Will Aamir Khan return to the ‘Dhoom’ franchise? Here’s what we know… – Times of India

Since the racy thriller franchise centres on the antagonist, and the last Dhoom film came a decade ago, the makers are keen to attract newer and younger audience members with younger actors, like Ranbir Kapoor or Ranveer Singh. Aamir has reiterated his desire to do an action flick with YRF, the report in Mid-Day stated.

Last year, ETimes exclusively revealed how Aamir had decided to step down from playing the lead in the Spanish film ‘Campeones’ and produce the project instead. At a press conference, Aamir explained that Campeones was a heartwarming story, but he was stepping down from the project because he wanted to take a break and spend time with his family. It remains to be seen what Mr Perfectionist will eventually pick.

He was last seen in Advait Chandan’s ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ which also starred Kareena Kapoor in the lead role. The film was an official Hindi adaptation of the Hollywood film, ‘Forrest Gump’ which originally starred Tom Hanks in the lead role. The film failed to impress the audience and tanked at the box office.
