The tremendous success of Dhoom and Dhoom 2 meant that the role of an anti-hero was being appreciated by the audience in Bollywood. It was John Abraham in Dhoom and Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2 playing thieves who stole the limelight ahead of Abhishek Bachchan who played the cop in both the cases.
Yash Raj Films plans to continue with the celebration of anti-heroism even in Dhoom 3. After John and Hrithik, YRF is planning to cast another big name in Dhoom 3. The buzz in the tinsel town is it may be none other than Shah Rukh Khan who might play the anti-hero this time. If Shah Rukh gives his nod this won’t be the first time he will be playing an anti-hero in his career Remember his turns in Darr and Baazigar..
Yash Raj Films is going through a lean patch having delivered just two hits since 2007. Incidentally both these hits Chak De! India and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi have starred Shah Rukh.
The Chopras naturally see him as a lucky charm. It also remains to be seen who directs Dhoom 3 as Sanjay Gadhvi has had a fallout with the Chopras. Rumour has it that Aditya Chopra will himself don the director’s hat
