00:00 Dhoom franchise has a special fanbase among the Hindi audience.

00:03 Three installments of the film have been released so far.

00:07 Dhoom 1 featured John Abraham while Dhoom 2 starred Hrithik Roshan in the lead role.

00:13 Both the films were a huge success.

00:15 Dhoom 3 featured Aamir Khan and the film failed to create an impact like the previous two installments.

00:22 But did you know that Aamir wasn't always the only choice for the film?

00:26 The makers were also thinking of other options before the film went to the floors.

00:31 Recently, actor Imran Khan made the big revelation about how he and Ranbir Kapoor were being

00:38 considered for Dhoom 3.

00:40 In a recent Instagram post, Imran talked about how he didn't know how to ride a motorcycle

00:46 when he signed Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola.

00:49 Imran wrote in his post, "I couldn't ride a motorcycle when I signed on.

00:54 So, I had to take lessons.

00:56 I learnt to ride Matru's bullet in between shots while filming the Aunty Ji song from

01:02 Ek Mai Aur Ek Tu."

01:04 Commenting on his post, a user said, "Speaking of motorcycles, back then somehow I always

01:10 wanted to see you in the Dhoom series.

01:12 Man, that would have been absolutely killer."

01:16 Replying to the user, Imran revealed, "You know, for about five minutes back, in 2011-ish,

01:22 there were some conversations about making Dhoom 3 with Ranbir and I.

01:27 Never got past casual conversations, but could have been fun."

01:31 Imran Khan also revealed that he wasn't the first choice for Bajru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola.

01:37 He said in his Instagram post, "I was never supposed to be Matru."

01:41 The film was launched with Ajay Devgn attached as Matru, but he chose to withdraw before

01:47 filming could commence.

01:48 "I was riding high off the back-to-back successes of Delhi Belly and Mere Bradar Ki Dulhan and

01:54 close to wrapping the shoot of Ek Mai Aur Ek Tu when I got the call.

01:58 Vishal Bhardwaj wanted to meet me.

02:01 I was thrilled.

02:02 He told me about his passion project, a story he had been carrying close to his heart."

02:08 He then added, "I was anxious and terrified through the shoot of the film.

02:13 I couldn't shake the feeling that Vishal had never really wanted me for this part.

02:18 That my casting was based more on the budget that my presence could afford than the directors

02:24 belief in me.

02:25 And so it came to me that once we wrapped the shoot, I turned tail and ran, never looking

02:31 back.

02:32 I didn't even watch the final cut of the film when it was done."
