If rumours are to be believed, Khan will be playing a baddie in the movie and his role will be along the lines of Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan’s from the series’ previous installments. The report further states that the actor will sport a scar and long hair.

“While Salman and Aditya have been discussing Dhoom 4 for over a year, the deal was finally locked last week post the release of Race 3. Adi plans to release the fourth Dhoom movie in 2020,” the source told Mid-Day. The report also added that Ranveer Singh might star in the film.

YRF, however, have denied the rumours. “Work on Dhoom 4 hasn’t started yet. There is no truth to these rumours,” a spokesperson told Mid-Day. A trade source revealed that the denial comes only because the paperwork hasn’t been finalised.

Previously, it was reported that the YRF representatives denied approaching the Race 3 star for a role in their blockbuster franchise. It has also been reported that the YRF studio is aiming for a 2020 release date for the fourth installment of the series.
