Aditya Chopra's Dhoom 4 shelved after success of Pathaan?

Aditya Chopra's Dhoom series is one of the most popular franchises and fans have been waiting for the fourth installment of the film for years now.  If reports are to be believed, Dhoom 4 has taken a backseat as Aditya Chopra wants to concentrate on the spy universe. The reports also suggest that Aamir Khan has approached the makers as he is interested in doing the film but they want to cast a younger actor. According to PeepingMoon report, Aditya Chopra wants to concentrate on YRF Spy Universe, after the success of Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan. A source close to the development told the publication, "Yash Raj Films has gained confidence after Pathaan, and they intend to concentrate on franchise movies going forward, but at this moment, they are fully focused on the SPY UNIVERSE, which is expanding with each film.

Aditya Chopra wants to continue the Dhoom series, as it has been almost a decade since the last film, Dhoom 3, but he hasn’t taken a call on that yet. The writing for the fourth Dhoom film has been going on for years, but they haven't yet come up with the ideal storyline. Aditya and his crew are all presently concentrating only on the spy universe and have put the Dhoom series on the back foot for the time being." "While it’s true that Aditya Chopra is planning to take the Dhoom franchise ahead with younger stars, how can Ranbir be cast when not even the story has been written? It’s still in the scripting stage and does not seem to be happening before the end of 2024. Nothing concrete has been locked on that project as things stand today," the source added. Post 'Pathaan', Chopra is now gearing up for the release of 'Tiger 3' this Diwali. The film stars Katrina Kaif, Salman Khan and Emraan Hashmi. SRK is also touted to have a cameo in the film.
