Saif goes Dhoom over SRK
Saif may have missed all the action in Yash Raj Films' popcorn action series Dhoom and Dhoom 2 and instead preferred to be mushy in their Hum Tum. But the latest we hear is that SRK has turned down the Dhoom sequel, and that spells good news for Saif.
King Khan, who is known to ‘never say no’ to the Chopras, has apparently conveyed the news of unavailable dates till late 2010. Shahrukh is said to have stated health reasons to skip this flick. After his shoulder surgery and the regular strain on his back, Sharukh has decided to not do movies with excessive action scenes. That effectively rules out Dhoom 3 for him.
So now it is a change of plan for the film’s director Aditya Chopra, who has decided to direct the film himself, and has roped in another Khan- Saif Ali Khan for the role.
Rumour mills were working hard when Aamir was touted for the role, replacing Abhishek Bachchan, but Aamir has turned down the project. Though Aamir’s reasons are however unclear, we hear that Aamir is said to be unhappy with the good guy role. Well, we don’t blame him, as in the Dhoom series the baddies are the ones to steal the show. John Abraham’s bike scenes in Dhoom is most remembered as he plays Kabir, the gang’s leader. In the sequel, Hrithik Roshan will never be forgotten for playing mastermind thief known only as Mr. A because he leaves an 'A' symbol after each robbery, and more so because he got to lip lock with Aishwarya Rai (just before she got married to Jr. B). While Jr. B, Abhishek Bachchan who has played the cop (the good guy) in both films has hardly got his due.
The second set of rumour went out that Saif will play the role initially written for Shah Rukh Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan will be the cop, replacing Aamir Khan. Not only that, but Zayed Khan will replace Uday Chopra, who will be seen in the film albeit a special appearance. On the other hand, Rani Mukherjee was being decided for the female lead! We wonder why? Rani's neither hot not tall nor sexy… Absolute prerequisite for Dhoom.
Nobody seems to know the other casting changes the Chopras are contemplating on this project. For what we can tell you even before the script is ready, they are engrossed in the stylization and casting of the film.
Now we wonder who’s being roped in for the female leads opposite these high profile male star casts. Don’t be surprised if the Chopras ring Kareena’s door bell. After all it’s these gimmicks that make the film. As for us, we will surely like to see some young and healthy doing the Dhoom on screen!
