"Now the pressure is on Aamir Khan. With Aamir, whatever he touches turns to gold and with him in a brand like Dhoom, it makes it bigger than anything else. We are all excited," Uday told reporters here last evening.
After the success of 'Dhoom' (2004) and 'Dhoom 2' (2006) there is already a lot of talk about the third, where Aamir will be seen as a baddie and has been cast opposite Katrina Kaif.
Uday is amazed with the response the 'Dhoom' series has garnered over the period of time.
"We did not expect it to be this popular. We knew people liked comedy and action but children really loved the film a lot. When we started 'Dhoom', none of us - Abhishek, John or me - were big stars, I think the action was the star of the film and that is why it has done so well," he said.
'Dhoom' series revolves around daring theft plans, handsome thieves and bike chases.
Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will continue to reprise their roles as Jai and Ali in 'Dhoom 3'. It is for the third time that Uday will be playing the role of a con-turned-cop, so he does not have to prepare this time.
