Sanjay Gadhvi's Dhoom franchise walked so YRF Spy Universe could run: Here's what made its villains far cooler
Hindustan TimesBefore John Abraham and Hrithik Roshan were Jim and Kabir respectively, they were Kabir in Sanjay Gadhvi's Dhoom and Aaryan in the late filmmaker's Dhoom 2. John Abraham as Kabir in Dhoom and Hrithik Roshan as Aaryan in Dhoom 2 Baddy cool John may have walked into Sidharth Anand's Pathaan with a silhouette walk set to the whistling of Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon to underline his backstory, but his OG entry sequence remains when he removes his biker helmet while riding a Hayabusa, revealing his long locks and childish smirk, before throwing the helmet at the wheels of the police jeep chasing him, overturning his threat in the process. No boring backstory Like Sidharth Anand, Ali Abbas Zafar, Maneesh Sharma, and Ayan Mukerji, the custodians of the YRF Spy Universe, Sanjay Gadhvi also started his career with a romantic comedy before diving deep into an action franchise. Dhoom walked so YRF Spy Universe could run, or even take a flight.
