Parineeti Chopra, who created buzz with her newly toned figure last month, has reportedly joined the cast of the fourth installment in the hit "Dhoom" franchise, according to Filmfare.

Although an official confirmation is still pending from Yash Raj Films, the project would be huge for Chopra, who hasn't been seen in anything since "Kill Dil" bombed at the box-office. Chopra was shortlisted as one of the leading ladies for Salman Khan's "Sultan," but Anushka Sharma bagged the role instead.

If the rumors are true, it would be interesting to see Chopra alongside Hrithik Roshan in the high-octane, action-packed franchise. Earlier films in the series have featured the likes of Esha Deol, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Bipasha Basu and Katrina Kaif, according to India Today.

Earlier, there was also speculation that south Indian actor Prabhas of "Baahubali" fame was roped in for "Dhoom 4," as HNGN previously reported.

"Dhoom 4" will be directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, who also headed "Dhoom 3," which went on to become the second highest grossing film in Indian cinema history, raking in $89 million in worldwide box-office collections.
