Shooting of Hindi film Dhoom:3 will begin in May and actor Aamir Khan will join the schedule in June, said Yash Raj Films (YRF) on Wednesday.

A leading morning broadsheet recently said that the shooting of Dhoom:3 has been delayed due to the unavailability of Aamir.

However, Yash Raj Films was quick to rectify it.

A Yash Raj Films spokesperson said, "It is unfortunate that without checking, a leading morning broadsheet irresponsibly declared that the shooting of Dhoom:3 had been indefinitely postponed and that it would be shot after Aamir Khan completes certain other future commitments. This is absolutely baseless."

"Dhoom:3 starts shooting in May 2012 and Aamir Khan joins the schedule in June as per plan, " the spokesperson said.

Produced by Aditya Chopra, Dhoom:3 is written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, who had also written Dhoom and Dhoom:2.

Apart from Aamir, who plays the anti-hero in the film, and Katrina Kaif, both Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will continue in their roles of Jai Dixit and Ali.

The film is slated for a 2013 release.
