Abhishek Bachchan will be reprising his role as Jai Dixit in Dhoom: 3
New Delhi:
Has Abhishek Bachchan been excluded from Dhoomsday? One of the only two actors - the other being Yash Raj scion Uday Chopra - to have appeared in every edition of the hit action series, Abhishek is rumoured to not have received an invite to the launch of Dhoom: 3's title song on November 14.
Katrina Kaif, star of the title song, was present at the launch. So was actor Aamir Khan, who plays the villain. In fact, the event was postponed for two hours to allow Aamir to delay his exit from Wankhede Stadium where he was watching Sachin Tendulkar play his final test match. Abhishek Bachchan a.k.a Jai Dixit was conspicuous by his absence.
Rumour has it that not only did Abhishek not receive an official invite, he didn't even know about the launch till he surfed a few social networking sites. According to a Daily News and Analysis (DNA) source, "For some reason when YRF organised the event for the title song Dhoom Machale, they left Abhishek out. He found out about the event from the Internet and social networking sites, when they began reporting that Aamir had delayed the event by a few hours because he rushed to Wankhede Stadium to watch Sachin Tendulkar play his last match."
Another source told the newspaper: "He was invited and had come for the first event of Dhoom: 3 (the unveiling of the first look) and Aamir was present too. At this week's event, everyone wondered why he wasn't present when he was in the city. If the heroes were not needed for the showing of Katrina's song, why was Aamir present? Though Aamir is the villain, Abhishek is the face of Dhoom. But nobody told him about the event." However, producers Yash Raj Films, has reportedly confirmed that the title track was always meant to be launched only by actors Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif.
Rafique Gangjee from YRF told DNA: "The trailer was launched by Aamir Khan and Abhishek Bachchan and the Dhoom Machale song was always meant to be launched by Katrina Kaif with Aamir Khan."
Dhoom: 3, which is the third movie in the Dhoom series, is expected to hit theaters on December 20.
