Aamir Khan focuses more on audience’s views on Dhoom 3 than box-office numbers

Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan has expressed his concerns over his upcoming film Dhoom 3. He said that he is more anxious about the audience reactions to the film rather than the box-office collections.

Aamir said, "I have no expectation fromDhoom: 3(about box office collection). I am not thinking about all this. It is important that audience should have a great time and love the film.” The actor added more, "Audience is not interested in numbers (box office collection) and even so I am not interested in it. It doesn't matter to me. I believe films should touch your heart.” However Aamir is feeling nervous about Dhoom 3’s destiny and he has also started smoking again. Aamir admitted, "I have started smoking again because of tension forDhoom: 3. I did not smoke in the last two years. I had quit it. I was on strict diet. Now, I am not only smoking but also eating lots of food. I want to give up (smoking). I want to be fit. I will give up after December 31.” The actor said that he has been "extremely stressed and nervous"about Dhoom 3’s release and also missing the moments of shooting the film with the team and his co-stars. He said, "From December 13, we all will be together again and encourage each other.”

Dhoom 3 has given a golden opportunity to the Bollywood superstar to learn tap dancing from none other than the renowned Australian choreographer and dancer Dein Perry, who choreographed the Sydney Olympics opening act and Happy Feet 2. Aamir said on his dancing lessons, "I took 45-day training for tap dancing. I am not a dancer, I feel Hrithik, Govinda or Shahid would have done a better job than me. I still haven't got it as I didn't have the luxury to practice for a longer period. I think to learn something like this perfectly you would need two years at least.” While talking about the promotional strategy of Dhoom 3 Aamir answered, "We are banking on the creative side ofDhoom: 3. We believe in less is more. We don't want to go out and scream about the film. Today, the audience is intelligent enough to choose which film they want to go and see. We respect the intelligence of the audience. Marketing is something which is taken care by the producer and the director. If my suggestion is required then I give it.” Aamir also expressed his grief that late filmmaker Yash Chopra wouldn’t be there to watch the 3rd instalment of the Dhoom franchise. Aamir said, "Yashjiwon't be here to see the film and it is a huge regret. I wish he was here to see the film. I would have loved to see his reaction.” Dhoom 3, releasing on December 20, also stars Katrina Kaif, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra. The action-thriller has been directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and produced by Aditya Chopra.
