MUMBAI: If you haven’t already checked out the teaser trailer of this year’s most awaited film ‘Dhoom 3’, you are surely in a microscopic minority.
The teaser (WATCH HERE) looks incredibly promising, and centers around the antagonist, played by Aamir Khan. Katrina Kaif reportedly plays his partner-in-crime as well as love interest, while Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra reprise their cop roles from the previous two installments.
While the teaser most surely reveals that the film is an action-packed adventure, what is interesting to note is that the sole focus seems to be on the villain i.e. Aamir Khan. Abhishek, Katrina and Uday have a blink-and-miss-it appearance in the first promo.
The first ‘Dhoom’ film had featured John Abraham as the baddie, and ‘Dhoom 2’ saw Hrithik Roshan play the role. However, in both cases, publicity for the film was not centered around them per se, as we are seeing it focussed around Aamir this time around.
Call it the ‘Aamir’ effect, but the official trailer of Yash Raj Films’ upcoming cop caper ‘Dhoom 3’ has already generated a whopping 7 million plus views, in a mere six days since it released! At last count, the trailer had amassed a mammoth 7 million+ views!
On 11 September, the Twitter account for the film tweeted:
A BIG THANK YOU to all our fans for helping us cross 6 MILLION VIEWS on the Dhoom:3 Teaser in LESS than 5 DAYS! http://t.co/NEEVoBdhn5
