Dhoom 4 is one film that has been creating buzz for a long time even without an official announcement. Dhoom 3 starring Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif, Abhishek Bachchan & Uday Chopra released 8 years back and the fans have been excited for the 4th part since then.
From the beginning, the Dhoom films have invited comparison to the Fast & Furious franchise, with John Abraham s charismatic villain/antihero in the first giving way to Hrithik Roshan s even more charismatic variation in the hugely successful sequel. One feature unique to the Dhoom series, though, most decidedly continued in the third and latest installment, is the ostensible heroes tough cop Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan), and his crook-turned-cop partner Ali Akbar (Uday Chopra) being mentioned secondarily, if at all. In the first film, John Abraham was simply more interesting than they were, but over time, the series has evolved consciously into an exploration between action sequences and songs of the antihero as an archetype, with bigger and bigger stars cast. In Dhoom: 2, it was Hrithik Roshan, and now, in Dhoom: 3, no less a worthy than Aamir Khan.
