So its official. Aamir Khan will play the villain or as he says,the anti hero in ‘Dhoom ‘3. ‘Tashan’ director Vijay Krishna Acharya urf Victor is directing the film.
Yash Raj Films has smartly built this bike & robber franchise. Producer Aditya Chopra markets his ‘Dhoom’ specials as Hollywood markets their big ticket Superhero films. As any comic book/superhero fanboy/fangirl will tell you the most important information is always about the villain. (The ‘Dark Knight’ was all about the Joker,wasnt it?)
In the case of ‘Dhoom’,Inspector Jai Dikshit (Abhishek Bachchan) and his sidekick Ali (Uday Chopra) are already established. The magic ingredient the ‘Dhoom machale’ quotient is always the villain. In the first movie,John Abraham got to gyrate with Tata Young. Hrithik Roshan got to smooch Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the second. Wonder how Aamir will top that in the threequel?
By the way,’Dhoom 3′ goes on the floors only in December 2011 and has booked a Christmas 2012 release. Thats a long wait.
It seems to be the season of the anti heroes. News is rife that the ‘Biutiful’ actor Javier Bardem has been approached to play a possible challenger to James Bond. Deadline reports that MGM and regular Bond producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are looking to get the Oscar winner Bardem as the likely second male lead of the movie. Bardem and Daniel Craig in a movie! Now Im gonna watch that. Not getting my hopes up though as the reclusive Spanish superstar is famous for nixing down projects. But if he signs,just imagine the quantum of rock n rock.
Talking of rock n roll,Shah Rukh Khans new Imagine TV show ‘Zor Ka Jhatka’ falls short of it. The Indian edition of ‘Wipeout’ is about contestants falling. Period. They fall in the water,in the mud,from the sky and make complete fools of themselves. Its fun to see people fall for maybe five minutes but then it becomes boring. ‘Zor Ka Jhatka’ comes across as a stretched man-falls-on-a-banana-peel joke. The joke here stretches for over an hour.
As for Shah Rukh Khan,to call him a host for this show will be incorrect,he is a commenter. The contestants have already fallen somewhere in Argentina while SRK is in a Mumbai studio where his job is to describe the way people have fallen. By the way,the decision of Imagine TV to go all the way to Argentina just to show a pool of water and a mud area is as bizarre as the budget of ‘Guzaarish’. The vibe of the show is risqué. SRK does a pelvic thrust every time he announces the name of the big ticket show. Two episodes down and hes made some cracks on big balls,furniture of women contestants and a few gay jokes here and there.
This is not the Shah Rukh we are used to. Still early days yet for the show so lets see how it moves along.
Any day give me SRK as Raj Malhotra than the one who keeps saying GPL (‘Grand Phichwade Pe Laat’).
Why Shah Rukh Why?
