Action sequence
Devgn handled the 'Dhamaal 4' cliff scene with extra care
Recently, the shoot of Dhamaal 4 had hit a bump during a risky cliff sequence at Malshej Ghat, leaving the cast—especially Warsi—concerned. After the idea of using VFX for the scene was dropped, Devgn stepped in to help execute the scene with action director RP Yadav, tweaking movements, ensuring harnesses, safety nets, and a medical unit were all in place. Warsi later praised Devgn's planning, saying they finished a 15-day stunt sequence in just four days.
Franchise success
'Total Dhamaal' performed well at the box office
The third film in the franchise, Total Dhamaal, was directed by Kumar and released in 2019. Though the movie received mixed reviews, it was a box-office success. Given the success of the earlier films, fans have high expectations from the upcoming Dhamaal 4. The franchise is well-known for its unique blend of comedy and adventure and has become a fan-favorite among Bollywood lovers.
