The
news
of
Aamir
Khan
being
roped
in
to
play
the
villain
in
Dhoom
3
was
a
rage
last
week.
However,
the
big
question
since
then
has
been,
who
will
be
signed
as
the
lead
actress
opposite
him.
Though
a
number
of
names
were
being
tossed
around
by
the
media,
we
learnt
from
its
sources
that
Katrina
Kaif
will
be
playing
the
female
lead
in
Dhoom
3.

Katrina,
who
is
currently
doing
YRF's
Mere
Brother
Ki
Dulhan,
has
beaten
the
other
contenders
to
clinch
the
role.
Though
the
rest
of
the
cast,
namely
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Uday
Chopra
remains
unchanged,
Aamir
and
Katrina's
addition
to
the
cast
certainly
heats
things
up.
Considering
the
chemistry
between
Aamir
and
Katrina,
the
duo
has
put
all
questions
to
rest,
with
their
photographic
rendition
of
the
classic
film
Pyaasa
that
garnered
positive
response
from
fans
and
industry
folk
alike.
Sources
also
said
that
Aamir
won't
be
charging
his
usual
fee
for
Dhoom
3.
Instead,
he
will
have
a
stake
in
the
profits
of
the
film.
To
be
precise,
Aamir
will
have
a
total
of
33%
stake
in
the
profits
of
the
film.
This
will
be
the
first
time
that
YRF
has
permitted
such
sharing.
However,
though
this
may
be
a
first
for
the
production
house,
Aamir
has
cut
down
his
share
from
the
usual
40%
that
he
had
for
the
film
3
Idiots.
When
we
contacted,
Rafiq
Gangjee
from
YRF
replied,
"The
casting
for
the
girls
of
Dhoom
3
has
not
started.
Also,
YRF
does
not
discuss
artist
contracts
and
agreements."
While
Yash
Raj
Films
refrains
to
comment
on
this,
we
can
safely
bet
that
with
Katrina
being
signed
on
for
Dhoom
3,
and
Aamir
adding
another
shade
to
the
film
with
his
talent,
the
high
octane
torque
film
promises
to
be
more
than
just
fast
bikes.
