New Delhi:
Yash Raj Films has confirmed Katrina Kaif as the female lead opposite Aamir Khan in Dhoom:3.
The much-anticipated anticipated announcement confirms rumours which have been doing the rounds on the fresh pairing of Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif.
A statement released on behalf of director Vijay Krishna Acharya says: "After almost a year of searching for a new face for DHOOM:3, we were still unable to find the perfect debutant to play the lead role. We even reached out to international talent but were still unable to find someone who stood out. Both Adi and I really wanted to be sure that the person we chose would be perfect for the role. Once we decided to go with a known face and not pursue the new-comer route, Katrina was the obvious choice for all of us. She is someone who we all know will bring tremendous enthusiasm and commitment to the film. The first time pairing of Aamir with Katrina will also certainly add value."
Katrina Kaif also acts opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Yash Chopra's yet untitled love story later this year. The actor is currently shooting with Salman Khan in Dublin for Yashraj's "Ek Tha Tiger".
Produced by Aditya Chopra, Dhoom:3 is written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, who had also written Dhoom and Dhoom 2.
Apart from Aamir Khan, who plays the anti-hero in the film, both Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will continue in their now iconic roles of Jai Dixit and Ali.
The film will begin shooting end of this year and is slated for a 2012 Christmas release.
