Dhoom,
India's
version
of
the
hi-octane
thriller
films
is
one
of
the
most
successful
series
in
Bollywood.
The
much-talked-about
third
part
of
Dhoom
has
finally
got
the
booster
shot
it
needed.
It
is
now
official
that
Aamir
Khan
will
be
playing
the
villain
in
Dhoom
3.
Confirming
this,
Aamir
says,
"It
is
indeed
a
pleasure
to
be
working
with
Yashji
(Yash
Chopra)
and
Adi
(Aditya
Chopra)
once
again.
Dhoom
is
a
great
franchise,
most
entertaining
and
full
of
fun.
Every
time
I
hear
the
theme
tune
of
Dhoom
it
brings
a
swing
to
my
step.
Victor's
script
really
won
me
over
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
him."
Says
producer
Yash
Chopra,
"It's
a
great
pleasure
to
have
Aamir
working
with
YRF
once
again.
It's
even
more
special
that
he
will
be
doing
Dhoom
3.
I
am
terribly
excited
with
what
an
actor
like
Aamir
will
bring
to
the
Dhoom
franchise
with
his
unique
star
power
and
level
of
performance.
Adi
and
Victor
have
worked
over
a
year
to
bring
out,
what
I
can
now
confidently
say,
is
possibly
one
of
the
best
scripts
coming
out
of
YRF
and
I
am
sure
that
with
Aamir
and
Adi
together,
they
will
both
create
magic
to
give
our
audience
one
of
the
most
exciting
films
they
have
ever
seen."
Coming
to
the
rest
of
the
cast,
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Uday
Chopra
will
be
seen
in
their
previous
avatars
of
Jai
Dixit
and
Ali
respectively.
Produced
by
Aditya
Chopra,
Dhoom
3
will
be
directed
by
Vijay
Krishna
Acharya.
Vijay
is
the
writer
of
all
three
Dhoom
films
and
has
also
directed
Tashan.
The
film
will
begin
shooting
by
the
end
of
this
year
and
is
slated
for
a
2012
Christmas
release.
