DHOOM 3 : Marks first bollywood film to be released in IMAX

Yash Raj Films announced on Friday, Much-awaited “Dhoom 3” will marks first bollywood film to be released in IMAX. The third instalment of the popular action-adventure “Dhoom” franchise will release in IMAX theatres, known for high-end digital projection and sound systems, across India and select global locations, in 2013.

From producer Aditya Chopra and director Vijay Krishna Acharya, and starring Aamir Khan, Dhoom:3 is the next installment in one of the most famous franchises in Indian box office history. Also starring Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra and Katrina Kaif, the film tells the story of the adventures of Jai Dixit, a no-nonsense cop, and his scatterbrained partner, Ali. The success of Dhoom and Dhoom:2 have established this as Bollywood’s pre-eminent franchise.

Speaking about this collaboration, Yash Chopra said, “IMAX has always symbolised high quality film entertainment and experience and this vision of the company works very well with the ethos of YRF which has been synonymous with Indian film entertainment over the last four decades. We are indeed happy to announce our association with IMAX for the additional release of DHOOM:3 in this exciting format next year. Added to the anticipated thrill that the film promises, this IMAX experience will give it an all new edge of the seat dimension altogether. We look forward to closely working with their team over the coming year.”
