Ali Abbas Zafar is one of the most successful filmmakers from the current crop and nobody has an ounce of doubt about it. In the past four years, the talented filmmaker has delivered three all-time blockbusters: Sultan (2016), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and Bharat (2019). Apart from him, the common factor in all his directorial ventures in superstar Salman Khan.
Ali and Salman make for one of the most successful director-actor duos in Bollywood. Rumours were rife lately that after the release of Bharat, Ali will call the shots for Salman Khan’s another South Korean remake, Veteran. But since Khan his busy with his upcoming projects such as Dabangg 3, Inshallah and Kick 2, he seems unable to manage his dates for yet another heavy film like the Veteran remake.
The latest we hear that after working with Salman Khan on three successful films, Ali Abbas Zafar is now set to team up with superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Yes, you heard that absolutely right! Buzz has it that Ali will direct SRK in Dhoom 4, the fourth instalment of the highly successful Hindi film franchise Dhoom which began in 2004.
After the debacle of Zero (2018), Shah Rukh Khan has not signed any film. While the actor is devoting a lot of time to strengthen his production house, Red Chillies Entertainment, fans are curious to know what he is next starring in. Though there is no official confirmation, rumours are strong that Yash Raj Films is bankrolling Dhoom 4 for him with Ali Abbas Zafar coming onboard to helm the project.
Ali Abbas Zafar, who began his journey with Yash Raj Films, is known for pulling off larger-than-life films. The makers at YRF are also confident about his directorial abilities and hence they are keen to pass on to the directorial baton to him from Vijay Krishna Acharya who is still trying to come to terms with the epic failure of his Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan starrer Thugs of Hindostan (2018).
Well, we are surely excited about Ali Abbas Zafar calling the shots for Dhoom 4. However, an official announcement is awaited.
