Reports that Aamir Khan, the Mr. Perfectionist of B'wood, will be seen in the role of an acrobat and performing some mind-blowing stuff in Dhoom 3 are already out.


But does anyone know who inspired the Bollywood star to take up his circus act seriously? According to B'town sources, it is none other than the hot-and-happening south star Suriya, who essayed a similar role in the period flick 7Aum Arivu.

Aamir is playing a super villain in the film and for the last few months and he has been training in acrobatics with the American celebrity acrobat David Poznanter.

Suriya is portrayed a circus artiste in Murugadoss's 7 Aum Arivu. The actor, who goes to any length to prepare for his role, had admitted in an interview to DC that he trained with two veterans who worked for popular circus units including Bombay Circus.

He said that he was taught juggling, hand walking, gymnastics, acro-dancing etc and he spent a lot of time with the circus team before starting the shoot.

It may be recalled that Aamir, who tasted huge success by remaking the Suriya-Murugadoss combo's Ghajini, was keen to get the remake rights of 7 aum Arivuas well. But the deal didn't materialise due to various reasons.

It is learnt that after watching Suriya's acrobatic act in 7 aum…, Aamir is keen on performing all the acts himself and has told David that he wants to get every move perfect.
