Prabhas or hrithik in "Dhoom Reloaded" ?

The fourth movie in the Dhoom franchise is called "Dhoom Reloaded" according to the latest poster revealed on Yash Raj Films official Twitter handle.

So far there has been a lot of speculation about the cast. According to news reports from October, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Amitabh Bachchan have signed on for the fourth installment and if rumours are to be believed then it is likely that Baahubali star Prabhas will also make his Bollywood debut with this movie.

The Hindustan Times also reported a source as saying in October, "A while ago, film-maker Aditya Chopra, director Vijay Krishna Acharya and other members of Aditya's production house had asked for a special screening of Baahubali. It was while watching the film that they thought of casting Prabhas. The Dhoom franchise is such where the villain, who is the hero, is supposed to be strong and brawny. Prabhas fits the requirements perfectly. Moreover, the dubbed version of Baahubali, too, got a tremendous box-office response, thus proving that he has a pan-India appeal."

However up till now the film makers have refrained from announcing anything regarding the film except this tweet.

A Baahubali review video without Prabhas

Tollywood media on one hand is praising Baahubali for featuring in the Facebook Year 2015 review video. Though the video talks much about ISIS bringing down a plane, Charlie Hebedo attack, Australia's cricket world cup feat, Paris Terror Attacks and much more, Indian cinema lovers are fascinated that FB equated Baahubali as an unforgettable event.

For media this is a news, but for Prabhas fans, they are little upset. None of the Baahubali's success cakes have given a proper share to Prabhas is what fans feel. When the movie got released in Bollywood, it's Rajamouli who got all the attention. Post the release, people spoke volumes about Sivagami and Kattappa characters, while debates on Avantika's sexposing are other side. Even in Facebook review video, a shot of Tamanna flaunting her milky white curves is shown but not an image of Prabhas. 

"No where in Baahubali's success Prabhas is seen, except Mahindra roping him in for an ad. While Prabhas is face of the movie, he never walked away with fame for the film", says a Prabhas fan. What do you say folks?
