There have also been rumours about Abhishek being a part of Dhoom 4, that will reportedly have Shah Rukh Khan as the antagonist this time. The action franchise has seen different villains - John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan and most recently, Aamir Khan - in every installment.

"Till Adi doesn't tell me I would not believe any of the rumours," Abhishek added. The 42-year-old actor is excited to reunite with actor wife Aishwarya Rai after a gap of 10 years for Gulab Jamun.

"Gulab Jamun is a script that both Aishwarya and I agreed to do. We are looking forward to it. But we are still figuring out when to do it," he said.
