Amid Dhoom 4 cast speculations, an old video of Abhishek Bachchan claiming it is his film goes viral

For a few days now, several reports have claimed that not Abhishek Bachchan but some other actor will headline Dhoom 4. While the makers did not announce anything officially, an old video of the actor claiming that the film belongs to him and Uday Chopra has gone viral. In the old interview, he shared, “Pardon the immodesty, but Uday Chopra and I are Dhoom. The franchise chronicles the ongoing adventures of Jai and Ali, that’s me and Uday. That’s the format of the franchise. The other characters may come and go. But we go on forever. Like Batman and Robin. Can there be a ‘Batman’ franchise without Batman?”

The actor shared, “From Dhoom to Dhoom 2 and Dhoom 3, it has been an amazing journey. To begin with, it was the story of the adventures of these three boys, me, Uday, and John Abraham. Our producer Aditya Chopra suggested we try to re-define the action genre in our cinema. We were all young, hopeful and enthusiastic, eager to try out this experiment. How were we to know it would turn out the way it did." Makers are yet to respond to any claims about Dhoom 4.
