Dhoom 3 (2007)

A strong rumor doing the rounds of the industry is, Sanjay Gadhvi is back in the Yash Raj camp. After directing three films for the premier production house — MERE YAAR Ki SHAADi HAi, DHOOM and DHOOM 2 — Gadhvi’s next film is with Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd. [GOLMAAL, BHAGAM BHAG]. Reportedly, Gadhvi has also been asked to helm DHOOM 3 for Yash Raj.

“it’s a false siren. Whatever you’ve heard is untrue,” Gadhvi tells me, even before i pose the question. Surely, the rumor must’ve reached Gadhvi’s ears too. “There’s no question of going back to Yash Raj. i am not associated with DHOOM 3 either. My next film is for Ashtavinayak,” Gadhvi makes his first official statement. (more…)

A lot of speculation is doing the rounds regarding Aamir Khan’s home production ‘Taare Zameen Par’. The 45 day schedule has apparently gone beyond 120 prompting many in the media circles to talk in hushed whispers. Never mind.

Knowing the perfectionist Khan, the end result will be worth all the toil. Hopefully. But the whisper that is gaining credence is that Aamir Khan is all set to replace Shahrukh Khan in the forthcoming ‘Dhoom 3′.

Another bit of rumour doing the rounds is that Akshay Kumar shall be playing the negative role. Now, considering that John Abraham and Hrithik Roshan made the ‘bad’ look oh-so-cool in the first two versions, it seems like a distant probability that Aamir shall opt for anything less than the best for himself in brand Dhoom that is exceeding all expectations of box office grandiose.

Brakes will be applied on scenes of bike racing and rash driving in Bollywood movies if the Maharashtra transport commissioner has his way.

Alarmed by a spate of accidents involving speeding bikes, Transport Commissioner S.D. Shinde has asked the Censor Board of india to delete scenes of bike racing and rash driving from films.

“i want bike and car racing scenes to be banned in movies since the youth is trying to ape the actors’ stunts. This only leads to accidents as these youths have no expertise and are not capable of handling such powerful bikes,” he said. (more…)

Sanjay Gadhvi’s decision to quit the Yashraj camp doesn’t seem to have gone down well with Aditya Chopra.

Adi, who believes that Gadhvi owes his success to the Yashraj banner, is not leaving any stone unturned to teach him a lesson. Besides planning another Dhoom sequel, Chopra has now decided to entrust its making to scriptwriter Vikram Krishna Acharya.

initial rumours suggested Chopra himself would wield the megaphone for Dhoom 3, but Acharya is now believed to be making his directorial debut with the film. (more…)
