Dhoom 3 Speed will matter again

Dhoom 3 (Hindi: धूम ३ ;English: Blast 3) is an upcoming action thriller Hindi film, written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and produced by Aditya Chopra. The film will feature the two main characters portrayed by Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra from the Dhoom series while Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif will play lead villains.

Development

On 2 January 2011, Aditya Chopra confirmed that the third installment of the Dhoom series would begin principal photography by the end of 2011. Initially, the producers and Aamir Khan wanted to release the film on Christmas of 2012,^[6] but the plan was scrapped in favor of an early release date in 2013, mainly due to a forecast that a Christmas release would force a rushed post-production schedule, which was unfavorable given the high degree of technicality.^[7]

3D Format

Reportedly Aditya Chopra, the producer of the film, wanted to make the film in 3D, feeling that the success of Haunted, Ra.One, Don 2 & Dangerous Ishq, showed that Indian audiences have opened up to 3D cinema viewing, however actor Aamir Khan was not convinced as he thinks "making a 3D film needs more expertise".^[19] Some sources still maintain that the film will release in 3D.^[20] However, as of September 2012, there is no conformation of a 3-D release from YRF studios.

IMAX Format

Dhoom 3 will be the first Indian film to be released for IMAX screens in India. It will be played on a limited number of enhanced IMAX screens using the Digital Media Remastering (DMR) technology, besides of course in 2D and 3D versions.Mail Today reported on Friday, the international company IMAX Corporation plans to open 14 specialised theatres all across India by 2014. These theatres will have IMAX screens that allow films to be projected on a far more gigantic scale than the big screen has ever known.
During his visit on Thursday, Greg Foster, chairman and president, IMAX Filmed Entertainment, revealed his company's immediate plans as far as India is concerned. Foster said IMAX was collaborating with several big Bollywood filmmakers to expand base for the IMAX technology.
"IMAX symbolises a high-quality filmwatching experience and this vision of the company works well with the ethos of YRF, which has been synonymous with film entertainment in India over the last four decades. We are indeed happy to announce our association with Dhoom 3," Yash Chopra said.
"This has added to the anticipated thrill that Dhoom 3 promises. The IMAX experience will give the film an all-new edgeof-the-seat dimension," Chopra added.
"With its rivetting action set pieces, global locales and stunning visuals, it is an ideal film to take advantage of our immersive format as we begin our initiative with Indian-language/Bollywood films," Foster said.
