It's official.

Katrina Kaif has been chosen as the actress to star opposite Aamir Khan in ‘Dhoom 3’.

Katrina will thus complete a hattrick of films with a Khan each, with Yash Raj Films.

While she has begun shooting for ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ with Salman Khan for Kabir Khan's next film, she will also be shooting for Yash Chopra's film opposite Shah Rukh Khan in January and February.

She will then be working with Aamir Khan by the end of the year for ‘Dhoom 3’.

Vijay Krishna Acharya alias Victor who had directed the flop ‘Tashan’ after writing the previous two editions of ‘Dhoom’ says in a release, "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.”

‘Dhoom 3’ will have Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra in lead roles.
