Aamir Khan is excited to play villain in Dhoom 3. The superstar Wednesday said Dhoom was a great franchise to work in even though he initially didn't think he would fit in.
"I have recently signed Dhoom 3. I liked the script very much. When I had watched Dhoom, I liked it a lot. I enjoyed the music and the whole attitude. It's a very fun film. I really liked it. I never thought I would fit in this kind of film," Aamir told reporters at a press meet here.
Victor Acharya, who wrote Dhoom and Dhoom 2 is the writer-director of "Dhoom 3". The earlier installments were directed by Sanjay Gadhvi and starred Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra.
"When I heard the story from Victor, I really enjoyed it. Very well-written script, very enjoyable. It's a great franchise and I am happy to be part of it. I am also looking forward to work with Abhishek and Uday," Aamir said.
"It's true that for the first time I'm doing a negative role, an anti-hero in the mainstream film. I liked my role and all the characters are very well-written. Actually, in between I did another negative role in an offbeat film 1947 Earth," said Aamir.
This is the second time Aamir is working with Yash Raj Films after Fanaa in 2006.
"I have worked with Yash Raj and I have a very comfortable relation with them," he said.
The actor said Victor and producer Aditya Chopra are yet to decide the actress opposite him.
While Dhoom starred John Abraham as villain, Dhoom 2 saw Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai sizzle too.
Victor Acharya's debut Tashan (2008) fared badly at the box office but that didn't deter Aamir from signing his film.
"I think he is a very talented director. One shouldn't decide a director's capacity with the fate of any one of his films. I have full faith in him," Aamir said.
And talking about the Berlin Film Festival he says, "I am looking forward to be in the jury. Berlin is a very prestigious film festival. It's an honour to be invited to be in the jury. I am looking forward to watch all films there," Aamir told reporters here.
"World's best films are showcased there. Berlin (gives a chance) to start the year with watching the best of world cinema. I am also looking forward to meet the other jury members," he added.
Aamir is recognized internationally for his films Lagaan and Taare Zameen Par. His recent production Peepli Live, directed by Anusha Rizvi, and Dhobi Ghat directed by his wife Kiran Rao also won him acclaim in the festival circuit.
