Ranbir Kapoor’s new look is connected with his next big role in Dhoom franchise (soon to be) Dhoom 4 Aditya Chopra and Vijay Krishna Acharya have said that they are trying to bring a freshness to the series on these lines which they are calling as Dhoom Reloaded.
Kapoor is also styled for his upcoming project, aiming to further the fresh angle and ensure the character is relatable today. As pointed out in thisIndia Today story, one of the reasons to look out for this change is that we don’t normally see a character to look at in sequel movies and especially not one who deviates with the sets of stylish, edgy leads the franchise has had.
There has been a long-standing speculation on Kapoors’ involvement in Dhoom 4. The fact that he gets in at all just goes to show how potent he is and what a perfect addition to the franchise. Aditya Chopra says Kapoor is the best person who will be able to continue Dhoom in his line of performing and his change of look will have an impact on how this new chapter will be played.
The Dhoom series is a quintessentially stylized, charismatic thing. John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan have been the lead actors here, each of them with distinctive looks which stood out. Kapoor has taken care of following suit in the same tradition, but he wants to maintain a touch of freshness as well.

Scheduling the Transformation
