Aamir Khan ready for onscreen villainy in 'Dhoom 3'!

Aamir Khan never steps forth on a new venture without sufficient preparation. That explains why he’s taken so long in giving his nod to the filming of Dhoom 3. The superstar has been preparing arduously for his role in the film. He’s been working out rigorously and learning the acrobatics as well. Understandably he plays a sly thief who keeps giving the copper (Abhishek Bachchan) the slip with his elusive ways. While other actors had begun filming for Dhoom 3 quite some time back, Aamir Khan had been dithering. Known to do one project at a time, he’s been caught up with the filming of the climax of Reema Kagti’s film Talaash, following by his conscience-rattler of a show, Satyamev Jayate. Now, at long last, Aamir Khan has told producer Aditya Chopra that he’s ready to shoot for Dhoom 3 in which he pairs with Katrina Kaif. From what we hear, Aamir Khan will be available for shoot from June 29 onwards. He will first shoot for five days at Yash Raj Studios in Andheri, but then will fly to Chicago to film the action sequences. It appears that producer Aditya Chopra, director Victor Acharya and Aamir Khan are of unanimous view that a majority of the actor’s scenes should be filmed in Chicago, because they want to keep secret the character’s look.

Aamir Khan wants Rajinikanth in ‘Dhoom 3’!

                                                                 Aamir Khan & Rajnikant

Now Aamir Khan wants to work with Rajinikanth. The actor is very keen to rope in the superstar for his filmDhoom 3. Apparently he is even trying to meet Rajini Sir to convince him to star in the film. 

However, it seems not a herculean task to get the star because he is game for challenges, but after his health scare last year Rajini is quite choosy about the projects. Moreover, his film Kochadaiyaan is into making. 

Well, it’s not only Aamir Khan rooting for Rajini in Dhoom 3, but also producer Aditya Chopra. As a source is quoted as saying, “Aamir is working extremely hard on perfecting his body as he plays a gymnast in the film. He is the villain, but apparently there is scope for one more negative character in the film. And this is where everyone thought to take the Dhoom franchise to the next level, if they can get the superstar for this role it will really be bigger and better for the film.” 

There is no doubt that Rajinikanth has a mass following, which is very tough to beat for any actor in B-Town. Also he is blessed with an awesome on-screen persona and has an impeccable style. Bollywood actors like Aishwarya Rai and Shahrukh Khan have already worked with him, whileDeepika Padukone managed her dates to sign a Rajini film, and now Aamir Khan is waiting in the queue. 

It’s learnt that Aamir has always been an ardent admirer of the superstar, and would also like to share screen space with him. 

Aamir Khan keeps his 'Dhoom 3' look simple!

                                                                Aamir Khan In Movie Dhoom 3


No zany hairdo. No bulging biceps. Aamir Khan keeps his look for Yash Raj Film’s Dhoom 3 simple and very basic. We reckon he plays a deceptive baddie. 

Aamir Khan has started shooting for Dhoom 3 and says that he is keeping his looks simple for his anti-hero role in the actioner. 

It has been reported that the actor was not happy with his hair style in the movie. But now he seems satisfied. 

"I have started shooting for 'Dhoom 3' and this is my hair style for the film. It is not very different," Aamir Khan, who was sporting short cropped hair, told reporters Wednesday at a press conference at the Yash Raj Studios, where he is shooting the film. 

Dressed in a grey track pants, pink T-shirt and Kolhapuri chappals, the actor was looking his casual best. He was also seen wearing studs in his ears. 

"Dhoom 3" will also see Katrina Kaif along with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra who will be seen reprising roles of Jai Dixit and Ali. 

The film is being produced by Aditya Chopra and written by Vijay Krishna Acharya, who had scripted earlier films as well. 

Aamir Khan's midas touch for the Dhoom franchise

With the filming for Dhoom 3 underway, actor Uday Chopra feels that the pressure is on Aamir Khan to make the Dhoom franchise bigger. 

Actor Uday Chopra hopes Aamir Khan's Midas touch works for the third "Dhoom" franchise. Aamir plays the bad man in Dhoom 3, which will see Abhishek Bachchan and Uday reprising their roles as Jai Dixit and Ali, respectively. 

"Now the pressure is on Aamir. With Aamir, whatever he touches turns to gold and with him in a brand like 'Dhoom', it makes it bigger than anything else. We are all excited," Uday Chopra told IANS. 

The first two movies of the "Dhoom" series found stupendous success. While John Abraham played the conman in the first instalment, released in 2004, Hrithik Roshan took the baton for the 2006 film "Dhoom 2". 

Apart from Aamir Khan, the new entry in the "Dhoom" series is actress Katrina Kaif. Produced by Aditya Chopra, Dhoom 3 is slated to release in 2013. 

Uday, who is focusing more on the Hollywood wing of his home banner, has been preparing for the movie. He even ended up in an accident while practicing a bike stunt called 'stoppie', but he says he is fine now. 

"I was shooting for 'Dhoom' on the motorcycle and I sprained my leg. It wasn't that bad," he said. 

Other than this, he says he doesn't need to prepare much because he has played the role twice and is comfortable with it now. 

"I'm growing my hair and doing my own stunts. Luckily, I have done this role before, so I don't have to do too much of preparation. I just need to learn my lines and show up," he said. 

Jai and Ali have been sporting the same look since "Dhoom" and "Dhoom 2" and will continue to do so in the next movie as well. Abhishek says its important to stick to the original characteristics of their parts. 

"The film needs to cater to a select audience and has a loyal fan base. I don't think 'Dhoom' should go far away from that. Jai and Ali should not look completely different from what they have always looked," he said. 

"I don't want to lose the image the audience has of Jai Dixit. If I come suddenly with a different body and different clothes, Jai will lose his characteristics. Minor cosmetic changes are fine, but I would not like to change Jai and Ali too much," Abhishek Bachchan said.

WELCOME TABRETT BETHELL

Just like her exotic name, this Australian beauty is insanely hot and drop-dead gorgeous. Yash Raj Films introduces to Bollywood the international TV actress Tabrett Bethell. The siren will be seen romancing Aamir Khan in the film Dhoom 3.  Earlier there was a buzz that the makers were keen to cast Penelope Cruz or Natalie Portman or Eva Longoria as the female lead opposite Aamir Khan. However, it seems that the dream of casting an A-list Hollywood actress didn’t work out, and Tabrett Bethell was signed in for Dhoom 3. Uday Chopra has already welcomed her on twitter, “Please welcome the lovely @TabrettBethell who joins the cast of Dhoom 3 today.” Since Aamir plays a villain and Katrina Kaif too has a character with grey shades, Tabrett Bethell will take the glamour bar up a notch with her alluring look.  Tabrett Bethell is a popular face on Australian TV; she is best known for portraying the character Cara in the television series Legend of the Seeker. Before taking the plunge into acting, she worked as a fashion model since she was 16. Tabrett Bethell was also a cheerleader for the National Rugby League (NRL). Wondering about her unusual name! Actually, Tabrett is named after a street in Australia, something that happened when her parents disagreed on what to name her while she still was at the hospital. It’s learnt that her father went for a drive, saw the name of the street (Tabrett Street) and returned to the hospital to suggest it to her mother. Both finally agreed to name her Tabrett. The actress is said to be very close friends with her Legend of the Seeker co-actor, Bridget Regan.

I'll miss directing 'Dhoom 3': Sanjay Gadhvi

                                                                      sanjay gadhvi


Moving away from the third instalment of the popular "Dhoom" franchise was a conscious decision for Sanjay Gadhvi, but the director admits he will definitely miss being a part of "Dhoom 3". 

"Dhoom 3", a Yash Raj Films project, is being shot in Chicago with Aamir Khan in the lead and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, while Gadhvi is busy promoting his new film " Ajab Gazabb Love" in India.

"I will definitely miss being a part of 'Dhoom 3'as it is very close to my heart. There is so much warmth and affection related to it - whether its with Aditya Chopra or the cast. This is the film which gave me recognition," Gadhvi told IANS.

"It was a consious decision to not direct 'Dhoom 3' as I didn't want to get stuck in making the same kind of cinema. I didn't want to go on doing the same thing again and again," he added.

The previous two films of "Dhoom" franchise turned out to be blockbusters with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra reprising their roles as ACP Jai Dixit and Ali, respectively. Gadhvi hopes the third instalment becomes a bigger hit.

"If the makers of 'Dhoom' franchise believe that it has the potential to be made into a third film, it is a proud moment for me, and I wish that the third film is a bigger blockbuster than the previous two films," he added.

The director started his career in 2001 with "Tere Liye". He later went on to make films like"Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai", "Dhoom", "Dhoom 2" and "Kidnap". He has now helmed romantic comedy "Ajab Gazabb Love", which features Jackky Bhagnani and southern actress Neha Subbaiah.

It's a risk, but so what, says Gadhvi.

"I like to take risks. All the films that I have made so far are different from one another. Rather than just being experimental, I try to focus more on strategising," he said.

With "Ajab Gazabb Love", Gadhvi ventures into a new genre of romantic comedies.

"I am constantly searching for new things. I had been playing with the genre in some way or the other in my films, though not in a big way. I was toying with the idea of romantic comedies for long and when this script came to me, it appealed to me instantly and I agreed to helm it," he said.

Influence

The movie had a significant cultural impact among urban Indian youth. It was blamed for an increase in incidents of street racing, bike-borne theft & stunting on public roads. Besides, there was a new impetus to the bike-modifying scene with youth going in for modifications to their bikes ranging from free flow exhaust systems to addition of NOS kits. These, in turn, gave rise to incidents of speeding & breakage of traffic rules on the already unruly Indian streets.
