After being on board the Dhoom and Dhoom 2 teams, music director Pritam Chakraborty has been roped in for Dhoom 3 as well.

‘It’s always great working with Yash Raj Films and even more so on something as iconic as ‘Dhoom’. It is a great feeling that the music has lived on with the franchise and the two are inseparable. Dhoom machaenge once more,’ an excited Pritam said.

Pritam has been part of the Dhoom series since the first part in 2004, so it wasn’t a surprise that producer Aditya Chopra and director Vijay Krishna Acharya got him on board this one as well. “Pritam is not just a chart-blazing music director but an integral part of the ‘Dhoom’ series. It’s going to be super working with him,” said Vijay.

But the most exciting part of ‘Dhoom 3’ is Aamir Khan as he dons the role of the villain. Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will retain their roles as inspector Jai Dixit and his sidekick Ali.

If Pritam is popular for his compositions for films like Raajneeti, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai and Golmaal 3, he’s also earned notoriety for plagiarising most of his songs, including the title tracks of ‘Dhoom’ and ‘Dhoom 2’. We’ll just have to keep our ears open to find out what’s his inspiration behind ‘Dhoom 3’!
