There was news that Aditya Chopra will direct the third installment of Dhoom.

But, the news is completely false.

A spokesperson from Yash Raj Films disregarded the reports and called it ridiculous.

"The least one expects is that news to be checked with us before going to print, it is utterly astonishing and nonsensical that despite a clear SMS, as well as a personal phone call, denying that the story was untrue, an irresponsible journalist still chose to carry a fabricated concoction in this morning's (Friday) Mumbai Mirror titled - Aditya Chopra to direct Dhoom 3' and that Shah Rukh Khan is playing a pivotal role in the movie," the representative said.

Earlier, it was reported that Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan would be seen playing a negative character in Dhoom 3.

Now, it's Shahrukh that has come into the picture.

But, YRF called it false.

'Dhoom' series from the Yash Raj banner has been a big hit.

The first part of the flick was directed by Sanjay Gadhvi and it had Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra, John Abraham. The movie hit the theatres in the year 2004.

After two years, the second part of the film appeared, and did very well at the box office.

As per reports, the third part of the film will go on the floors by March 2011.
