Ayan Mukerji Steps Back From Dhoom 4 Reviving Brahmastra 2

Bollywood director Ayan Mukerji has parted ways with Dhoom 4, citing creative differences and a desire to focus on projects that offer more scope for romance and drama. The decision comes after the unexpected debacle of War 2, which Mukerji directed. According to reports, Mukerji expressed his reservations about the film during a closed-door meeting with producer Aditya Chopra, stating that films like War 2 and Dhoom 4 were never meant for him.

Mukerji's exit from Dhoom 4 is reportedly due to his limited creative input in the project. An insider revealed that Mukerji was merely executing the script written by Shridhar Raghavan, with little say in the script and screenplay. As a passionate filmmaker, Mukerji prefers to work on projects where he can exclusively focus on the written material and bring more to the screen than what's written.

With Dhoom 4 off his plate, Mukerji is now focusing on Brahmastra 2, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. The film is expected to go on floors in 2026, with the writing work already concluded and some polishing underway. Mukerji's enthusiasm for the project is evident, and fans are eagerly awaiting the film's release.

Meanwhile, Aditya Chopra is considering other directors for Dhoom 4, with some insiders suggesting that he should direct the film himself. An official confirmation from YRF is awaited. As Mukerji moves forward with Brahmastra 2, fans are excited to see what the director has in store for them.
