"Sachin is the embodiment of collective pride of India" - Aamir

While the whole world is waiting with bated breath for the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar's last cricket match, everybody is doing their bit towards the batting maestro. The latest one is YRF's Dhoom 3 team, which has now dedicated their signature song 'Dhoom Machale' to Sachin. 

Buzz is that while the said song will be dedicated before Sachin starts playing in Mumbai, YRF is working out nitty-gritties on how to go about this. Meanwhile, Aamir Khan, who is a close friend of Sachin, was not only very glad at the idea, but also gave his inputs on how the team can go about putting together the event. 

Talking about the song, Aamir said, "Sachin is the embodiment of the collective pride of India. He provides us with hope and inspiration, and makes us feel good about ourselves. His retirement will leave an empty feeling in all of us. But today we should celebrate his spectacular innings as a cricketer, as a human being and as an icon. Through his entire career, he has created DHOOM in every step, on every pitch, in every cricketing country, in every bowler's nightmare, in our hearts, in every cricket field across the world, and in the hearts of every cricket fan across the world....... and so; very very appropriately we humbly dedicate our song 'Dhoom Machaley' to the genius. So, Sachin, 'Dhoom Machaley' in your last outing!!! Love you always. Your fan... Aamir."

Katrina to do acro-dancing in Dhoom 3

Katrina Kaif would be training for a new form of dancing known as acro-dancing for Dhoom 3. It has now been decided that Aamir too would be joining Katrina in this rare and intricate form of dancing.

While Katrina would be trained in Mumbai by acro-experts, Aamir would be taking lessons for the same in Chicago.

After rigorously learning belly dancing for the song 'Sheila Ki Jawaani' in Farah Khan's Tees Maar Khan and another intricate form of belly dancing for the 'Mashallah' number in Ek Tha Tiger, Katrina has moved to another far more complex form of dancing in Dhoom 3.

Acro-dancing is a very complex combination of classical dancing and the elastic-bodied skills of acrobatics, acro-dancing is considered to be one of the most complex forms of modern dancing.

"Yeh sabki bas ki baat nahin," said a choreographer who heard about Katrina's new and most daunting career challenge. "Not every heroine's cup of tea at all. I once wanted one of our top heroines who is also a fab dancer to attempt acro-dancing. We practiced for a fortnight and then gave up. Iss ladki ko mera salaam."

The choreographer's salutation to Katrina is not unfounded. She will be spending a good two months practicing her acrobatics for the dance. Aamir will train for lesser time since he will join Katrina only briefly for acro-dancing.

Says a source, "Katrina will start with learning acrobatics and gymnastics suspended from a harness. This form of training for acro-dancing is really hard because it hones in on a dancer's ability to maintain grace suspended in air. After this, Katrina will go on to training for classical dancing, and then do a combination of the two styles. It's a huge challenge. But as far as her dancing is concerned, Katrina wants to keep moving to a new level with every film."

A world-renowned acrobat would be flown down to Chicago where Dhoom 3 would be shot, and then to Mumbai. Katrina and Aamir are expected to continue their acro-dancing training even while attending to her other commitments in-between the Dhoom 3 schedules.

"Katrina wants the dance numbers in Dhoom 3 to take her beyond 'Chikni Chameli'", says a source.

Aishwarya-Aaradhya to move to Chicago!

Following Mr perfectionist’s footsteps, Abhishek Bachchan is all set to rent a place in the US to accommodate his wife Aishwarya Rai and daughter Aaradhya, while he is busy shooting for Dhoom 3. The filming is scheduled for three months in the US.

Earlier this month, Aamir was in the US shooting for Dhoom 3. He took a home for rent, where his wife Kiran and toddler Azad were living. The actor preferred a homely atmosphere rather than spending on costly hotels. Taking a cue from Aamir, Jr Bachchan has decided to do the same.

Says a source, “Abhishek’s wife Aishwarya and daughter Aaradhya are joining him soon in Chicago. Big B and Jayaji will follow soon after. They want to get some time together away from home and prying eyes.”
