Shock Horror… Uday Chopra to direct Dhoom 3
Now here is some news that will just make your day… the lovable and everyone's favourite tubby Uday Chopra is set to direct… and he not going to direct any other film but the biggest of them all… action sequel Dhoom 3!
Uday hasn't had the best of acting careers, with only the Dhoom series to his credit, but that hasn't put him of from Bollywood. .. In fact quite the opposite. Uday has been pressuring his older brother Aditya, who has finally given in and told him that he has his permission to go and try his hand at Dhoom 3.
Original director of the first two films, Sanjay Gadhvi made it clear a long time ago that he would not work on the third. Many other directors were considered, with Aditya himself pondering to take the helms. Aditya even offered the direction seat to Shah Rukh Khan, but he politely refused. Then came along Uday Chopra, who was all up for it… and in the end he was given the go ahead.
Says a source, "Despite their best efforts, Yash Chopra and Aditya couldn't make a star of Uday. They gave him tailor-made author-backed roles in Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai and Neal N Nikki. They bombed. And while his tapori act in Dhoom and Dhoom 2 was a hit, Uday unfortunately was not offered roles outside Yash Raj except for an occasional supari which no one wanted to chew. For the past year he has completely withdrawn from the public eye, planning his life ahead. Directing a film seemed the most logical thing to do."
Dhoom 3 is expected to begin production late this year, but one thing is now assured, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan will not be part of it. There is no way the two stalwarts would let a young untried director loose on themselves… Hrithik Roshan is also tied up with other commitments. So that means its back to Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra… can you wait for it?
