Akshay Kumar Reportedly Cast In 'Dhoom 4'

Akshay Kumar to take Yash Raj Films' Dhoom legacy forward? It looks like the actor has reportedly joined the cast of Dhoom 4 - the fourth instalment of the action-packed series, according to Bollywood analyst Atul Mohan. However, neither Akshay Kumar nor the makers have confirmed the news on social media.

The rumours of Akshay Kumar joining Dhoom 4 started last year when a media report stated that the khiladi will reportedly play an antagonist in the film but more on that later. Now, Mr Mohan tweeted on Monday that a "highly placed source" has confirmed Akshay Kumar's association with the project: "A highly placed source has revealed that Akshay Kumar has been confirmed for #Dhoom4.

Let's wait for official announcement soon."

The previous Dhoom instalments (produced by Aditya Chopra) feature stars such as Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Uday Chopra in pivotal roles. The aforementioned report by mid-day claimed that Akshay Kumar has been finalised to play an "underworld don" in the fourth instalment of Dhoom.
