Saif replaces Shahrukh in Yashraj's Dhoom 3!

SRK's loss might be Saif's gain when it comes to the next Dhoom installment. Yash Raj has been trying to get the third version of their successful franchise, on the floors for quite some time now and Adi Chopra has finally settled on the script.


But like most Yash Raj projects, even before the script is ready, they are engrossed in the stylisation and casting of the film. Since it was the baddies, John and Hrithik, who stole the show in the last two flicks, the Chopras wanted to go bigger and better this time. So they could only think of Shah Rukh Khan to play the lead. But SRK, after his shoulder surgery and the regular strain on his back, has decided to not do movies with excessive action scenes. That effectively rules out Dhoom 3 for him.

He has apparently conveyed the news to the banner, adding that he won't be able to give dates till late next year.

Since the Chopras wanted to it to be a quickie project, with a strong hero, who'd have dates at his disposal, they settled on Saif. There has already been a verbal agreement between them.

Don't be surprised if the Chopras head to Kareena's door next, asking her to sign up for the project. After all it's these gimmicks that make the film. Script? What's that?

"It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
