3 Khans for the last Dhooms 3

After Aamir in the third, Adi Chopra plans next two parts of the franchise with Sallu and SRK

The first film made John Abraham one of the most sought after anti-heroes of recent times. The second, made us want to fall in love with the hunky thief Hrithik Roshan. And now, the third, promises to make Aamir Khan the new bad man in Bollywood.

YRF's most popular franchise Dhoom, has become bigger with every part. And if you thought after Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif, it couldn't get any bigger, think again. Mumbai Mirror has learnt that Aditya Chopra has already chalked out plans for Dhoom 4 and Dhoom 5. And 'surprising' is too mild a word to describe Adi Chopra's big plans.

This newspaper has learnt that Adi, who plans to wrap up the franchise with the fifth part, has already decided to cast Salman Khan in the fourth part and none other than his good friend and YRF favourite Shah Rukh Khan in the fifth. However, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will continue to play their respective roles of Inspector Jai Dixit and Ali. Vijay Krishna Acharya will be working on the script for both the parts.

A source from the trade told Mumbai Mirror, "Salman Khan wanted to work in a stylish action film. And Adi had discussed the possibility of Dhoom 4 with him. Salman had agreed. That's how they ended up working on Ek Tha Tiger. The script of Dhoom 4 is already locked. The final draft is in process."

However, work on the fifth part that will star SRK is still to begin. "Adi has his hands full with Yash Chopra's directorial at the moment. Adi wants to end the Dhoom franchise with its fifth part. The plans for the last two parts are currently being kept under wraps," added our source.

When contacted, the official spokesperson of Yash Raj Films rubbished such reports.
