DHOOM 3 NEWS
Being Bollywood's 'Mr Perfectionist' comes with its own problems, as superstar Aamir Khan feels guilty for not being able to spend enough time with his family.
The meticulous star, who prepares extensively before taking up any project and thus ends up doing only one film a year, says he found it difficult to juggle shooting for Dhoom 3, Peekay, and doing research for his TV show Satyamev Jayate 2.
Aamir's son, Azad, turned a year-old recently. The actor said he would take his son along for shootings so that he could spend more time with him.
"I have always felt that I am not spending enough time with my children and family. I spent 25 years with this guilt.
The problem is that I get so lost in my work that I don't realise it. I feel guilty that I am so self-centred. But, I think I am a good father and a good husband," Aamir said.
The father-of-three said his youngest, Azad, born through surrogacy, has started going to play school now.
"We feel blessed to have Azad in our lives. His face lights up our life. Now he has started going to play school but earlier he would not let me leave for work and I would end up taking him on my shoots," he added.
Aamir, who is now gearing up for the release of Dhoom 3, said producer Aditya Chopra had to delay the film for a year as he wanted to prepare extensively.
"The physical training was really difficult. I had to have a lean but flexible body for my character of gymnast. I had only nine per cent of body fat while doing the film but got relaxed after I finished shooting.
"I remember when Adi asked me about beginning the shoot, I said, 'I will need a year'. He was surprised but now when he watches the film, he realises why I needed that time."
Aamir, who spent two years learning tap-dancing, body building and gymnastics for Dhoom: 3, said he agreed to do the film because he fell in love with the story which has more emotions this time.
The Khans - Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman - have been ruling Bollywood for the longest time but the actor, who avoided taking Shah Rukh's name during the course of discussion, said he does not feel any rivalry from his contemporaries.
"Competition is not in my nature. I feel happy to see a good work like what Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) did inMunnabhai or what Ranbir (Kapoor) did in Barfi. Salman is my friend and also a bigger star than me. I prepare so much but he does not need to do that. He will shake his belt, move his goggles and that's enough for the success of his films. I feel happy about it," the actor said.
Aamir's conflict with Amol Gupte during the making of Taare Zameen Par (2007), which marked his debut as a director, is well known but the actor clarified that he did not take the film away from Gupte as was reported.
"Amol came to me with the script and he wanted to direct it. The six months that I spent with him, I thought he should direct it but when we began shooting within a week, I lost my confidence in him as a director," Aamir said.
"I returned the script to him and said that I will write-off whatever has already been spent because of what I felt. I said I will not be in this film, you can take it to anyone else. But he requested me to direct the film. My conscience is clear. I did what I felt was right," he said.
Bollywood's Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan is known to think differently when it comes to promoting his films and it is no different this time with 'Dhoom 3' as well.
Unlike the recent promotion strategies of stars, Aamir Khan along with his 'Dhoom 3' team has decided not to take 'Dhoom 3' to Television shows for promotions.
Aamir Khan will not be doing rounds of television shows or visit public places like malls in different cities to promote 'Dhoom 3'. The actor actually wants to rely on trailers and song teasers to do the trick.
Trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh confirmed Aamir Khan's plans by tweeting, "Also, Aamir informs me, he won't be doing rounds of TV shows or visiting malls of cities to promote #Dhoom3. Wants trailers to do the trick."
Aamir Khan and YRF have also decided not to release the entire song on the television for promotions and stick to releasing just a 30 second teaser.
Dhoom 3' has already created a buzz with superbly performed stunts and recently released teaser of the most expensive song in
Bollywood,'Malang' featuring Katrina Kaif and Aamir Khan.

The newest teaser of “Dhoom 3” has Aamir Khan tap dancing to beats, but the perfectionist falls short of the excellence factor.
“Dhoom 3” has been making waves with its promotional strategies, especially with brief song teasers. But the newest song teaser titled “Dhoom Tap” with Aamir shaking a leg has not quite lived up to the expectations.
The star no doubt matches his steps but appears a bit unsynchronized and stiff when comes to the demanding beats of the songs. To add to it, even Khan’s average height proves a dampener as he appears a tad odd given the expertise of the background dancers and their ferocious moves.
Khan dons the trademark bowler hat and an open- chest jacket to keep in tune with his shady look for the song, but it hardly helps as the actor looks left out in a track, dominated by high powered beats.
Aamir’s uneasy steps would remind many of the free flowing groovy Hrithik Roshan in “Dhoom 2” title track. The “Krrish 3” actor’s undeniable mastery over the break dancing and swift swinging steps in the films’s previous installment created frenzy upon its release back in 2002. As an icing on the cake, Aishawarya Rai Bachchan acted as the perfect foil with her equally compelling moves.
Aamir Khan is without doubt a perfectionist but the star has quite obviously faltered in foot tapping qualities when compared to Hrithik’s finesse in the break dancing or more aptly the street dance moves.
