Producer Aditya Chopra and director Vijay Krishna Acharya are considering casting either Oscar winner Natalie Portman, Penelope Cruz or Eva Longoria to play Khan's love interest.
A source told IANS: "The names you mention are definitely in the list. Yashraj has never worked with an international star in any of its films.
"The production house has now decided to take the Dhoom franchise to a global level. One safe and effective way of going global would be the casting of a Hollywood hottie."
The coveted role was originally offered to Katrina Kaif, but the Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara star was said to be uncomfortable with two scenes which required her to wear a bikini. Kaif subsequently stated that she had nothing to do with the film.
Yashraj's official spokesperson confirmed the reports, saying: "Yes, as of now some new international options are being considered."
