A tanned Hrithik Roshan, Ash in her most glamorous makeover so far along with country’s most eligible bachelor – Abhishek Bachchan and the dusky beauty Bipasha Basu make a casting coup of sorts for this trendsetter flick.
The theatre next to you is all set to sizzle with the multi-starrer sequel to Dhoom that sent the cash registers ringing in 2004.
Although, John Abraham is missing from the action but Hrithik and Ash make sure that there’s no dearth of oomph or style.
Star pressure?
While there has been some change in the star cast, Dhoom:2 retains Sanjay Gadhvi as the director. But the question with such an increased star power is – does the director feel pressurised?
“This is the first time I was dealing with the superstars – Hrithik Roshan & Aishwarya Rai. So the pressure was something that I was always aware of,” admits Gadhvi.
“I worked towards it and I made the pressure work for me because I am quiet happy with the results,” adds Gadhvi rather nonchalantly.
What’s Dhoom:2 all about?
Shot in as many as five exotic locales, Yashraj films’ Dhoom:2 is yet another chapter in the lives of cop Abhishek Bachchan and his sidekick Uday Chopra with Hrithik making AB baby chase after him – much like he chased John in the original Dhoom.
Dare-devil stunts
Dhoom:2 has Hrithik flying down with a parachute and landing on a moving train. Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik free-falling into a gorge from a height of 500 metres. Bipasha Basu hanging on a steep wall 100 feet high. Abhishek Bachchan riding a jet-ski on a rough sea. Uday Chopra driving a bike at great speed inside a tunnel.
And these are just a few vignettes, but the stars sure had the time of their life working hard and enjoying at the same time.
“We all have worked very hard on Dhoom:2. We work very well as a team, I thoroughly enjoyed working in Dhoom,” says Aishwarya Rai.
Ash vs Bips
Ash sure had to work twice as hard for she is up against yet another oomph queen Bipasha Basu.
Dhoom:2 is sure to garner a great opening – what with such a power packed star cast. And going by how audiences lapped up Dhoom original, the formula for success is still intact.
As for the box office verdict, you won’t have to wait for long.
