No delay in 'Dhoom: 3': YRF

The shooting of "Dhoom: 3" will begin in May and Aamir Khan will join the cast and crew as per schedule, clarifies Yash Raj Films (YRF).

A leading daily reported that the shooting of the film had been indefinitely postponed and that it would be shot after Aamir completes work on Rajkumar Hirani's next.

"This is absolutely baseless," said a press statement issued by YRF Tuesday. "'Dhoom: 3' starts shooting in May 2012 and Aamir Khan joins the schedule in June as per plan."

Produced by Aditya Chopra, the film is written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, who had written "Dhoom" and "Dhoom 2".

Apart from Aamir, who plays the anti-hero in the film, the film will star Katrina Kaif along with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra who played Jai Dixit and Ali, respectively, in the last two movies.

The film is slated for a 2013 release.
