Emraan Hashmi confirms that 'Murder 4' is in the pipeline

Emraan Hashmi says he will star in the fourth part of the popular thriller Murder after being a part of the first and second instalment.

The first part of Murder, directed by Anurag Basu, released in 2004 saw Emraan starring opposite Mallika Sherawat. It was a breakthrough film in the Jannat actor's career, who had made his debut in Footpath.

"Murder 4 is on the pipelines, they are working on the script. It is going to happen for sure but I don't know exactly about when the film will begin," Emraan said.

The 37-year-old actor starred in its sequel, Murder 2 in 2011 opposite Jacqueline Fernandez. Murder 3, however, featured Randeep Hooda in the lead.

The Azhar actor will also return to the horror franchise, Raaz with the fourth part of the series scheduled to release this year."Raaz 4 will be a spook fest the way horror films are supposed to be. It will definitely take the horror genre more forward in India."
