'Befikre' Director Aditya Chopra To Regain His Midas Touch With Dhoom 4?
Aditya Chopra whose last movie Befikre was heavily panned by the critics, might take up Dhoom 4 as his next project to come back on the track.

Aditya
Chopra's
last
film
Befikre
starring
Ranveer
Singh
and
Vaani
Kapoor
created
a
stir
in
Bollywood
for
its
bold
take
on
modern-day
relationships.
Another
reason
why
the
film
became
the
talk
of
the
town
was
the
fact
that
Adi
opted
for
Ranveer
Singh
as
the
lead
hero
than
his
all-time
favourite
Shah
Rukh
Khan.
Unfortunately,
the
film
fizzled
at
the
box
office
unlike
Adi's
previous
films
-
be
it
Dilwale
Dulhaniya
Le
Jayenge
or
the
superhit
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi.
A
DNA
report
quoted
a
trade
analyst
saying,
"Well,
definitely
'not
reinvent'
himself.
He
has
had
enough
of
that
with
Befikre.
Clearly,
Aditya
Chopra
is
a
brand
and
what
audience
expects
is
nothing,
but
unadulterated
family
fun
with
loads
of
entertainment.
No
one
knows
what
really
prompted
him
to
try
something
like
Befikre,
which
was
neither
entirely
original
(considering
its
similarities
with
Tamasha
and
Ae
Dil
Hai
Mushkil),
nor
supremely
entertaining.
The
biggest
problem
here
was
lack
of
content
for
family
audiences.
Now
that's
not
what
you
expect
when
someone
like
Adi
Chopra
makes
a
film
after
eight
long
years."
An
industry
insider
further
added,
"Aditya
is
too
huge
a
Bollywood
veteran
to
let
one
Befikre
make
him
take
a
step
back.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
what
he
needs
to
do
next
is
instantly
sprint
ahead
and
deliver
a
biggie.
What
better
way
to
do
that
than
to
pick
up
Yash
Raj
Films'
biggest
franchise,
Dhoom?"
Dhoom
series
has
always
been
known
for
its
starcast.
Sometime
back
there
were
rumours
about
Salman
Khan
being
approached
to
play
the
anatgonist.
It
would
be
quite
interesting
to
see
if
Sallu
agrees
to
come
on
board
to
play
the
villain.
The
trade
analyst
further
continued,
"As
for
the
leading
lady,
don't
be
surprised
if
Aditya's
current
favorite
Vaani
Kapoor
makes
the
cut.
Given
her
current
looks
and
styling,
it
won't
be
surprising
if
she
ends
up
bagging
a
spot
of
one
of
the
heroines
in
Dhoom:
4!"
Guess
we
will
have
to
wait
for
sometime
to
unfold
the
mystery!
