Aamir Khan sticks to Christmas release for Dhoom:3

Christmas seems to be lucky for Aamir Khan. He’s been part of three back-to-back blockbusters that released during the Christmas weekend in the past — Taare Zameen Par (2007), Ghajini (2008) and 3 Idiots (2009). And although the actor doesn’t have a release this year, if all goes well next movie, Dhoom 3, will hit theatres during Christmas next year.

Meanwhile, Rajkumar Hirani’s P.K., which was earlier rumoured to have a year-end release, might not be completed on time. “Aamir has already completed a long shooting schedule for Dhoom:3 in Chicago. He was supposed to start shooting for P.K. in January, but in all likelihood, the first half of 2013 will be devoted to wrapping up Dhoom:3. As a result, P.K. might not be completed in time for a Christmas release,” says a trade insider.

Although the film hasn’t gone on the floors yet, P.K. has already been making news. Besides the casting, the film’s shooting dates have also been in the news. The project was supposed to take off in October, but it didn’t start on schedule. Later, the director had stated that he would start the shoot in December with leading lady Anushka Sharma. But now it’s believed that the film will hit the floors only by mid-January 2013.

Other than Anushka, the film also stars TV actor Sushant Singh Rajput. In the past, names such as Imran Khan and Ranbir Kapoor were also doing the rounds for Sushant’s part. “Everyone knows that Aamir wants to focus on one movie at a time. So, he isn’t in a big hurry to start P.K. The movie will be shot in and around Rajasthan and Delhi,” says the source.

On the other hand, we’ve heard that the Dhoom:3 producers Yash Raj Films (YRF) have huge plans for the film’s release. The multi-starrer project also features Katrina Kaif, Jackie Shroff, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra.

Despite repeated attempts, Raju Hirani and YRF remained unavailable for a comment.

Dhoom 3: Katrina Kaif chooses Shah Rukh Khan over Aamir Khan

Bollywood Actor Katrina Kaif is torn between the starry demands of Bollywood's two superstars. While Aamir Khan is waiting for Katrina in Chicago to practice his stunts for Dhoom 3 with her, Shah Rukh Khan, who is shooting Yash Chopra's untitled project in Ladakh, wants Katrina with him to shoot some 'complex scenes'.

Katrina, we hear, was supposed to shoot for two weeks with Shah Rukh in Ladakh and then head to Chicago to join Aamir Khan for two weeks. Being the absolute perfectionist when it comes to his craft, Aamir wanted the gorgeous actor with him in the American city to perfect their stunts and to be in sync with each other. Unfortunately, on SRK's insistence, Katrina now needs to stay in Ladakh for few more days.

Apparently, Shah Rukh has some solo scenes to shoot and Katrina's presence is not required, yet SRK feels he will be able to focus better for the complicated scenes if Katrina is by his side.

It is certainly Aamir Khan's loss. According to the original plan, we are told, Aamir wanted to practice some important sequences with Katrina. This would have given the two actors enough time and scope to warm up to each and behaving naturally onscreen.

But now when Katrina heads to Chicago, she might have to face the camera straightaway, without rehearsals.

Now this episode might spur yet another controversy about the battle between the two Khans, and in all probability one can easily blame SRK for holding Kat back in Ladakh. But we think Aamir is equally responsible for not having enough time to rehearse his scenes with Katrina. Remember, it was he who postponed the shoot of Dhoom 3 due to his other commitments.

But we are sure that the Perfectionist Khan will make up for the loss by giving his best and by drawing a superlative performance out of Kat when she joins him. Right, Aamir?

Katrina Kaif to sing for A R Rahman

 Katrina Kaif's singing aspirations just got bigger. While she was all set to lend her voice to Yash Raj Films' Dhoom 3, the latest is she has put her original plan on hold, and will instead sing a romantic number penned by Gulzar and composed by A R Rahman for Yash Chopra's directorial comeback.

A close friend of Kat told us, "No half-measures for Katrina these days. She had earlier decided to sing for Yash Raj's Dhoom 3 with about a week of rehearsals thrown in. But now, she has grown more ambitious and wants to try out a more complex singing challenge the other film directed by Yash Chopra has thrown at her."

The friend revealed Kat had always wanted to sing but shied away from doing so in public. Last year, when she recited nursery rhymes for a charity album composed by A R Rahman, she bonded with the music composer and the idea of her singing in a film for the 'Mozart of Madras' took seed.

Said the friend, "Earlier, Kat had a persistent offer from Ali Zafar to sing with him for his private album. He was keen but she begged off. Then came the chance to sing in Dhoom 3, which she liked. But now, the prospect of singing a dreamy romantic song for a Yash Raj film, written by Gulzar and composed by A R Rahman has caught her fancy."

As things stand, Katrina will sing for the untitled film before Dhoom 3, depending on her level of preparation. Interestingly, rival Priyanka Chopra will be heard singing in Apoorva Lakhia's Zanjeer. We tried to get in touch with Katrina. However, she remained unavailable for comment.

It is a delight to work with Shah Rukh Khan: Katrina

She was almost written off when she arrived in Bollywood. Nearly a decade later, with three Yash Raj projects, three reigning Khans as her co-stars and endorsements galore, actress Katrina Kaif says reality is far better than dreams.

Katrina, 27, has teamed up with ex-boyfriend Salman Khan in " Ek Tha Tiger", Aamir Khan in " Dhoom 3" and Shah Rukh Khan for an untitled film -- all are being made under Yash Raj Films (YRF).

Not just that. Veteran director Yash Chopra is directing her film with Shah Rukh.

"Yashji undoubtedly is the king of romance and I have always admired the way he presents his heroines. It was always a dream to work with him and the reality is even better," Katrina, who was brought up in Britain and boasts of 28 Bollywood films, told IANS in an e-mail interview.

"He is very precise in his brief on what he expects from a scene and extremely perceptive. It has been amazing to work with him," she added.

YRF's untitled film is her first project with Shah Rukh. Katrina is bowled over by the superstar's energy.

"Shah Rukh is a thorough gentleman and it is a delight to work with him. I admire the sheer energy, hard work and passion that he puts into his work. It is also nice that my first film with him is a Yash Chopra film; they have done some great work together," she said.

If Katrina is getting into romantic mode with Shah Rukh, she will be doing a lot of action too with Aamir in "Dhoom 3".

" 'Dhoom 3' is a concept film and the characters are required to look a certain way and do physically strenuous sequences. So there is a lot of physical training involved to prepare for the role," said Katrina.

Today she is counted among the top Bollywood actresses, but Katrina doesn't believe in the numbers game and tries not to let anyone down.

"I don't believe in numbers; the fact that I'm getting to work with the best people in the industry makes me feel blessed. With every project I get to learn so much that I can't thank all the people around enough," she said.

"Every day in this industry is an experience in itself and I try to work hard not to let anyone down. It is a great feeling, but it does come with responsibility towards your colleagues and the audiences," she added.

When Katrina entered Bollywood with the 2003 release "Boom", trade pundits had predicted it was touch and go for her in tinsel town. But she has proved everyone wrong by giving hit after hit.

In a span of almost a decade, Katrina has given hits like "Maine Pyaar Kyon Kiya?", "Welcome", "Sarkar", "Race", "Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani", "Raajneeti" and "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara".

"I am very fortunate that I have been working with some very senior and experienced directors almost from the beginning of my career - Raj Kanwar, Abbas-Mustan, Raj Kumar Santoshi to name a few," said Katrina, whose recent Slice ad "Ab Ras Barsega" is out and she is looking her ravishing best in it.

"As for the directors, banners, actors and projects I am working with today, I have just gone about doing my work to the best of my abilities and in as professional a manner as possible," she added.

Salman Khan is Katrina’s trainer for Dhoom 3

Katrina Kaif is definitely a multi tasker. She is currently shooting for Yashraj’s Ek Tha Tiger. But, that’s not it. The actress is simultaneously working on her look for Dhoom 3 too. And you know who is guiding her this time??? It’s none other than our very own Sallu Bhai.

Katrina Kaif is the hotness factor in Dhoom 3 and so, the actress has to work really hard in order to live upto everyone’s expectation. Rumors also has it that Kats will be donning a bikini in the film, however, that is not yet confirmed. But,Kats will definitely be showing off her hot body in the film.

“She may or may not be wearing a bikini, but she will need to look her toned best, as the franchise is high on the ultra-glam looks of the actors as well,” the source is quoted as saying by a tabloid.

So, where does Salman’s role fit in the picture??? Well, since the duo have been shooting together, they have been in continuous touch with each other. If rumors are to be believed, Kats has been advised by Salman to swim and cycle on a regular basis, in order to ger a tanned, fit and fab bod.

Dhoom 3 will go on floors by December 2011. If all goes well, the film is expected to release on Christmas 2012. has Aamir Khan plays the baddie in the film.

Katrina Kaif turns singer for Dhoom 3

Katrina Kaif's dream of taking her mother, brother and sisters on a long vacation has to be put on hold for the time being.

After completing the current schedule of Ek Tha Tiger in Dublin, the actress will have to start preparing for her character in Dhoom 3 in the month that she had kept aside for her family holiday.

According to sources, Katrina has received an urgent return-to-duty call from Yashraj Films to not just learn some heavy-duty stunts but also exercise her vocal cords for her role in the sequel to Dhoom.

The actress will need to undertake para gliding lessons and a full-fledged singing course for the project. "Katrina has to go one up on the last Dhoom heroine Aishwarya Rai. That's a tall order in itself," informed a source.

Katrina, who had been planning to sing for Ali Zaqfar's album has yet been uninitiated into the realm of music. This will be the first time Katrina will sing for herself in a film.

Apart from the singing, Katrina it seems has a lot of pending work for the same film. She will need to discuss with Aditya Chopra and director Vijay Krishna Acharya about the look, body language, spoken language and attitude of her character in the project.

In fact, the singing portions of her character are now being worked out, waiting for Katrina to come down and lend her voice. Katrina remained unavailable for comment.

Katrina Kaif to miss the kiss?

It's not just the bikini that Katrina Kaif has a problem with in Dhoom 3. It is learnt that Kat is now expressing her reservation over a kiss scene as well.

While the franchise had a kissing scene in the last film between Hrithik and Aishwarya, this time around, Kaif is putting in a special request to do away with the scene. Will Aditya Chopra give in?

Finally Katrina Kaif wins a role in Dhoom 3

It's always been the leading ladies who have worked their magic on the popular Dhoom franchise. First up, it was Esha Deol in Dhoom, followed by Aishwarya Rai's green-eyed presence in the second instalment, and now Yash Raj Films (YRF) has signed girl-of-the-moment, Katrina Kaif, for the third movie in the action-adventure series, opposite Aamir Khan's anti-hero.

Bollywood sources have spilled that YRF was initially on the lookout for a fresh face, but was unable to find the perfect newcomer to take on the lead role in the movie, which is so far slated for a 2012 December release.

"We even reached out to international talent, but were still unable to find someone who stood out," says director Vijay ‘Victor' Acharya.

But finally, it was Victor along with producer Aditya Chopra who decided to cast Katrina, fresh off the success of her recent outings in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, revealing, "Once we decided to go with a known face and not pursue the newcomer route, Katrina was the obvious choice for all of us," adding, "She is someone who we all know will bring tremendous enthusiasm and commitment to the film. And the first-time pairing of Aamir with Katrina on the big screen will also certainly add value."

Dhoom 3 without Katrina Kaif in bikini

She might have had to wear a bikini in her debut film Boom in 2003.

But it seems that Katrina, who is relatively newer in the industry, is taken as seriously as veteran actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Reportedly Katrina, who has signed on to Dhoom 3, managed to get Aditya Chopra to agree to her terms that two of the former leading ladies (Esha Deol and Bipasha Basu) of the YRF franchise had no say in. Aditya seems to have given in to Kat's terms, just like he did for Ash in Dhoom 2.

A source informed Mumbai Mirror that initially Aditya had categorically told Katrina that she would be required to wear a bikini in the film. In the past too, YRF had got Esha Deol and Bipasha Basu to don the two-piece swimwear for Dhoom and Dhoom 2 respectively. "Whether they did it willingly or reluctantly, nobody knows. But Katrina was extremely reluctant," said the source.

The source explained that there was a lot of back and forth between Aditya and Kat before the decision was taken. The source added, "Aditya is very fond of Katrina and they are very good friends. He had other options, including a few foreign actresses, but Katrina towered above all those options. Katrina managed to convince Aditya that it was not necessary for her to wear a bikini in the film."

Talking about the entire bikini issue, another source informed us, "Aditya is not even disappointed. In fact, he is very happy that Katrina is on board. Bikini ka problem shayyad ek hi reason tha that he took so long to finalise the female lead in the film."

Justifying her no-bikini stance, a friend of Katrina said, "Today, Katrina is a big star. She adds tremendous value to a project. She is justified in her reservations, if any, when she signs a film."

Katrina Kaif to raise oomph in 'Dhoom: 3'

Yash Raj Films (YRF) had been on the lookout for a fresh face for the role, which was essayed by Esha Deol and Aishwarya Rai, in "Dhoom" and "Dhoom:2", respectively.

"After almost a year of searching for a new face for 'Dhoom: 3', we were still unable to find the perfect debutante to play the lead role. We even reached out to international talent but were still unable to find someone who stood out," said director Vijay Krishna Acharya aka Victor.

The choice was made jointly by Victor and producer Aditya Chopra.

"Once we decided to go with a known face and not pursue the newcomer route, Katrina was the obvious choice for all of us," Victor said in a YRF press statement Friday.

Katrina has been riding high on the success of films like " Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara" and another YRF venture " Mere Brother Ki Dulhan" earlier this year.

"She is someone who we all know will bring tremendous enthusiasm and commitment to the film. The first time pairing of Aamir with Katrina will also certainly add value," he added.

"Dhoom: 3" is written and directed by Victor, who had also written "Dhoom" and " Dhoom 2".

Apart from Aamir, both Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will continue in their now iconic roles of Jai Dixit and Ali, respectively.

The shooting will begin towards the end of this year. "Dhoom: 3" is slated for a 2012 Christmas release.

Sayali Bhagat okay with wearing bikini

Former Miss India Sayali Bhagat and actress says she does not speak of the girls refused to sport a bikini in 'Dhoom 3', adding that she would gladly use for a role.

"I have no inhibitions sexy. I am very happy with my body. I want to wear a bikini. Sayali Bhagat in a bikini will certainly add value to any film, "she said in a statement." I work out regularly and has one of the hottest bodies in the B-town. I'm tired to play the good girl on the screen. Now I'm looking for an image change and would love to do roles that sexy Bipasha in 'Dhoom 2'.

I do not understand all this talk of girls, refuses to sport a bikini in 'Dhoom 3'. I'd like to see it too hot, "She said." But, unfortunately, I only have a performance-oriented roles in "Halla Bol" and "Jail", where I'm dressed from head to toe. Even in my next movie "Ghost", Shiney Ahuja at the side, I play a doctor. Tinu Verma's Up "this weekend," I play a tomboy, with the exception of that song the one with the Rajneesh Duggal in which I'm wearing a sexy orange bikini. Thank God for the small mercy, "he added. Sayal Ameesha Patel has been replaced in the Leader Paes tennis star debut project 'Rajdhani Express'.

Aamir to romance a Hollywood hottie in 'Dhoom 3'

After Katrina Kaif’s objection to don a bikini and smooch Aamir Khan in ‘Dhoom 3’, the banner is now thinking to cast a Hollywood hottie. Three names were shortlisted and they are Penelope Cruz, Natalie Portman and Eva Longoria. Yash Raj wants to woo the international audience also and one of the safest ways to attract global audience is to cast a Hollywood heroine.

A source says, "The names you mention are definitely in the list. Yashraj has never worked with an international star in any of its films. The production house has now decided to take the Dhoom franchise to a global level.

One safe and effective way of going global would be the casting of a Hollywood hottie." A formal announcement is expected to follow soon.

Confirming the same, Yashraj's official spokesperson says, "Yes, as of now some new international options are being considered."

Let’s see who among the three hotties will make their Bollywood debut with 'Dhoom 3'.

Why Katrina chose Ranbir over Aamir

Actress Katrina Kaif opted out of Aditya Chopra's Dhoom 3 to work with ex beau Ranbir Kapoor in Karan Johar's next.

According to reports, Katrina had committed to a film with Karan Johar long time back, and was also supposed to star in Yash Raj banner's Dhoom 3 starring Aamir Khan. Since both the films are scheduled to go on the floors at the same time, so Kat was forced to choose between the two films. Since it was a difficult decision, instead of taking the call herself, the sensible star decided to play it safe.

"She asked both her filmmakers to sit together and take a call on which film she should do," reveals a source close to her.

The source adds, "Katrina has worked with a lot of big banners, but for some reason she has not got the opportunity to work with Dharma Productions. Karan and she were very keen on working together, and were waiting for the right film to come their way."

Reportedly, she was supposed to star in Karan's Dostana sequel. But since it has been put on a backburner, Karan offered her his next Ayaan Mukherjee's film starring Ranbir.

On the other hand, Aditya Chopra was very keen to have Katrina in Dhoom 3. He thought she would be perfect, and her pairing with Aamir would bring on a whiff of freshness.

"Couldn't the filmmakers shift their dates if both of them were so keen on casting Katrina? The source explains, "Adi can't tell Aamir to shift his dates for an actress. And Ranbir's dates can't be moved because he has a packed schedule. So the only option left was for Katrina to choose either of the films. Adi spoke with Karan over phone and they mutually decided that Katrina should do Karan's film. With heavy heart, Adi gave away his actress to Karan since the latter has never worked with her."

The source says, "It's been a difficult decision for Katrina as well. She was looking forward to working with Aamir, and is quite disheartened to let go of such a good opportunity."

Well, there is still hope for Katrina, that is, if Aamir Khan decides to shift his dates.

Will Aamir play a gymnast in 'Dhoom 3'?

Aamir Khan will be playing a gymnast in Dhoom 3.

After he wraps up Reema Kagti's film, he starts working on his body to make it as flexible and agile as possible.

Didn't he bulk up for Ghajini and lose weight for 3 Idiots in which he played a college student?

Mr Perfectionist can slip into any role.

Aamir Khan to play a gymnast in Dhoom 3?

Aamir Khan loves to experiment with his roles and it's true that whenever he sees anything new and challenging, he goes for it. We heard the method actor is now set to play a gymnast in Yash Raj Films forthcoming flick Dhoom 3.

As we all know Aamir plays a negative role in D3. His role offers him a challenge that he hasn't done before. D3 will have loads of action scenes for Aamir who will showcase his gymnastic skills too. Reportedly the actor has recently left his personal trainer Satyajit Chaurasia and is looking for gymnast trainer. Aamir is super excited to play his part of a gymnast and also gearing up to learn the art as soon as he finishes Reema Kagti's film.

Aamir will seek training from professional trainers. It is also believed that a trainer will be provided on the sets to help Aamir give his best shot.

It can be recalled that the 46 year old actor first got his six packs abs for his role in Ghajini. Later he lost them all for 3 Idiots and now he is all set to learn gymnastics. Aamir is indeed a perfectionist!

YRF wants a fresh face for Dhoom 3

Aamir Khan

Yashraj Films is looking out for a female lead for it's racy thriller series Dhoom 3.

It was recently reproted that Katrina Kaif had been zeroed in for the role and had also begun training for it but the production house issued a clarification stating that Kaif was not part of the film.

Katrina on the other hand is currently preparing for her role in Ek Tha Tiger that goes on floor very soon. Miffed by false reports, the production house says that they are looking for a fresh face for the particular role and are still scouting for new faces and talent.

Starring Aamir Khan, Uday Chopra and Abhishek Bachchan, the third of the Dhoom series is due to release in December 2012.

I'm not doing Dhoom 3: Katrina

Katrina Kaif has flatly denied that she was ever approached for Dhoom 3 and that the role has already been given to other actress.

Just a couple of days back it was confirmed that Katrina Kaif won't be a part of Aamir Khan's Delhi Belly . Much against Imran Khan's wish to have Katrina Kaif for an item number in their film, Aamir Khan finally pitched in as the item boy for a promotional music video for the film. Apparently Katrina Kaif didn't want to associate herself with an Imran Khan film before the release of their film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan where their pairing will be seen together for the first time.

And now audiences who would have loved to see Katrina Kaif come together with Aamir Khan in another film will have to wait for some more time. Recently there were reports that Katrina Kaif would star in Yash Raj Films' Dhoom 3 , which also gets Aamir Khan in the franchise for the first time. However Katrina Kaif has flatly denied any such development. "I am not going to be a part of Dhoom 3", confirms Katrina. "I was never considered for the part. In fact I believe the role has already been given to someone else".

Even Yash Raj Films have issued a clarification that Katrina was never approached for Dhoom 3 and all the reports were baseless. They further added that they are looking for a fresh female face for Dhoom 3 .

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!
