Known for his versatile roles, the Brahmastra actor will need a completely different look to suit the new character in the film. This marks an exciting next chapter in Kapoor’s career as he gets ready to join the Dhoom legacy.

Upcoming Projects: Love and War & Dhoom 4

Currently, Kapoor is busy filming Love and War, directed by the acclaimed Sanjay Leela Bhansali, in Mumbai. The actor is expected to complete his work on Love and War before transitioning into his role for Dhoom 4.

Kapoor's involvement is seen as a key part of the franchise's revival, as he is regarded as the ideal choice to carry forward the Dhoom legacy.
