When it comes to 'Dhoom: 3', the surprises just keep on rolling one 
after another. The makers have released the promo of the new song for 
the film, featuring lead actor Aamir Khan who plays the role of the 
thief, Sahir.
<br />
Though there's no doubt about Aamir Khan's acting skill, its common 
knowledge, the actor isn't much of a dancer especially in comparison to 
Hrithik Roshan, who starred in 'Dhoom 2'.
<br />

However, the video features Aamir Khan doing a tap dance solo and
 boy is he good! Set in some kind of a warehouse, the actor kicks up a 
dust storm as he moves and shakes to the music.
<br />
Known for being extremely particular on getting absolutely right,
 Mr. Perfectionist as he's so rightly called flew all the way to 
Australia to learn tap dance from a professional instructor.
<br />
Aamir Khan, who was speaking at a conclave hosted by a news 
channel, said he asked producer Aditya Chopra to delay the film for a 
year as he wanted to prepare extensively.
<br />
"The physical training was really difficult. I had to have a lean
 but flexible body for my character of gymnast. I had only nine per cent
 of body fat while doing the film but got relaxed after I finished 
shooting."
<br />
"I remember when Adi asked me about beginning the shoot, I said, 
'I will need a year'. He was surprised but now when he watches the film,
 he realises why I needed that time."
<br />
Aamir Khan, who spent two years learning tap-dancing, body 
building and gymnastics for 'Dhoom 3', said he agreed to do the film 
because he fell in love with the story which has more emotions this 
time.
<br />
Aamir Khan tweeted the video of one of his tap dance sessions. The actor sure took a lot of pains in perfecting the dance.
<br />

Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, 'Dhoom: 3' also stars Katrina Kaif, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra.

Why Aamir Khan will not promote 'Dhoom 3'

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIPluQ7ZCbbk_sodm-imCkErY9bN_ZxsNMCcMEZRcakgQmifTghni5c3IRh6zJbeY6aR9hbAeOAO-Z4GtyG3vrEQVo6oESwLd2KRCeol1_OntS7K56N9XtE52wrH4Xj-rHtO2klxhoLric/s1600/M_Id_445918_Aamir_Khan.jpg" /></div>
Bollywood's Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan is known to think 
differently when it comes to promoting his films and it is no different 
this time with <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0260a8;"><b> 'Dhoom 3'</b></span></a> as well.
<br />
Unlike the recent promotion strategies of stars, Aamir Khan along
 with his 'Dhoom 3' team has decided not to take 'Dhoom 3' to Television
 shows for promotions.
<br />
Aamir Khan will not be doing rounds of television shows or visit 
public places like malls in different cities to promote 'Dhoom 3'. The 
actor actually wants to rely on trailers and song teasers to do the 
trick.
<br />
Trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh confirmed Aamir Khan's
 plans by tweeting, "Also, Aamir informs me, he won't be doing rounds of
 TV shows or visiting malls of cities to promote #Dhoom3. Wants trailers
 to do the trick."
<br />
Aamir Khan and YRF have also decided not to release the entire 
song on the television for promotions and stick to releasing just a 30 
second teaser.
<br />

'Dhoom 3' has already created a buzz with superbly performed 
stunts and recently released teaser of the most expensive song in 
Bollywood, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0260a8;"><b>'Malang'</b></span></a>  featuring Katrina Kaif and Aamir Khan.

Aamir Khan: Salman Khan is a bigger star than me

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Bollywood perfectionist Aamir Khan said that superstar Salman Khan is a bigger star than him.
<br />
The actor, who was speaking at a conclave hosted by a news 
channel, acknowledged that his 'Andaz Apna Apna' co-star is more popular
 than him.
<br />
Aamir Khan said: "Salman Khan is my friend and also a bigger star
 than me. I prepare so much but he does not need to do that. He will 
shake his belt, move his goggles and that's enough for the success of 
his films. I feel happy about it."
<br />
The Khans – Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman – have been ruling 
Bollywood for the longest time but the actor was of the opinion that 
while he needs to prepare for a role Salman Khan does not need to do 
that.
<br />
Aamir Khan, who is all set for the release of his action film 
'Dhoom: 3' (December 20), revealed that he spent two years learning 
tap-dancing, body building and gymnastics for the film!
<br />
Earlier Salman Khan was to release his home production 'Jai Ho' 
in December, however it is believed that Salman Khan shifted the date 
for close friend Aamir Khan to avoid the big clash.
<br />
Aamir and Salman have been friends for long however have only 
worked together in 'Andaaz Apna Apna'. Earlier Aamir Khan had expressed 
that he would like to work with his friend once again if they came 
across a good script.

Actor Aamir Khan got his lessons in tap dancing from Australian choreographer and renowned dancer Dein Perry for 'Dhoom 3'.
<br />
Aamir flew to Australia to learn the dance from Dein who had choreographed the Sydney Olympics opening act and 'Happy Feet 2'.
<br />

The actor spent a while in Australia and learnt the dance form 
with the choreographer's students, mostly in the age group of 10 - 24 
years. Aamir had to learn the 'grungy tap' dance which is high on energy
 and more difficult than the classic tap dance.
<br />
"Aamir had visited Dein Perry's academy in Australia to learn the
 grungy tap dance. After the training was done, the dance team came to 
India to shoot the song," a 'Dhoom 3' spokesperson said.
<br />
In the third installment of 'Dhoom' series, Aamir will be seen as
 a baddie opposite Katrina Kaif, while Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra
 will continue to reprise their roles.
<br />
Releasing on December 20, 'Dhoom 3' is directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and produced by Aditya Chopra.

Feel guilty for not giving enough time to kids, family: Aamir Khan

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Being Bollywood's 'Mr Perfectionist' comes with its own problems as 
superstar Aamir Khan feels guilty for not being able to spend enough 
time with his family.
<br />
The meticulous star, who prepares extensively before taking up any 
project and thus ends up doing only one film a year, said he found it 
difficult to juggle shooting 'Dhoom 3', 'Peekay' and doing research for 
his TV show 'Satyamev Jayate 2'.
<br />
<span style="color: #0260a8;">Aamir Khan</span>,
 48, and his wife Kiran's son Azad turned two on December 1. Aamir said 
he would take the child to his shootings so that he could spend more 
time with him. 
<br />
"I have always felt that I am not spending enough time with my 
children and family. I spent 25 years with this guilt. The problem is 
that I get so lost in my work that I don't realise it. I feel guilty 
that I am so self-centred. But, I think I am a good father and a good 
husband," Aamir Khan said on the sidelines of a conclave by a news 
channel in New Delhi. 
<br />
The father-of-three said his youngest, Azad, born through 
surrogacy, has started going to play school now. "We feel blessed to 
have Azad in our lives. His face lights up our life. Now he has started 
going to play school but earlier he would not let me leave for work and I
 would end up taking him on my shoots," he added.
<br />
Aamir Khan, who is now gearing up for the release of 'Dhoom 3', 
said producer Aditya Chopra had to delay the film for a year as he 
wanted to prepare extensively. 
<br />
"The physical training was really difficult. I had to have a lean
 but flexible body for my character of gymnast. I had only nine per cent
 of body fat while doing the film but got relaxed after I finished 
shooting."
<br />
"I remember when Adi asked me about beginning the shoot, I said, 
'I will need a year'. He was surprised but now when he watches the film,
 he realises why I needed that time." 
<br />
Aamir Khan, who spent two years learning tap-dancing, body 
building and gymnastics for 'Dhoom 3', said he agreed to do the film 
because he fell in love with the story which has more emotions this 
time.
<br />
The Khans -- Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman -- have been ruling 
Bollywood for the longest time but the actor, who avoided taking Shah 
Rukh's name during the course of discussion, said he does not feel any 
rivalry from his contemporaries.
<br />
"Competition is not in my nature. I feel happy to see a good work
 like what Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) did in 'Munnabhai' or what Ranbir 
(Kapoor) did in 'Barfi'. Salman is my friend and also a bigger star than
 me. I prepare so much but he does not need to do that. He will shake 
his belt, move his goggles and that's enough for the success of his 
films. I feel happy about it," the actor said.
<br />
Aamir Khan's conflict with Amol Gupte during the making of 'Taare
 Zameen Par' (2007), which marked his debut as a director, is well known
 but the actor clarified that he did not take the film away from Gupte 
as was reported. 
<br />
"Amol came to me with the script and he wanted to direct it. The 
six months that I spent with him, I thought he should direct it but when
 we began shooting within a week, I lost my confidence in him as a 
director," Aamir Khan said.
<br />
"I returned the script to him and said that I will write-off 
whatever has already been spent because of what I felt. I said I will 
not be in this film, you can take it to anyone else. But he requested me
 to direct the film. My conscience is clear. I did what I felt was 
right," he said.

Amid the pomp and opulence of 'Dhoom: 3's song 'Malang', did you miss
 the acrobatic skills of its lead actors Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif. 
Take a look at this behind the scenes video, which shows how Aamir Khan 
and Katrina Kaif perfected their acrobatic skills for the song.

'Cirque De Soleil' to train Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif, who play 
acrobat experts in the movie. 
<br />

Mr. perfectionist, Aamir Khan, who plays a gymnast in 'Dhoom: 3' 
had to undergo rigorous and intensive training for his training. Aamir 
not only had to undergo the circus training but he also had to go on a 
strict diet for almost two years to get the perfect body to play the 
perfect thief.
<br />
The makers also informed that it normally takes a minimum of 2 
years to get a hang of the act which both Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif 
completed in matter of weeks.
