The perfectionist of Bollywood has decided to don the garb of the villain in the third movie in the Dhoom series. Dhoom is India’s most successful series of high octane action thriller movies. Dhoom 3 was much in news with the entire B-town guessing the actor who would be playing the bad guy. While John Abraham and Hrithik Roshan played the roles in the first two series, Aamir Khan will be stepping into their shoes for the third instalment of the film. Things couldn’t get any better, could they?

Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will be seen in their previous avatars as tough cop Jai Dixit and biker Ali respectively.

Confirming the news Aamir said, "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."

The film will be produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya who replaces Sanjay Gadhvi. Vijay is the writer of all three Dhoom films and had also directed Tashan. The film will begin shooting by the end of this year and is slated for a 2012 Christmas release.
