After Befikre, Aditya Chopra to now direct the action-thriller Dhoom 4?
When director Aditya Chopra announced Befikre - it generated a huge amount of excitement considering the different and bold subject he picked for his film. Especially, as he opted for Ranveer Singh as the lead hero than his all-time favourite Shah Rukh Khan. But the film failed to be a blockbuster unlike Adi's previous films - be it Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge or the superhit Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
As per a daily, a trade expert said, "Well, definitely not reinvent' himself. He has had enough of that with Befikre. Clearly, Aditya Chopra is a brand and what audience expects is nothing, but unadulterated family fun with loads of entertainment. No one knows what really prompted him to try something like Befikre, which was neither entirely original (considering its similarities with Tamasha and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil), nor supremely entertaining. The biggest problem here was lack of content for family audiences. Now that's not what you expect when someone like Adi Chopra makes a film after eight long years."
An industry insider further added, "Aditya is too huge a Bollywood veteran to let one Befikre make him take a step back. As a matter of fact, what he needs to do next is instantly sprint ahead and deliver a biggie. What better way to do that than to pick up Yash Raj Films' biggest franchise, Dhoom?"
Dhoom series has always been known for its starcast. Considering Adi is wanting to work with his fav SRK, it can be a casting coup if he will get Khan on-board for the role of an antagonist.
"As for the leading lady, don't be surprised if Aditya's current favorite Vaani Kapoor makes the cut," the trade expert continued, "Given her current looks and styling, it won't be surprising if she ends up bagging a spot of one of the heroines in Dhoom: 4!"
This might turn as a steal deal for Aditya. Say what!!?
