom franchise with reports that Shah Rukh Khan is slated to step into the antagonist’s role. While the main leads of the series have changed, the only faces that remained constant were Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra.
AB Jr says, “Usually, whenever Dhoom happens, there are several stories doing the rounds, but I won’t believe any till filmmaker Aditya Chopra confirms it. For all the three parts in the franchise, he just picked up the phone and told me, ‘Okay, we are ready and we are starting the film.’ But there has been no discussion or development on Dhoom 4 yet.”
The actor also puts another speculation to rest. “There were rumours that Bunty Aur Babli’s remake was in the pipeline, but there’s no truth to that as well,” he states.
However, Abhishek confirms that he’s doing Gulab Jamun with wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. “It’s a heartwarming story. Ash and I liked the script when writer-director Sarvesh Mewara narrated it to us about a year ago. We have been developing it since then, but we haven’t put a date to it yet. It shall go on the floors soon,” he signs off.
