Production

Development

On 2 January 2011, the producer of the previous Dhoom films, Aditya Chopra confirmed that the third installment of the Dhoom series would begin principal photography at the end of 2011. Initially, the producers and the lead actor Aamir Khan wanted to release the film on Christmas of 2012,[3] but the plan was scrapped in favor of an early release date in 2013, mainly due to a forecast that a Christmas release would force a rushed post-production schedule, which was unfavorable given the high degree of technicality needed for the film.[4]

Casting

"I am very excited for Dhoom 3 [...] specially excited because Aamir joins the series as the lead antagonist. His joining the cast completely raises the level of the franchise as he brings forth a high sense of professionalism and perfection."

—Bachchan talking about Khan's casting as the antagonist[5][6]

Aamir Khan was signed on to essay the lead role and the antagonist, while Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will reprise their roles as police officers. Rimi Sen, who played the role of ACP Dixit's wife in the previous two installments of Dhoom series, was not approached to play her character Sweety.However, in an interview she stated that she wouldn't have done the role even if she were offered.[7] Finally, Katrina Kaif was signed as the lead heroine, starring opposite Khan.[3] Dhoom 3 will be directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, replacing Sanjay Gadhvi who directed the first two franchise of Dhoom.[3] Both the lead actors took up special preparations for their roles . Khan reportedly learnt ballet,[8] aerobatics[9] and French technique of parkour,[10] a method of movement focused on negotiating obstacles with speed and efficiency, while Kaif took paragliding training and singing lessons.[11] While Bachchan, reportedly, lost nine kilos of weight to prepare for his role in the film.[12] Stunt Director Olliver Keller was signed to direct the stunt scenes.[13]

Filming

Filming was supposed to commence from November 2011, with scenes involving Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra being filmed first,[14] but lead actor Bachchan went on a paternity leave and shooting was eventually postponed to January 2012. Bachchan's wife Aishwarya played the lead female actor in Dhoom 2, the previos Dhoom film. In January 2012, the schedule was pushed to June 2012 because of lead actor Aamir Khan's prior commitments with his TV show Satyamev Jayate and again in June the filming schedule was further postponed for a month because Khan wanted to prepare himself for his role of a gymnast. Additionally, Khan wanted to concentrate on marketing and promotions of his 2012 film Talaash.[15]Without any further delays, filming commenced with Jackie Shroff and the child artist, playing the role of childhood Aamir Khan on 8 June 2012 at Yash Raj Studios, Mumbai.[16] Aamir Khan joined the filming in July and filmed for only 5 days at Yash Raj Studios and, then in Chicago, U.S.A.. Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra flew to the U.S. on 4 August 2012 to complete a 3 month schedule. On arrival to India in December 2012, Bachchan stated that the shooting was complete by fifty percent and would resume again, in Mumbai.[17]

3D Format

Reportedly, Aditya Chopra, wanted to make the film in 3D. After observing 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. However, actor Aamir Khan felt that the 3D technology needs expertise and perhaps he was not sure whether director [[Vijay Krishna Acharya[[ (who last directed films like Tashan and wrote Dhoom 1 & 2 ) would be able to do justice to it .[18] As of September 2012, YRF studios hasn't announced the production of the film in 3D.[19]

IMAX Format

Dhoom 3 is considered as the first Indian film to be released on IMAX screens in India. It will be played on a limited number of enhanced IMAX screens using the Digital Media Remastering (DMR) technology, besides of course in 2D and 3D versions. IMAX Corporation currently has 14 IMAX theaters open or contracted to open in India. In late September 2012, IMAX Filmed Entertainment Chairman and President Greg Foster struck partnership with Yash Raj Films and looked forward to work with the director and the producer on this front.[20]

Music

It was announced that the composer of Dhoom and Dhoom 2, Pritam, will return once again to compose the music of the third installment.[21]

Marketing and Promotions

Marketing

First of its kind, the title logo of the film was released in a video that credited the main roles of the film. The score for the video constituted paced beats and electric guitars and was released on Christmas 2012 through Yash Raj Film's official Youtube channel, confirming the film to be Christmas 2013 release. The first working as well as promotional poster was also released exactly a year prior to the actual release date of film.[2]

In the Media

Even prior to the beginning of the principal photography the film enjoyed a widespread media coverage.[22][23] Because of the box office success [24] and positive reviews from audiences [25][26] for Dhoom 2, the previous installment in the Dhoom series, the sequel had been anticipated by the audience.

"If you ask anyone about my next release .. everyone seems to be talking about Dhoom 3 only and honestly, we haven’t even shot a single frame of the film".
