Dhoom 3 – The Countdown Begins ?

Well here is the news for all you people. “Dhoom 3 is being scripted right now… I met Uday (Chopra) yesterday (for the same). It’s a franchise and obviously after the success of Dhoom and Dhoom 2, we want the next one to do better (hence the wait),” Abhishek said.  He and Uday are tipped to reprise their roles in the slick cop and thief chase thriller produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF).

While John Abraham starred in the negative role in the first outing that released in 2004, the second one that came out in 2006 was a phenomenal success, courtesy the presence of Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai. Both instalments were directed by Sanjay Gadhvi.

The third outing is also expected to be helmed by Gadhvi and is reportedly slated for a 2012 release.

Right now Abhishek is aggressively promoting Raavan. Directed by Mani Ratnam, the bilingual is releasing on June 18. Co-produced by Reliance Big Pictures and Madras Talkies, the movie also stars Aishwarya Rai and Tamil superstar Vikram. Source
