Aamir Khan to play a baddie in YRF’s Dhoom 3
MUMBAI: Since some time there was a talk that Yash Raj Films was seriously considering to cast Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3.
But now it has been confirmed that Khan will do the film and that to in a negative role. Khan took the decision after a long meeting he had with Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra at his Bandra residence on Monday night. The film will also star Dhoom regulars Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra.
Confirming the news Khan said, “It is indeed a pleasure to be working with Yashji and Adi (Aditya Chopra) once again. Dhoom is a great franchise, is very entertaining and full of fun. Each time I hear the theme tune of the film, it brings a swing to my step. The script of Victor (Vijay Krishna Acharya) really won me over and I look forward to working with him.”
Acharya, who wrote Dhoom and Dhoom 2 and also directed Tashan, will direct the film.
It may be recalled that last year in June, Khan had met the Chopras who gave Aamir an idea of how they envisaged him in Dhoom 3. A detailed script narration followed thereafter on 13 August. Aamir had liked what he heard. For some time thereafter, Aamir mulled if he should do the role or not. And finally, he signed on the dotted line.
Khan last worked for the YRF banner in Fanaa.
Dhoom3 will go on the floors later this year and is slated for release around Christmas next year.
It may be recalled that earlier John Abraham and Hrithik Roshan had played baddies in the first and the second part respectively.

The streaming platform has partnered with Applause Entertainment and Mithya Talkies to bring Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa, a fresh, twisted whodunnit written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker and actor Rajat Kapoor. The film will stream exclusively on Hindi Zee5 from 10 April.
The movie reimagines the classic murder mystery genre with a contemporary, darkly comic edge. It revolves around a group of friends and family who smile, drink, and celebrate together until the silence snaps and long-buried secrets spill out. The stellar ensemble cast includes Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Waluscha De Sousa, Saurabh Shukla, Chandrachoor Rai, Neil Bhoopalam, Koel Purie, Palomi Ghosh, and Rajat Kapoor himself.

Applause Entertainment business head for movies Sunil Chainani added, “This film adds yet another compelling layer to our slate with Rajat Kapoor’s unmistakable voice.”
Rajat Kapoor shared, “What interested me was not just the mechanics of a whodunnit, but the emotional violence that precedes physical violence. These are people who smile at each other, but there’s so much that is not said.”
The film promises razor-sharp writing, layered performances, and simmering tension, inviting viewers not just to solve the crime but to unravel the complex relationships at its heart.
If you love a good murder mystery served with wit and emotional depth, Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa looks set to be your next addictive watch. Mark your calendars, the whodunnit drops on Hindi Zee5 from 10 April.
