Bollywood 'Badshah' Shah Rukh Khan has portrayed negative roles in movies like Darr, Baazigar, Anjaam, Duplicate and several other films and he was appreciated for his performances in those films.

His character in Darr gained immense popularity for his typical stammering style. Recently, we have seen him portraying the popular character of 'Don' in the movie by the same name, which was originally immortalized by mega star Amitabh Bachchan.

Now, there is a buzz that SRK is going to don the grey character once again and that too, for the third movie of Dhoom series.

After much talk and speculation about the director and the actor to play the negative character, it has been reported that Aditya Chopra will direct Dhoom 3 and King Khan has reportedly given dates for the movie. Sanjay Gadhvi, the director of Dhoom and Dhoom 2, has quit Yash Raj films so Adi decided to take the responsibility on him.

However, some sources deny the confirmation saying that nothing has been finalized yet as SRK has been approached for being a part of the directorial venture of Yash Chopra.

Shooting for Dhoom 3 is likely to start from March, 2011. In Dhoom 2, Hrithik Roshan became the real hero even if he portrayed in the negative character. Now, it will be a challenge for SRK to recreate the magic that already touched the viewers' heart. However, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will continue to portray their respective roles.

Vijay Krishna Acharya of Tashan fame will be writing the script of this challenging sequel. We hope the news of SRK taking up the negative role comes out to be true since the audience have always loved him in such roles.
