There is good news for all Jackie Shroff fans out there.

If the reports are to be believed then Jackie Shroff is all set to play a pivotal role in the eagerly anticipated movie ‘Dhoom 3’.

Apparently, producer Aditya Chopra approached the actor with the role and Jackie Shroff took no time to give his nod.

‘Dhoom 3’ will star Jackie Shroff’s ‘Rangeela’ co-star Aamir Khan. The duo will be back on screen after 17 long years.

“Jackie's return would be special because it would be after 18 years when he and Aamir would be seen together on screen again. The film releases next year and though Jackie has been seen in one movie or the other at regular intervals, ‘Dhoom 3’ would be an actual comeback of sorts. He would be seen in a very well written part,” said a source to Glam Sham.

This will also be the second time that Abhishek Bachchan, who reprises his role as Jai Dixit in the movie, will act with Jackie Shroff. Previously they worked together in ‘Bas Itna Sa Khawab Hai’ in which Abhishek Bachchan played an antagonist. But the movie failed miserably at the box-office.

Apart from Aamir and Abhishek the movie also stars Katrina Kaif and Udya Chopra, who will reprise his character of Ali.

The movie ‘Dhoom 3’ is being directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya. The movie will hit screens in 2013.
