Hrithik and Yash Raj are teaming again. According to insiders, the deal has already been signed and the action thriller will be along the lines of the Dhoom series. It is learnt that this film will be on bigger scale than Dhoom in terms of action, suspense and stunts.

While Hrithik's Bang Bang had received poor reviews, the action sequences were appreciated and with the YRF film, the actor wants to go a step further. "If Bang Bang's acton sequences had set your heart pumping, then this will make it skip several beats", the source adds. "Dhoom 3 had Aamir playing the villain and it made more money. But undoubtedly, it was Hrithik's Dhoom 2 which is considered a better film. Dhoom 2 still stands out as the best instalment in the franchise. That's why Adi has made plans of getting him on board for this action film."

So why not a Dhoom 4 instead? Because Aditya Chopra has 'bigger plans' claims the source. "Dhoom has been done. Now there needs to be another series that sends the audiences pulse racing. The film that Adi has planned with Hrithik, will be turned nto a franchise film in the future. But unlike Dhoom, this will have only Hrithik in it as the central character in its sequels as well, like a Dabangg and Krrish."

Hrithik who's now busy shooting for Ashutosh Gowariker's epic period romance Mohenjo Daro will need to flaunt a chiseled body yet another time in the YRF series. "Hrithik has always been one of the fittest actors but with this slick action thriller, he is expected to follow a strict workout regimen and achieve a particular body shape- one which people have never seen him in before"

The yet to be titled action flick will be helmed by Dhoom 3 director Vijay Krishna Acharya and 'cutting edge technology will be used to design the action sequences in the film'. "The makers are already in talks with some of the biggest international stunt experts from Hollywood and are planning to make it more like an international film on a lavish budget". Announcements of the same will be made soon.
