Mumbai, August 28 - Other than the Spy Universe, if there is one film, backed by Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films, which has been in huge demand is the action thriller Dhoom. The last film in this blockbuster franchise was Aamir Khan-led Dhoom 3, released in 2013.

Over the years since the third instalment, there have been social media trends time and again regarding the 4th instalment of the franchise. Interestingly Dhoom 4 was officially confirmed by the studio shortly after the release of the Dhoom 3. Still, for some reasons known to only YRF, the film's production never took place.

Now, according to the report in Bollywood Hungama, YRF is preceding the early development of Dhoom 4 and is looking at director Ayan Mukerji as a potential name to helm it.

The report further states that Ayan has sought some time to think as he also has the next films in the Brahmastra franchise. The filmmaker wishes to focus on War 2 at the moment, and then discuss the future of Brahmastra with Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Jio Studios, before committing to Dhoom 4.
