(Press Release)
A Statement from YRF Films is as follows
".. 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".
Produced by Aditya Chopra, DHOOM:3 is written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, who had also written DHOOM & DHOOM:2.
Apart from Aamir Khan, who plays the anti-hero in the film, and Katrina Kaif, both Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will continue in their now iconic roles of Jai Dixit and Ali.
The film is slated for a 2013 release.

Aamir Khan building body
(Meena Iyer, TNN)
Aamir Khan is in his recreation home in Panchgani. His sprawling bungalow, one of the most envious addresses in the hill station is the perfect hideout for Aamir who is on a diet and who is building his body for the role of the villain in Aditya Chopra's Dhoom-3.
The film is scheduled to go on floors in January 2012 and release around Christmas 2012.
Aamir has obviously carried a personal trainer with him and from what one hears the fastiduous actor is doing strenuous exercises to get those perfect abs.
A source says, He is also looking at the edit of Reema Kagti's next film. However his agenda in Panchgani right now is to get that perfect body.''

Dhoom 3 in 3D? Aamir hesitant...
It seems like Aditya Chopra wants to shoot Dhoom 3 in the 3D format. However Aamir Khan, who plays the negative lead in the film, seems to have reservations.
With the advent of the latest 3D technology which has caught the fancy of Hollywood in a big way, almost every third foreign film is being made in 3D. For many film-franchise which came up with their third part, like Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Step Up 3, Transformers Dark of the Moon, etc, the 3D just went in sync with the title. Now one big Bollywood film seems to be taking to the 3D format in its third installment. We are talking about Dhoom 3 .
Buzz is that Aditya Chopra has plans to take his ambitious film Dhoom 3 to another level by shooting it in the 3D format. The action-adventure genre of the film gives a lot of scope for 3D effects in the film. A source informs, "With the success of Haunted 3D , India's first film in the new 3D technology, the Yash Raj banner felt that Indian audiences have opened up to 3D cinema viewing. That made them more confident to experiment with the new format".
However, while Aditya Chopra seems quite upbeat about the idea, Aamir Khan, who plays the negative lead in the film, seems to have his reservations. "The 3D technology needs expertise and perhaps Aamir is not sure whether director Vijay Krishna Acharya (who last directed Tashan and wrote Dhoom 1 & 2 ) would be able to do justice to it", explains the source. Another reason could be the fact that with 3D coming into picture, technology takes precedence over performance. So perhaps Aamir's acting prowess might get camouflaged behind the technique.
Presently Aamir Khan is busy with the promotions of his next production Delhi Belly and once that film releases, he might have discussions with Aditya Chopra regarding shooting Dhoom 3 in 3D. We hope he agrees. D3 in 3D would be a visual delight!

Show me Aamir's contract: Salman
Even though Salman Khan agreed to work with Aditya Chopra for Kabir Khan's film, the actor who is childlike and straight-forward is sceptical of working with people outside his own comfort zone.
In other words, Salman is happier working with family and close friends because then he doesn't have to bother with things like remuneration and other details. His family (read: dad Salim Khan) protects him.
A source says, "However when it came to drawing up a contract for Adi's film (read: SRK's buddy), bhai was hesitant. He allegedly requested his manager to get him a copy of Aamir Khan's Dhoom-3 contract with the Chopras. Aamir's contract then became the template for bhai with some minor changes like the actual remuneration figure, release date etc."
Salman and Aamir are very close. They do confer with one another on several personal and professional issues. Neither of the two superstars is comfortable talking about their relationship, however one gets the feeling that they "lookout" for each other.

Aamir Khan to sing in Dhoom 3
Composer Pritam Chakraborty has set aside all his assignments from June to fully focus on the music of Dhoom 3 which will have a theme song for Aamir Khan that the actor will sing. The last time Aamir sang was the chartbuster Aati Kya khandala for Jatin-Lalit in Ghulam.
The over-committed music composer with a hit record for the last three years has been asked to concentrate only on the music of Dhoom 3 from June onwards by producer Aditya Chopra. He would have to complete all his pending assignments and make himself completely free for the YRF film.
Signature tune, please!
Last week Pritam had a closed-door meeting with Aditya Chopra at the Yashraj office where the soft-spoken producer stressed on creating a new sound for Dhoom 3 including a signature tune for Aamir's character. Adi has asked Pritam to come up with a song that would make the audience sit up and jump out of their seats every time Aamir strides across the screen.
Pritam confirms, "I've said no to several new assignments including Double Dhamaal. This is the first time in my entire career that I'd be working with Aamir Khan. We all know how special that makes this project." The biggest challenge is a theme song for AK's villainous character.
Upping the ante
Says Pritam, "The title song and music are of course integral to the music in Dhoom. But I have to go beyond that. There will be a quality of sound in Dhoom 3 that will make Dhoom and D:2 recede from the audiences' mind."
Pritam has already started working on the tunes. Apparently, Aamir will be sitting in for the rehearsals and recordings of the songs and would be singing a track for the film. Laughs Pritam, "Why not? Aamir sang beautifully in Ghulam.
The Aati Kya Khandala number is popular to this day. Let's also remember that the Dhoom 3 director Victor (Vijay Krishna Acharya) has a terrific music sense. Look at the songs he got from Vishal-Shekhar in Tashan!"
Pritam has been told that just banking on the successful Dhoom Machale track won't do in Dhoom 3.

Aamir Khan to star in 'Dhoom 3'?
A certain section of the media is spreading stories about Aamir rejecting Yash Raj Film's offer to work as a villain in Dhoom 3. Aamir, we hear is disturbed that these negative stories might lead to a fallout with the Yash Raj camp, and this does not suit his professional plans. So, Aamir is strongly refuting the news that he was approached for the film.
Recent reports suggest that Aamir was approached for Dhoom 3, which was to be directed by Sanjay Gadhvi. But our inside sources have another story to tell.
They said: "Aamir Khan was definitely approached by the prestigious banner but it was with the script of a romantic comedy and not Dhoom 3. Aamir had liked the subject. Yash Raj Films had planned to take the film on floors by October 2010. However, Aamir eventually declined the offer because he didn't want to begin shooting for it so early in October. Aamir, as we all know, is on a break and is not signing or shooting for any film till his home production Dhobi Ghaat-directed by wife Kiran Rao-releases in February 2011. Yash Raj is in a hurry to start working on the film and has been in talks with many A-list actors for the project."

Aamir, the baddie in Dhoom 3?
Aamir Khan has had just one dilemma in the last eight months. The actor has been obsessed with one thought — after 3 Idiots ,what next?
On July 9, BT broke the news that Aamir and filmmaker Yash Chopra had decided to work together. While the market buzzed with news of Aamir playing the villain in Dhoom 3, sources close to the actor denied it categorically. However, it is now known that Aamir met with Aditya Chopra, who gave him an one-line narration of the role of the villain the film. And, an insider reveals, “Aamir has loved what he heard. In all probability, he will listen to the script on August 13 when he returns from Melbourne and Delhi.”
Aamir doesn’t wish to confirm or deny these developments as yet because he will start reading the script next week after his Peepli Live releases. However, it is said that the actor is keen to play the baddie because what he heard from Adi has truly excited him. A trade source says, “After 3 Idiots Aamir needs something very challenging and dynamic. And he knows that playing the villain in a established franchise like the Dhoom series will create a huge buzz.”
Dhoom 3 in all likelihood may not be directed by Sanjay Gadhvi. Chances are that the film may have a director of Aamir’s choice. As of now, the Chopras are very excited because their villains have been the most talked about characters in the Dhoom series. The first one had John Abraham, the second had Hrithk Roshan, and if they get Aamir for the third, it will be the crowning glory.
Aamir has earlier played a baddie in Raakh and Fanaa. But reports say that the villain of Dhoom 3 will be a very stylised character. And he is likely to make as much impact as Gabbar Singh of Sholay or Dr Mogambo from Mr India.

Vidya Balan with Aamir in Yash Raj film?
There is a strong buzz in the industry circles that Vidya Balan has been signed by Yash Chopra for his directorial next. It is the same project which was supposed to star Aamir Khan along with Preity Zinta. But while, Aamir is still being non-committal about being approached for the project, other news making the rounds is that Preity has been replaced by Vidya Balan.Sources are claiming that it is a love story spanning ages, but is completely different from Chopra’s last directorial effort Veer Zara. Incidentally, Veer Zara also had its lead pair Shahrukh Khan and Preity Zinta playing characters both young and old. Sources further claim that Yash Chopra intends to begin this film by early 2010 and make it a grand Diwali 2010 release. He will be finally directing a film after 6 years since he directed Veer Zara (2004).
While there has been no confirmation from both Vidya Balan or Yash Raj Films yet, we can only imagine right now what crackling chemistry it would be of Aamir and Vidya, and to top it all with romance king Yash Chopra directing it.

Aditya Chopra’s casting coup
Aditya Chopra’s casting coup
FILMMAKER ADITYA Chopra, is on the verge of pulling off a casting coup! He’s all set to bring in two self-styled perfectionists of Bollywood —Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan together for his next project and for the first time.
Even though there is no formal confirmation regarding the same from any of the concerned parties, sources close to the Chopra camp insist that the ‘coming together of Hrithik and Aamir is almost certain’.
Though Hrithik, who is busy shooting for Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Jodha Akbar could not be contacted, his secretary Ashok Vasodia gave his usual diplomatic answer: “Hrithik and Adi are good friends. They keep talking as they are friends. And they have been talking about something. If Adi makes a film, Hrithik will surely feature in it.”
However, he doesn’t fail to mention that nothing has been formalised as yet! Hrithik is totally involved with the shooting of his magnum opus Jodha Akbar, says Ashok. After which Hrithik will fly to the UK for IFFA and then take a holiday with his parents, wife and son till July 25, when he returns to Mumbai to complete the shooting and dubbing of Jodha Akbar to be released in October.
Aamir Khan at present has just started shooting for the remake of Tamil superhit Ghajini (yet untitled) and Mani Ratnam’s Lajjo. Lajjo had been mired in controversy for long, owing to alleged creative differences between Aamir and Ratnam. However, the project has finally kick-started. And according to sources close to the Khan, ‘it would take almost a couple of months for the completion of both the projects.’
So, that means both Hrithik and Aamir will be free to consider films and start talks by post September.
Aamir’s last project with the Yash Raj was Fanaa while Hrithik’s was Dhoom II. And both the projects have earned the production house rich dividends. Dhoom II and Fanna were amongst the highest grossers of last year, and the successes of both the films have been attributed to a great extent to the power-packed performances of Aamir and Hrithik respectively. Now, if Aditya —who is one of the most successful producers in the industry and who has taken the Yash Raj banner to new heights —manages to bring together these powerhouse performers together, it won’t be anything short of sheer magic!
FILMMAKER ADITYA Chopra, is on the verge of pulling off a casting coup! He’s all set to bring in two self-styled perfectionists of Bollywood —Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan together for his next project and for the first time.
Even though there is no formal confirmation regarding the same from any of the concerned parties, sources close to the Chopra camp insist that the ‘coming together of Hrithik and Aamir is almost certain’.
Though Hrithik, who is busy shooting for Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Jodha Akbar could not be contacted, his secretary Ashok Vasodia gave his usual diplomatic answer: “Hrithik and Adi are good friends. They keep talking as they are friends. And they have been talking about something. If Adi makes a film, Hrithik will surely feature in it.”
However, he doesn’t fail to mention that nothing has been formalised as yet! Hrithik is totally involved with the shooting of his magnum opus Jodha Akbar, says Ashok. After which Hrithik will fly to the UK for IFFA and then take a holiday with his parents, wife and son till July 25, when he returns to Mumbai to complete the shooting and dubbing of Jodha Akbar to be released in October.
Aamir Khan at present has just started shooting for the remake of Tamil superhit Ghajini (yet untitled) and Mani Ratnam’s Lajjo. Lajjo had been mired in controversy for long, owing to alleged creative differences between Aamir and Ratnam. However, the project has finally kick-started. And according to sources close to the Khan, ‘it would take almost a couple of months for the completion of both the projects.’
So, that means both Hrithik and Aamir will be free to consider films and start talks by post September.
Aamir’s last project with the Yash Raj was Fanaa while Hrithik’s was Dhoom II. And both the projects have earned the production house rich dividends. Dhoom II and Fanna were amongst the highest grossers of last year, and the successes of both the films have been attributed to a great extent to the power-packed performances of Aamir and Hrithik respectively. Now, if Aditya —who is one of the most successful producers in the industry and who has taken the Yash Raj banner to new heights —manages to bring together these powerhouse performers together, it won’t be anything short of sheer magic!
