New photos of Aamir Khan on the Chicago set of ‘Dhoom 3’

Dhoom 3: Back in Action is causing quite a stir this week among Bollywood fans in Chicago.

The film is the latest in the popular Bollywood buddy cop series, starring Indian actor Aamir Khan as a thief who is a skilled acrobat able to elude the hero cop of the series and his sidekick, played by Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra.

As we’ve reported, Dhoom 3 filmed scenes at Wabash and Randolph in Chicago yesterday, and they will spend the rest of the week filming from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on lower Michigan Ave, from South Water to Hubbard St., on lower Wacker from Lake Shore Dr. to Post Place, Hubbard St, from lower Michigan to Rush, and mid-level Wacker from Columbus to Michigan in Chicago.

Thanks to one of our Twitter followers, @MiraNedic, we have a first look at Aamir on set (above).

You can check out a few more photos from yesterday’s shoot below as well. If you spot Dhoom 3 filming in Chicago this month, let us know about it at olv@onlocationvacations.com!

  7. We might have more info next week so check back on our site … as far as how they are filming since they are just starting it could be 3 more months but I haven’t heard anything for sure…

  12. Just received memo in office, they will be filming outside my office Saturday and Sunday 4 pm – 10 pm Clark/Adams, lasalle/monroe.

    • can you confirm if its Clark and Adams OR LaSalle & Monroe OR they will should in that block. Lastly, please confirm it is from 4Pm – 10PM. hope you are not joking with us and appreciate your help.

      • Guys, I am just trying to help fans, don’t have time to joke. When I saw signs on polls around my office, I wasn’t sure which film they are referring to but when I saw notice in building explicitly saying “Dhoom 3” I was sure. If you read other comments you will observe that I provided info to Dave and he did go to that location, verified that my info. is authentic. they are planning to film around that entire region.

  16. I did, Its right by my office.
    They are filming an action scene [cop cars flipping..] at lower Michigan under the bridge.

    Lot of people are there and the crew is not letting anyone go down the road.

  23. I want to thank everyone who are helping fans to know detail location of shoot… I ld say say it is kind of social service 🙂 .. I m also planning to visit location on Sunday.. Are there any actors other than Amir at location?

  29. Aamir and Abhishek are here. Katrina will come later next week after Ek Tha Tiger release. Today filming was at Adams and LaSalle but they were not letting ppl stand and blocked enough area around to get a clear view. Still managed to see police car chase, money dropping from top of the bank building, etc. Got lucky when AB (jr.) was going from vanity van for his scene. He walked right in front of me and got a clean shot of him.
    Heard tom filming is at same location but got 2 different times – (1) in the morn & (2) 4pm – 10pm, although filming today ended around 7PM. Any addtl info is appreciated.

    • I was there on Aug 12 till about 4:00 pm, didn’t see Amir but saw some movie shots like Money dropping from the bank, big blast next to Cop car….Did Amir actually come yesterday ?

  39. Does anyone know where/when are they shooting on August 19th, Sunday? My 8 year son is a big fan of Aamir and really want to see him.

  40. Hi guys,

    Appreciate your help on the D3 filming details.

    Wondering if anyone knows where they are filming today (13th August)

    Thanks

  43. Please let us know If anyone knows where they are filing tomorrow.

    Also, which JW Marriott are they staying?

    Appreciate your response.

    Thanks

  45. Yestersday, one of the crew member told me that they would not be shooting on Monday (8/13). But he might be wrong or not having the correct information.

  48. Hi Guys,

    I guess PP is correct. There is no Dhoom-3 filming today.

    I went to Upper Wacker and stayed there for a while. The black car with the camera and stuff is there but they are filming 2013 Lexus commercial.

    Please let us know if you know details about tomorrow (14 th August)

    Thanks

  49. I went to Wacker too and saw the Lexus commercial thing 🙂

    I read somewhere that today it’s on Randolph and Wabash! Don’t know how far it’s true, but I don’t have the time to go look now. Please post any info about tomorrow.

  53. Its at Randolph and Wabash today – just walked by the crew and set this morning!
    Sure, coz I saw people with Yash raj jackets on and confirmed with a crew member.

  54. 08/14 Dhoom 3 Location (confirmed): Randolph & Wabash. Vanity vans on Lake Street between State & Wabash. Filming on Wabash between Lake & Randolph (Parking Garage @ Benton & Wabash).

  59. They’re shooting some kind of police chase scene on Wabash between Lake and Randolph today. I don’t think Aamir or AB are on the location, But there are a lot of vanity vans parked on Lake between Wabash and State.

  61. Yes Amir was there today. The only time we got a glimpse was for few minutes when he got out of a car and started walking on Wabash then turned left on Randolph and walked towards a parking garage on randolph. He went up the garage for shoot but no was allowed inside. waited for 90 minutes for him to come out; had to rush back to work.
    Some more info. One of the crew guys said they will be shooting songs on Randolph for next 2 to 3 days. in 2 to 3 weeks they have shooting planned in six flags at gurnee.

    • That must be fun to watch. Looks like Katrina will be coming soon after Ek Tha Tiger release in India. I hope Aamir has a song with Katrina lol I am not that interested in watching Abhisekh when I am there watching them shoot without Aamir’s presence.

    • Yeah, I was there too. It was nice to see him, smiling and all. If only he took pictures with us – the fans. apparently he did yesterday. 😐 tough luck i guess

  62. Thanks guys for all the update. I hope I get to see him ‘cuz when I went on the 10th I could only see the stunt scene under the bridge and no aamir.

  72. just saw abhishek & uday 2day at randolph and wabash
    awesome experience

    info for 15th aug
    shooting still on wabash and randolph but inside the building
    so you can’t go in the building , but still can wait 4 them to come outside

    • well i saw abhisek and uday at around 7pm out of their sets
      idk if everyone is shooting 4 the same sequence
      just go there and wait ‘
      dont trust wat the crew people say because they lie to u abt who is there and who is not

  80. Hey – not a prob. One of the guys said they have it blocked till 10pm, but it might change ay time. And not sure which actors. Yesterday they said AB wouldn’t come, but we saw him in the evening. So, can’t trust everything they say.

    Anu – I’m not sure what time upto, hope your train ride is worth 🙂

  83. There are a lot of production trucks, a bunch of motorcycles and other equipment set up on the west side of the Union Station building on Clinton. Don’t know when they’re shooting.

  86. Yes there is activity going on near union station but its mostly stunt mens. They are also shooting at Wabash and Randolph today. I am going there right now to supply food/drink to my wife and daughter:). Will let everyone know if any actors are there.

  96. Well per Anu, AB and Uday is at union. Although AB and AKs trailer is on lake. I have seen AKs security guarding the trailer at lake so I am resonably sure that AK is in the trailer.

  103. aamir khan is by lake/wabash…i guess they will be shooting there, does anyone know where they are staying..and when is katrina coming to chicago.

  113. Guys I am just getting out of union station. Aamir and uday were there. I just got out of that place since aamir packed up. Going towards his vanity van wabash/lake to try my luck.

    • Anu,

      We just reached home..were you able to see any action after that? also my all aamir’s pics came blurry..:(((((((.. would appreciate if you can send me some including abhi and uday..

    • i heard from the security guy that it is going to be the same location tomorrow..but please check this site before you leave..

  122. Some stunt scene was going on near lake & garland at 5:15, but none of the actors were there….nothing at Union Station as well

  124. Tomorrow weather is not that good so if you are traveling from far only to see shooting, make sure actors are present and shooting is on. Looks like friday to sunday trip will be worth it and there’s also air and water show to watch along.

    • Does anyone know if shooting for dhoom 3 is schd for Fri, Sat and Sun this week? If yes, then where. I would like to see AK and AB- would be great if someone can post that info. Where else can we get this info?

  127. Looks like with the heavy rains, there might be no shooting today.

    On a different note, Aamir Khan has rented an apartment in Chicago and Abhishek Bachan is also going to follow him and rent one, heard that even Ashwairya & Jaya Bachan are to join AB…this summer is going to be a celebrity summer for all of us !!!! Please do keep posted on the apartment address if anyone finds out 🙂

  131. Is anyone aware of the shooting schedule this week??? Please let me know if you have any updates..would like to see Aamir…Thanks

    • Makes sense for the family to live in full furnished apt . and not to just rely on microwave of hotel and outside food for long time when you have wife and kid. Corporate luxury apts are much better than those hotel suite.

  137. Does anyone know if shooting for dhoom 3 is schd for Fri, Sat and Sun this week? If yes, then where. I would like to see AK and AB- would be great if someone can post that info. Where else can we get this information

    • I don’t there’s any other place to get the info…we’ve been going off the info here in the comments – basically we’re posting what we see around downtown.
      I think it is scheduled for Fri – not sure. Maybe at union station…not sure again.

  138. Just Saw Uday’s Twitter update, He said he finished 10.5 KM run.. I dont know where did he go for the same but seems like they are not shooting today and they are taking some time off because of the weather.

    Keep updating 🙂

    • AP did someone from Crew told you that. I was planning to take a day off to go tomorrow for the shooting in downtown. If it is not in downtown tomorrow then I don’t wanna go tomorrow to Chicago.

  140. dhoom 3 vans and equipment was spotted on randolph and wacker. no shooting was done as they got rained out they are packing up right now..but the vans and everything are still out. the staff told me that they are not shooting today and tomorrow are going to Joliet..

  145. Did someone from Crew told you that the shooting will be in Joliet tomorrow (Friday). I was planning to take a day off to go tomorrow for the shooting in downtown. If it is not in downtown tomorrow then I don’t wanna go tomorrow to Chicago. Please advise. Thanks for all this info.

  146. Can some one please confirm if they are shooting tomorrow in downtown? Actually I’m planning to come down to Chicago and my 8 year old son eagerly wants to see the shooting. I came last Sunday but there was no shooting on Wabash or Randolph.

  147. Jill,
    Read previous comments, they were filming on lasalle and monroe last sunday. Keep checking this thread for updated info, its not worth traveling far when you are not sure. So far no one has concrete info. for tomorrow.

  149. its hard to say any information we hear is an 100% accurate, 2 of the crew members said they were going to joliet tomorrow..so i mean that may or may not be true.

  151. yeah and one of the crew members told me they are gonna be shooting in downtown from 7 to 7, so who knows, we will jsut have to see tomorrow

  153. Yea, I wouldn’t take any of the crew members words to a 100%….either they are not sure themselves, or it changes. Whatever, just have to watch 🙂

  154. The other day 1 member told me AB wouldn’t be coming for another 2 days — after 10 mins, he walked out of his trailer :|, so, go figure

  155. I just called Jolet Speedway and they are saying that they have NOT been booked for any movie shoot tomorrow.

    Can some one confirm where will they be shooting tomorrow ?

    Does anyone know where is aamir renting out the appartment in Chicago ?

  156. People who want to know where Aamir is renting the apt? – Do you guys have no other work but just to follow them where ever they go? Saath mein tatti karega when you know where he lives? Let them live peacefully when they are done with shooting.

    Thanks to the guys who are updating when the shooting is going on.

  157. I understand your concern but no bad words please..everyone is staying calm and talking nicely with each other..Can you please do the same ? You can raise the concern but dont have to use bad words..

  161. All the trucks have packed up and left from Randolph/Wacker, and one of the security guards said shooting is over today, and tomorrow shooting is in Joliet.. Obviously nothing is for certain though..

  165. People can only confirm when they are making the post from their smartphones while watching them shoot live. There is no other way to get confirmation unless you know the actors or insiders personally.

  166. The crew was setting up equipment near Randolph but due to low light and misty weather they did not continue anything. Strong feeling they will do some shooting tomorrow if it would be dry.

  169. does anyone know where the shooting is happening in downtown Chicago today 08/17? I am in downtown to see the shooting…plz let me know

  170. I haven’t seen vans/trucks at any of the regular locations – Union Station or Randolph/Lake/Wabash…
    If anything comes up i’ll post.

  176. it def looks like they are in Joliet. I have not heard of anyone seeing the vans or shooting information.
    dont know where in joliet they could be..

  178. Like I mentioned earlier…Downtown doesn’t seem to be the venue today…haven’t seen anything. I may be wrong, but as of now, I don’t think they are here. The joliet thing may be right.

  180. We all are going nuts about the stars , but they don’t have time to greet or take a pic with us. They more into their work I guess than looking around at their fans.

  182. Not True about Aamir, this guy seriously if you see him will take a picture with you, i mean he really interacts with his fan and appreciates them i have already met him 3 times ! and all 3 times hes being super nice! . I could see that being true about abhishek.

  188. I called Harrah’s in Joilet to check if there’s any shooting going on today or for the weekend ? They said no. I am not sure if they are not allowed to disclose or there’s nothing happening there.

    Seems like today is a tough day to figure out where they could be.

  190. Last weekend they had booked 13th floor at JW Marroitt on Adams. Not sure if AB and other stars is staying there. Majority of the Indian production crew is staying in suburbs.

  192. All of you guys are doing a great job at tracking. I missed the shoot when the crew was working at Wacker and Randolph. I work just few blocks away from there but I had no prior information of such a big thing happening around. Anyways that is the sad story of many of those in corporate lives 🙂

    Lets keep tracking and see if we can catch them all. The crew should be in and around Chicago for another 2 months.

  197. AK , AB, UC……..MOVIE Shooting is going on @ Autobahn Club in Joliet …… I waited for about 2 hours but since they are shooting at a private property they are not letting anyone in……

  199. Very impressive to see the Power of Social Media!!!!

    On a lighter note….this has turned into a Witch Hunt…lol

    Keep up the good work, I am very close to Wabash & Randolph so will certainly keep all posted for that location

    Lets see if we can locate them for the weekend schedule….

  202. I live in the loop, I will try to find them tomorrow. If someone have some news about tomorrow schedule, please let me know, I can go and post, if I found them.

  209. Yeah, I read that too abt the crew being in Joliet…also I was in downtown and did not find any shooting or vanity vans. Guess the news is true.

  218. Any idea where they are shooting today? Are they back in Chicago? I have a day off work today but don’t want to waste a trip downtown if they’re not even there. Please let me know if you know anything!!!

  219. I met Mr Aamir khan yesterday in Downtown, he was very kind, talked to him for a while, clicked some pics. Very Nice man. Also got to see her wife and baby 🙂

    God Bless all.

  220. Just an FYI, one of our Twitter followers aid they are filming in Joliet and Peoria area through the middle of the week, can anyone confirm?

  221. AB tweeted to one of his fans that they are taking a break from shooting yest and today so they are downtown and not shooting till tomorrow. Just go look at all his replies on his twitter.

  228. Ridiculous movie. Not worth it. Worth one time watch on DVD. Storyline is so weak. I saw it over the weekend and I don’t even remember whats in that movie. Just remember the trailer which I saw number of times.

    They are wasting their time going to theater.

  229. Can anyone tell me about tomorrows shooting? I really wanna see abhishek please please help me out! I hv visited the city 4times n I saw aamir but no luck with abhishek 🙁

  230. abhishek was at big cinemas as mentioned earlier. anyone know the schedule for the rest of the week? are they gonna shoot in chicago? or suburbs?

  232. Well – I haven’t seen any vans/people in the regular downtown spots – Union or Randolph/Wabash – both are on my way to work…so I’d know if they’re there. Not sure if they;re filming elsewhere or still in the suburbs.

  237. No replies have these guys vanished. First few days were so easy. Does anyone know where to get details on street closures

  238. I hv been walking around Randolph/lake/wacker n there’s no sign of a shooting going on. Please tell me where the shooting is today I’m in the city until 2.

  239. I guess people have vanished coz nothing seems to be happening in downtown. First few days it was easy coz we’d see them by our workplaces 🙂
    Sorry, but no new info yet.

    For info on street closures you can check online, as in Google it. But for these movies, per my experience, they don’t mention street closures, coz it’s not a major impact. As in they are filming on like one side of the street etc. For filmings which impact entire streets they mention it online. – Per my experience watching the filming of Transformers vs Dhoom3.

  241. Money talks , Saahil Exclusive – Devon believe owner of Big Cinema too decided to do Private screening for Dhoom 3 crew . If we had tons of money it would be easy to get Pics with bollywood stars.

  245. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-WNz78AY10&feature=youtu.be
    ^Someone posted this video of Aamir Khan and it’s really cool to know that he’s walked around the same Mrs. Fields that I have! 🙂

    After watching this video, however, I noticed that the security is extremely tight and also unfriendly. I then researched a little about celebrity security and found that some celebrities pay $20,000/day for their security (and that’s on the lower end of what most stars pay!).

    There are two reasons I’m posting:
    1. For those of you who have seen/talked/taken pictures with Aamir Khan, how have your experiences been with his security? Are they always this rude or do they let you take pictures/get autographs?

    2. A friend of mine posted a picture of Abhishek Bachchan at Big Cinemas.

  246. I’ve bumped into AK twice till now – the first being at the video you uploaded…Yea his security are a bit mean, but I figure it’s their job…but again i was annoyed too. About pics and stuff, I spoke to his security guy and he said, hey, it’s all upto the stars. If they see fans around and want to take pics…they’ll ask us to stand down…apparently AK does that nmost of the time, but I think that day he was running late or something….
    The second time I was right in front of him when he walked by…and security said he’ll take pics after the shot is done…which he eventually did.
    I think it’s just a vicious cycle – they are mean and loud…but that’s their job,..but we still dislike them for it.

  250. Here’s the latest update I’ve heard for tomorrow:
    Dhoom 3 is filming around N Franklin St- N La Salle Dr and W Lake St in Chicago

    can anyone check it out?

  260. i did not meet anyone last night. they were filming a chase scene down franklin starting around lake. i only stayed for 15 minutes but saw amir on the bike with cop cars chasing him. my friend emailed me and said the trucks are still around ashington and wells, so i can only assuming they will be there today. as far as cast, i saw trailors for AK, AB, UC but no KK yet.

  262. Uday Chopra has posted a picture of them shooting in DT. Even abhishek tweeted saying that night shoots are worst b ut they are having fun riding these bikes for dhoom 3. SO they have shot whole night yesterday that means they probably won’t do anything today.

  264. I work in Willis tower. Here is the information I got from my company’s co-ordinator. This might or might not be related to Dhoom3-

    7:30 PM Tuesday, August 21st to 6:00 AM Wednesday, August 22nd
    LOCATION: Franklin Street & Washington Street
    FULL CLOSURE: Franklin from Randolph to Madison; Washington from Wacker to Wells

    FULL CLOSURE: Lake from Franklin to LaSalle; Wells from Wacker to Randolph
    INTERMITTENT CONTROL: Lower Wacker from Post Place to Garvey Court

    7:30 PM Thursday, August 23rd to 6:00 AM Friday, August 24th
    LOCATION: Lake Street & Wells Street
    FULL CLOSURE: Lake from Franklin to LaSalle; Wells from Wacker to Randolph
    INTERMITTENT CONTROL: Lower Wacker from Post Place to Garvey Court

    7:30 PM Friday, August 24th to 6:00 AM Saturday, August 25th

    LOCATION: Randolph Street & Dearborn Street
    FULL CLOSURE: Randolph from State to Clark; Dearborn from Washington to Lake

  265. That does make sense for Dhoom 3 since they are filming night shoots and tonight’s location lines up with what we heard, thanks so much for the info!!

  278. Ignite, I kindly request you to please refrain from falsely getting our hopes up. For those of you who have read all 300+ comments, you should know that Ignite (or, in Ignite’s defense, someone using Ignite’s username) has posted that he once “saw Aamir and his family on Michigan Avenue…”, which turned out to be an untrue statement.

    Please be respect and be mindful of the fact that many of the fans are not teenagers, but rather grown adults who work hectic jobs hoping to find time in the day to travel long distances to see the Dhoom 3 cast and crew. Also, some of us may be 50+ years old who never got the chance in our youth to see leading Bollywood celebrities and are hoping that this year we’ll get our chance.

    So please continue to update all of us with credible information.

    • TOM PAUL, THANK YOU!
      I AM THE ORIGINAL IGNITE AND THE GUY WHO POSTED ABOUT MEETING AAMIR NEAR NORDSTROM. I ONLY HAVE HIS AUTOGRAPH. HE DECLINED TO TAKE PICS BECAUSE HE WITH HIS FAMILY. THIS INFORMATION WAS 100% ACCURATE.

      EVERYTHING ELSE POSTED AFTER WAS FAKE. I HAVE RETIRED THE IGNITE ID. IF THE FAKE GUY USES IT AGAIN, PLEASE DO NOT TRUST HIM.

      I LOVE THAT PEOPLE ARE COMMUNICATING WELL HERE, AND RESPECT ALL THE FANS. CREDIBILITY DEFINITELY COMES FIRST AND I HOPE EVERYONE GETS TO MEET THE STARS.

    • i was coming from Franklin half an hour ago… i saw most of our people waiting for see AK. cops were also there..also saw some more trucks coming…but there was no AK..or AB or UC…

      One of my friend visited there..he showed me the video of the shooting too…. he mentioned that they started around 9:00 PM.

      I am also planning to go there tonight with my hopes high to see him again.

  284. I think they will be shooting there again tomorrow as the street closures are for them as was the case today. We got to see Aamir….had to wait a long time though..and as expected lots of crowd but the security is super annoying.

    • Glad to hear at least someone got to see Aamir! My friend told me that he drove around Franklin, but there was not too much going on (maybe he was just there at the wrong time). Rai, which intersection and what time did you see Aamir? And, yes, I’ve heard that the security is very annoying. Was it only D3 security or also Chicago Police Department?

  285. Today it was at Franklin and Lake….some bike stunts and a bunch of police cars driving around a block at high speed. U’d have to see the list above for tomorrow’s closures. It could be the same as Monday & Tuesday were at the same location.
    We saw Aamir around 9/10 pm.We were there from 7 pm though. once while he was getting into his trailer and then some of my friends had a look when he got off the trailer to ride the Merc to go down the street.
    Okay, I will be there tomorrow again and since there is a lot of time to kill on waiting, I am thinking of organizing a small flash mob on a bollywood song if enough people are interested. I am not sure if it’s legal though but if there are like 10 people, then we should be fine, I think. Please reply if anyone is interested and we could plan out details. Thanks.

    • Rai,
      Flash mob is a great idea. Please post here if you are planning this. I would also want to be a part of it. I was there yesterday at 11:30 PM to 1 AM but only saw Abhishek and Uday Chopra. Aamir was not there. And they were going to shoot stuntmen for the rest of the night.

      Deepak

  286. Rai, you should defintely do the flash mob on Sunday, as no one is really going to be staying out super late than cuz of work on monday, you probably have more of a shot!

  287. does anyone know typically how late they shoot till? i dont have work tomorrow, so i can go whenever at night to see. i’m thinking the later i go the less people will be there?

  289. Hi

    I saw Aamir and got pictures with him yesterday. He started shooting at around 2.30 yesterday night. They will be shooting tonite too. I would suggest go there by 9.30 to catch him. They take a break around 11.30-1

    • Hi Seema: I was there last night too from 9 to around 11. But the security is annoying, they didn’t even let us go close to the location. Thankfully I got a glimpse of Aamir when his Merc drove down the lane. Is there a way we can go closer to the location? What is the best place to be??

  290. Shilpa..

    Yes they were annoying I agree…but i held on :)..he came out for a shoot on Wacker and Randolph at 2.30..thats when we cud stand on wacker and see him. He came and took pictures with the crowd and then we could go take pictures with him seperately between the shots. Abhishek and Uday were there too.i think you just need to be around..

  291. Friends,
    The schedule posted by “Man Jan” is 100% accurate. I watched the shooting y’day night from 10 pm to 4.30 am on Lake and Wells and when I left at 4.30 am, they were still shooting. If you go near lake street, there are posters saying that the parking not allowed until 25th Aug. for evening timings. I had snaps with AK and AB. Both were co-operative but audience was were bad to them. People kept doing “Dhakka Mukki”. In fact Aamir himself invited people to take snaps with him.
    The post of “Rai” at 2.34 am is also correct. I would suggest if you wanna see them and have pic with them, then watch the shooting peacefully and especially don’t flash the camera when they are taking a shot. Their security guys get annoyed if we don’t follow their instructions and then they spoil the time of people watching the shooting. All the best…

      • SB, if you could just link back to this site on your FB page instead of copying all of the content from the site and adding it to Facebook I would appreciate it, I work really hard on the site to keep it going and to give people a place to share this type of info, I would apprecaite it, thanks!

        Also if anyone does have pics to share you can email me and I can add them to this site as well olv@onlocationvacations.com thanks!!

          • Christine,

            I have linked to this URL in every post where I referred to comments from this website. I am just a fan looking to help my fellow fans discover stuff easily. If you don’t want to post any comments from this page to Facebook page let me know, I will stop that (but that would remove the links to your website as well). I have linked all posts (for which I got info from here) to this URL, let me know if you see any message that does not link back to this URL.

            I think the FB page is in fact going to be more beneficial to you as I have linked your website in the posts there and everyone will click on the link to check the content here. These users would not have visited this website otherwise. And since this page is specific to Dhoom3 shooting in Chicago it will get more get more targeted users than OnLocationVacation FB page.

    • You guys lucky, i went there one time but lack of information so didn’t get a chance to see any one. I will go again this week, will see.
      Thanks everyone to updating this page, it is really helpful for everyone.

  293. In fact, some people posted the info of Joliet. Even that was correct. I spent few mins with one security guy overthere. Fortunately he became friendly in few mins and he showed me the video of their shooting which they did in Joliet. They used helicopter in Joliet. At the end of shoot I took one pic with him also. 🙂

  294. The manager/personal care taker of AB was saying that Kaitrina is coming by end of September.
    A big big thanks to “Man Jan” for all this. Without his information, this could not have happened to me ..

        • hey tom since u know so much abt shooting maybe u can help me with a parking spot 4 2nite around shooting locations?
          any info would help (please include exact address / phone number 2 contact the parking people and rates hourly)
          it would be better if there are any parking spots that r free
          thnx!!

  299. SB, Shilpa, and Jill:

    Excellent idea to setup a facebook page for pictures and videos! 🙂

    Because this thread has nearly 400 posts, I hope that you three support the idea to keep posts/posting on this webpage. Based on the history of the comments on this page as well as the current comments, many of us have found patterns in the timing of the D3 crew and therefore have been able to catch a glimpse of one or more of the stars.

    Though it may be difficult to transfer all of the information from 400 comments to the facebook page, I hope that everyone supports the idea to post pictures and videos on the facebook page, but only post words/comments/information on this page (one reason for this is so that we don’t have a few people posting on FB and others posting here). Another important thing to note is that everyone might not be comfortable using their full names/facebook to post on the FB page (many of the people who have positively contributed to information about D3 shooting have names like D3, SB, or Ack).

    So please let’s leave posting of information, comments, schedules on this page. And let’s give everyone the option (if they want to) to ‘like’ the FB page and post pictures/videos of themselves with the celebrities on FB.

    • I agree with you Tom.

      We shouldn’t stop updating this link. I got some pictures of the stunts yesterday. I couldn’t take Aamir’s pic though :(. His Merc passed in front of me, but I almost froze for 2 seconds. Wish I could have taken a pic. I’ll try to upload the stunt pics on fb page tonight.

      Thanks,
      Shilpa

  300. i want to know abt parking and if it is free or not
    can i get the exact location with address and rates and also till what time?

  301. You guys are doing a really good job..I myself saw ak during the first second week.of.the shoot on Wabash/Randolph.. he’s really nice in letting people take his pics. I’ll definitely be going Friday night to see ab and udhay… and we definitely should do something about mocking on Bollywood songs..maybe we’all get something outta it..

  303. Zinal,

    if you go in the nite, you could do street parking anywhere close to the street they are shooting at..you could park it around wacker and then walk…they are mostly around that area

  307. Any Idea what’s the schedule for tomorrow are they shooting during or night ? and what time ?
    Really want to meet abhishek bachchan

  308. Meant to ask during day or night ? And how difficult it is to meet abhishek and talk to him for few minutes.
    Would appreciate reply

  309. guy, it would great if you could keep this thread going, I know a lot of people are using it (who may not even be posting and the link has been well circulated so it would be great if we could keep it up…also if you have pic or something that can’t be easily posted in this thread, email me and I can add the pics for you, thanks! my email is olv@onlocationvacations.com! thanks!

  310. PS thanks to all who have been contributing! Its a great thread!

  311. Saw AAmir inside car (i was standing at n Michigan avenue crossing) 20 minutes back…He was siting in front seat, wearing same black hat, he didn’t look out…may be he’s going to Franklin for night shoot….just wanted to update you guys….i dont have photos to prove, but it doesn’t mean the info is wrong…i’ll keep sharing …help us all out

    • Th is correct. Yesterday (Thu night shooting) was happening at Lake and Wells – around 9.30 to 10.15 pm – there were stunt men at that time doing the bike scene. I was told AK would be there by 11.00. I went back towards Michigan Avenue and Randolphe (must be around 10.30) and saw AK inside car – I car took tun into Randolph so must be going towards the shooting site. Generally they have stunt people, followed by starst doing the same routine.

  312. Is anything going on right now….Is everything blocked off OR we can catch a live filming…..I wanted to see some shots or stunts live……….Please give me info….

    • Even i met with UC at around 1:30 AM ..he was roaming on the red light of Franklin, i heard that they take 11:30 Pm to 1:00 PM break…

      Also, for some time we were standing near AB’s van, i could see him (from the mirror of the van, though not clearly)…later on UC came out from it …i assume all 3 were talking as i saw Aamir getting up….

      Also, saw Aamir going for shot around 2:15 AM…hope this helps for late stayers….

  315. just saw ak and ab at shooting no pics though becauz it was not allowed
    good experience seeing little bit of shooting of stunt man

  316. We saw Amir last night around 11pm. We took few pics but they came blurry, I will gather what ever I can from my friends and post them.

  318. There trailer was parked on Franklin by Lake. When ever stunt seens are being shot and you don’t see them on the set you have to go by their trailer. He was in his trailer till 12ish, came out for few mins around 11:30ish and we got pics. We went back in his trailer after the pics.

  319. I am planning to go to DT tonight. Could anyone please suggest a good time to see AK? I have been reading all the comments and someone said that 11.30ish is a good time to catch them. Please suggest.

  321. Best time is 7pm before they start shoot or 11:30 pm to 1am when they break. Beyond fhis its impossible. Fhats how i got and thats what ak bodyguard told ne. I got a few solo nice clicks

  322. Guys tomorrow is Saturday. Most of the people must be free. How about we meet somewhere like in a mall or something in the afternoon..and plan out the flash mob..I guess we need to do it to get more attention out of it..whoever is with me reply to my post please. Thanks

  323. I met Aamir khan yesterday around 11:00 Pm. he was in his van getting ready but just came out to take pictures with the crowd. we were just 15-20 people..He is such an amazing looking personality..Loved few clicks taken with him. He was all into talking and he shook hands with my Husband….

    I met him at randolph and Lake..

    Pointer : try to locate his black Mercedes Benz. So if you see a vanity van and a black mercedes, stick there.

  326. hi all. i saw them filming last night around 1AM or so on lower wacker around the dearborn area. i was standing on the riverwalk looking in through the fence and got a short clip of abhishek riding a motorcycle in. i posted it to my facebook page but not to the public one yet. amir was there also along with a few of his stunt doubles. i didn’t stick around for too long though. however i came back later in the night at 4:15 or so and the roads were clear so they must have finished way before. i’ll go back out tonight earlier, maybe around 11 or so and see if i can find the trailors and possible take some pictures with them. i’ll keep everyone updated with any news.

  327. Hi All
    Reading all posting since week, going 2morrow to downtown… i hope i ll be lucky to see AK 🙂
    Do update if thr is any change in 2morrows schedule..
    Thanks all for ur inputs.. as i m staying in subrubs cant contribute much..

  328. My only sujjestion for those who all are going to downtown at night is to be careful.. It is not a safe place to be there at night..

  329. Shital,
    I live in suburb & planning to tonight, is it safe to take the kids? My son really wants to see the shooting,I went one time but no luck. Thanks

    • Jill,

      A couple of my friends have seen the shooting at night this week. They said that it really just depends on luck when it comes to seeing the stars.

      On the bright side, Dhoom 3 cast is here for almost another two months and Amitabh, Jaya, and Aishwarya Bachchan as well as Katrina Kaif aren’t even here yet!

      They aren’t shooting in the most upscale part of Downtown Chicago so it might be a little intimidating for your kids (depending on how old they are, of course).

      Personally, I am going to bring my kids when D3 starts shooting in the day again because I don’t think there is a rush (we have plenty of more shooting scenes to see). But, of course, the decision is up to you 🙂

      Good luck!
      Tom Paul

  332. I have been at the location since last 1hr. AK isn’t coming for the shooting tonight. My friend told me that He is attending some charity dinner at Holiday Inn, Skokie at 10pm.

  335. Hey guys, can anyone find out the daytime shooting times? I am sure there are a lot of people who would want to know this. I want to bring my sister to the shooting and she is a kid. As Tom said before it would be better if we take the kids during the day.

    Before they leave from this location, can someone please find out the daytime shooting times for the stars?

  338. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS before going to see the filming of Dhoom 3:

    We were watching some of the filiming late last night and by AK’s trailer earlier this evening. Neither the police nor security have any idea how to manage the situation and some of the security guys throw their weight around by saying it’s private property and that you can’t take photographs. They’re wrong on both fronts. The street is part of the public realm and it’s everyone First Amendment constitutional right to take photographs in that space. So, if you’re told not to take pictures, so long as you have a lawful right to be there, tell them that you know your rights and educate them about the First Amendment and that this is America, not Iran or China. Maybe you could print out the guidance below and offer it to them if it happens to you.

    For more information, see below:
    https://www.aclu.org/free-speech/know-your-rights-photographers

    I hope this helps all those avid fans out there without whom these movies would have no audience and would therefore not be made in the first place.

    • Agreed I 1st for starters I gave up my Indian nationality to be here and we pay taxes. I was there all night from 9:30am-5am I was told by one of the crewpeople that I was welcome to even go by Aamir and asks feely for a pic and Aamir would not mind. One of the YRF lady name annonymous threatened to kick me off the set and no pics when I was by seven eleven. When Aby & Uday saw me & freelancer they were actually so nice & down to earth that they even came inside to stay with me & freelancer and took pics with us and hungout. Aby & Uday we love you man. We do understand the rules and for this movie to be a hit. I will also post that pic of mine after the release or on world premiere. The security that was hired also lied. “My name is Khan” and this is a real Khan in Chicago not SRK from the movie. I know I missed you A.K bhaijan since you were preparing for your secnes and saw you on your sets. Your perfect as a perfectionist. LIke to leave you message that the owners of Usamania Restaurant has asked me to ask you to please come there anytime. Thanks.. That’s all & Yes “Aal Izz Well” Best of Luck. S.H.K

  339. Met Aamir today. He came out of his van and greeted the crowd. However, some of the fans in the crowd were really respectful and causing unnecessary frenzy. They were pushing and pulling. This really caused Amir to return back to his van. Also, a strong advice for those who bring their kudos alibi. Please understand that there is giving to be some firm of pushing raking place in the crowd. Why bring a 10 month old when you cannot handle it in the first place. Aamir was happily greeting the fans and taking pictures as well. But this half wit fan ruined it fir so many of us who were waiting for nearly 3 hours. The kid almost dropped from the parent’s arm. Aamir himself git shocked and returned back to his van.

  340. The schedule that says roads closed from 4pm on Saturday, does that mean that they start shooting from that time or much later in the night?

  342. so I finally met him today . he shook my hand for a good minute. AHHHH I am soo happy and in shock. he is a very nice guy. I like to thank everyone who commented on his whereabouts and shooting schedule and tips.. Because of you all I got a chance to meet him.

    I suggest go tomorrow and stand outside his trailer. you will def. land up seeing him.

  344. Shooting cancelled just walked by the location suppoedly, and they are no signs saying no parking etc, on dearborn by daley center. They are taking a day off today, and coming tomorrow thats what the store owner inside daley said when i asked him if he got some sort of notice form city about closing.. can someone else confirm?

    • According to Aatdi’s post, it says: Just got notified. Shooting is not cancelled. They just postponed it. They will be shooting tonight starting 11pm

  349. guys i think shooting is cancelled, i mean there are NO signs anywhere, even if the shooting was at 11pm they would still have road closure signs already posted since they cant have people park in that area, if no sign people are free to park they cant kick them out than. again THERE ARE NO SIGNS to block the road.

  350. hey everyone.not sure whether the shooting is cancelled or not tonight, but their trailors are parked on wells right around washington.i just drove by about 30 minutes ago and there was a small crowd there on the corner, but it could mean nothing at all. im going to try and go back a little later and see if anything is going on.

  352. hello does anyone know where the shooting is going on, this is my first time going to dt. so id really appreciate it.

    thanks a lot

    • Can any one send the exact location of AK. Is the shooting going on today. Going to leave for downtown soon. Greatly appreciate if any one knows the info.. thanks

  357. Is the Shooting going on tonight.. Leaving for downtown soon. Greatly appreciate if someone can please send me the location of info.. thanks

  361. We r standing on dearborn and washington. Some people are close to the shooting but security is not allowing us to go close. Body double shooting going on

  363. Can anyone see ak or ab? I’m planning on going now but it’s quite a commute. Would appreciate it if someone could update. Thanks

    • shooting was going on till 6:00 am Sunday but didn’t see AK and AB as they are doing with duplicates now at Dearborn & State as well as at Dearborn & Randolph…Good luck couldn’t wait anymore so left…

    • Wow…. They should at least let people know beforehand if the shooting is cancelled. It shows how much they care about people lurking around streets at night.

      I work in downtown so if I get to see them shooting during daytime over weekdays then its fine and if I don’t see them, its still fine 🙂

      Lot of great stuff to do in life than to juggle around to see them 🙂

  365. Reached the place no sign of ak or ab. Everyone is on break. No shooting for another 1 or 2 hrs. Only stunt guys. Street blocked 1block. Can hardly see anyone. Thanks

    • Kavita!

      So sorry for if you didn’t get to see the celebs! I know how you feel–I’ve been dying to see them as well. On the bright side, they are here for almost another two months.

      So you’re next trip downtown will be worthwhile, hopefully we all continue to update with accurate info, but also make sure that we do so as soon as we find out 🙂

      Let’s keep our fingers crossed and count on seeing a few stars by next week!

      Tom Paul

  366. Shooting is indoors ab ak are not going to come by trailers as their stylist took everything with them they are not coming to the trailers

  367. Just wanted to tell everyone that you have all been a big help in posting accurate information on the shootings! 🙂 One of my my friends is practically in love with Aamir Khan and she got the chance to see him up close either Thursday or Friday.

    My family is looking forward to the future shooting scenes in the upcoming weeks as well. Please keep updating and I will ask my friends to do the same. By the time the movie is finished filming, wouldn’t be surprised if each of us has a framed photo with AB, AK, or KK sitting on the mantel above our fireplaces 🙂

    Have a wonderful rest of the weekend and hopefully many of us snap a picture with the celebs sometime this week!

    Best,
    Tom Paul

    • Photos sitting on the mantel ??? That is go gay man. Sorry. It’s ok to get romantic as a fan, but publicly admitting it…dunno about that.

      • Haha alright, Akash, I guess I did take it a little too far! Let’s still hope to at least put a picture with one of them up on Facebook. Better?

  372. Where and what time is the the shooting today? Somebody Plz help me out. I wanna go see them today since I have today off from work. Can somebody tell me where I would be able to find AK today?

  373. Guys, the fans are making it difficult for everyone else to meet them. No one but Uday came to the trailer yeterday for 5 mins. The crowd just attacks all the stars so they are not coming out as much as they did before. I am not sure they will come to trailers today either, i met AK and AB and Madhavan when they were leaving for their car’s yesterday, AB came and took a few pics, but AK saw the mob and he literally left by just waving. I think its all about timing too, less people might come today since they have to work.

  374. Aamir was there yesterday at city hall around 1 am on august 26th he came by the window and waved at everyone for over 10 mins ppl that were waiting outside and soon after he left from there.

      • PK Talli’s picture is no surprise. As Arita pointed out, Friday and Saturday will always be the most crowded days because people are off of work and it’s the weekend therefore fans have the time to commute downtown. Weekdays should be much less crowded.

        • Tom Paul and Christine,
          I’ve not got an opportunity to see AK, AB, UC.really want to meet them but I think its better to leave those guys alone. By posting locations etc we are making them uncomfortable. People are crowding the scenes, pushing, pulling etc unnecessarily. This is bad for the filming crew, for the actors and for fans as well. We are seeing unexpected crowding.

          I would recommend not posting locations at all and letting the fans just figuring it out. I live in the burbs and I don’t really care if location is posted. Because if I go there, all the crowding won’t let me take pics. So what is the point of going all the way to the city.

          • Raksha,

            You bring up a really good point. We should all definitely control ourselves and remember that the D3 cast and crew are here to film (not take pictures with fans).

            Posting locations is still okay to do. Thousands of films around the world are shot ever year and going to see the shootings can be a very memorable experience for everyone–it’s a very exciting time for Chicago.

            However, there can certainly be a limitation on how much information is put up. I think that the schedule that Man Jaan had put up last week of the street closures was more than enough info for all fans. After that point, it seems like we may have started to impose on D3’s filming and lives by putting up specific times and street intersections that AK was spotted (“next to Cosi at 3 pm”, for example).

            Again, it’s up to everyone to decide what he or she wants to do (we can’t tell someone not to post). But hopefully we can all remember to control ourselves when we’re at the shooting locations.

            Tom Paul

            • The fact that people are swarming the locations at 2AM in the morning bothers me. I understand that we are all fans who want to meet the stars, but this leaves a bad impression on the community.

              My request to everyone is that to try and find different times to visit and not shout or scare the stars. If you guys push and pull you will never see the stars again. Do you guys really want this to happen? I don’t think so.

              • my kids want me to pick them up early from school tomorrow so we’ll probably drive downtown at 1pm and get there by 3pm. please let me know if anyone hears anything!

                Jeena

                • @ bollywood ####
                  I have kids aswell. I recommend that you confirm the shooting and location first before doing a early dismissal. So far they have always done a night shooting. Not sure if they will be in downtown @ 3 or later.
                  I like to meet the actors too but unfortunately due to the heavy crowed in the past, people like us wont even get a chance as we dont know the locations.
                  good luck. Keep me posted if you do see them. My kid wants to go but dont want to waste my time driving all the way to dt and not seeing anything

  379. I was there last night, the security guards had tight security outside the trailers after Friday’s fiasco. It is important that the people that are coming are respectful of the actors, if we are all quiet and standing there i am sure they will come take a pic if everyone is pushing and shoving no point!! they are leaving mid october, we should just be mindful of the actors when posting locations, this past weekend was nuts.

  380. I think people who hav already taken glimps of AK, AB etc.. should nt go again,,, as it turns in crowd..
    give chance to other people who hav nt gone…

  383. To all,

    There has recently been a lot of talk about the overexcitement of the crowds during Dhoom 3 Shooting. Arita, Raksha, Jay, Anu, Pihu, and a couple others have brought up this concern.

    The first two weeks that Dhoom 3 cast and crew came and shot in Chicago were very memorable for everyone. My own brother called me up and was incredibly excited that he saw Aamir Khan from a distance.

    This website and its viewers are only small portion of the Bollywood fans in Chicago. However, Facebook connects the entire world along with all of Illinois and Chicago. The truth is that ever since SB, Shilpa, and Jill created the Dhoom3 Shooting Facebook Fan Page (https://www.facebook.com/Dhoom3ChicagoShooting
    ), thousands of Bollywood fans have had access to the shooting locations and this, in my opinion, is the reason security has had a hectic time controlling the crowd. SB, Shilpa, and Jill had very good intentions, but things, unintentionally, turned in the wrong direction.

    Obviously, viewers of this site will share information with close friends and family, but the rate of passing information around will not even come close to what Facebook is capable of.

    1. I think that SB, Shilpa, and Jill should delete the Dhoom3 Shooting Facebook Fan Page and 2. viewers and members of this website should continue to update us with credible information. This way, shooting information will only be disclosed to people on this website instead of everyone who has a Facebook (if any of you periodically checked out the Facebook Fan Page, the number of fans increased drastically in a span of a couple of days: jumping from 30 to 300 and now 500+).

    Looking forward to hearing updates for this week (only on this site).

    Regards,
    Tom Paul

    • Tom – I agree with you. SB, Jill whoever crated the FB fan page, please delate it. It’s causing trouble the stars and the fans. Let’s continue to update this site.

      Thanks

    • Tom Paul,
      I didn’t create a facebook page. Local news (ABC, NBC, WGN) also showing the Dhoom 3 shooting on TV. I didnt’ even get a chance to see the shooting, my son is dying to see Aamir Khan and haven’t get a chance.

      Thanks!

    • Agree with Tom. Chicago is already populated with a huge number of Bollywood fans and the word has already spread about the shooting via other media so no need to advertise and attract even larger and unmanageable crowds via FB. I’m sure they have hired only a limited number of security people.

      • i agree too becauz by deleting the fb page lot of people will look for the location on their own rather than relying on the fb page to tell them. Keep updating on this blog thnx!!!

    • btw this is nt a knowledge… this is a information… thr is difference between knowledge and information… 🙂
      here most of the contributors of this page are providing information abt shooting since day 1… which is helping all of us too…
      see the FB page.. which has lot of potential to spread all this INFO.. without contributing anything .. none of them provided info abt shooting .. thr is no giv n take policy… only take and take.. and the output is …see that FB page you will come to know how many people visited shooting location… who are nt e1 contributing here… and got chance to see them… and we who r contributing… nt e1 got a chance..

  386. I agree with Tom Paul – I was there when this blog initially started with the updates – it was easier to meet the stars and even watch — tw first two weeks security wasn’t so aggressive …and we met Ab, Ak up close…less than a foot in front of us…I think we need to simmer down.

  387. violating?
    7) If at all the FB page attributed to the crowding (which I don’t think it did), I think it has to be with the link connected to this website. So maybe the best thing to do it remove links to this website from the FB page.

  388. Tom (and
    others who feel FB page should be deleted),

    Here are my thoughts on this.

    1) The FB page was created not to share location information by the minute (as people do on this page here), but to share the memorable experiences and see that on the beautiful Facebook timeline.
    2) Users who liked the FB page are not really trying to hunt down shooting locations, but they are rather just fans who probably like Dhoom series and/or three cast and just like that they are shooting in Chicago.
    3) The number of users on this page have increased a lot from what it used to be before, so its more likely that initially who shared it with their close friends had their friends share it with their other close friends and the snowball effect
    4) Last week was the first time schedule was posted in advance here, and you can imagine all the subscribers to the page would have gone on the weekend. I doubt there was anyone who came there looking at FB considering FB page was created only last Thursday .
    5) Keeping aside the fact that the FB is not intended to share location by the minute, why do you think its fair to share the location details on this page and not on FB? Based on the fact that this page is one of the first results in Google when you search for ‘dhoom3 Chicago shooting’, this page has greater capacity to spread location info to the greater public.
    6) Rai, how does this FB page violate FB policies? Can you point me to a FB policy link which you think it might be
    violating?
    7) If at all the FB page attributed to the crowding (which I don’t think it did), I think it has to be with the link connected to this website. So maybe the best thing to do it remove links to this website from the FB page.

    • Copyright violation – without quoting reference you are posting discussion with person’s name on your FB page… which is the biggest violation…

      and b’coz of your page who hav nt e1 contributed on this page met AK, AB and others… how silly this is.. :))))))))))…

  389. I agree with Tom. FB page should be deleted. Let the viewer upload the videos on youtube and share it on this site. Alternatively, the creaters of the FB page have to ensure that no comments related to location is posted on FB. There should be no refernce or link back to this blog. Only things being posted should be videos and photos.

    Also lets bring this down a notch. On this site also, lets not post any locations and timings in advance, road closing information will be enough and should. Everyone knows that the shooting is in downtown and they can figure it out when they come to downtown.

    Too many comments being sent back and forth.

    Its hard to meet the stars and security is getting stricter since the crowd is growing and most importantly crowd is going wild. I would request that people who have already got a chance to meet the stars please do not revisit the shooting locations and give other people a chance.

    Thanks

  391. guys, last week was the only week where we knew the schedule ahead of time because someone got an office memo, this week no one will know we will have to go back to old ways of finding out if someone walks by and see it and posts. If you know anything, i would suggest that you tell people the day off like an hour before, oh i just walked by etc etc and spotted dhoom 3 shooting, otherwise getting the info before hand is not good, people are driving down from wisconsin, detriot etc. just some food for thought. atleast that way the crowd is not like 500 ppl!

    • Jay, any details of shooting schedule and location today? I plan to travel from Naperville with family after work today. Please share details if you know…

      Thanks!

      Rgds

      • Hi Prashant….sorry but I have no idea. I was just following Man jan’s schedule till sunday. After looking at the crowd and security on sat…I didnt go on sunday…I hope I get to see Ak 🙁

        • Thanks Shilpa, ya hope for the best. I too din’t go yest due to rains and with kids wasn’t a goot bet. Want to go today so looking for some heads of location as wud be travelling from Naperville. 🙂 Will keep posted if get to know anything.

          Thanks!

  392. That’s true..another reason this week probably saw many people was the night filming – more people are free and stuff…during the day, no one can leave work and come….so the crowds are probably smaller.

  399. I am in complete agreement with SB.

    I didn’t even know about the Facebook page till Tom criticised it in his post. Thanks for that Tom. There is such a thing as the freedom of speech in this country and, so long as nobody is breaking the law, everyone has a right to post to either this page or to the Facebook page. Don’t threaten or try to censure others. If you feel strongly about the larger crowds then do not preach but take action yourselves. Do NOT post locations to this or any other page, do NOT attend film sets as it draws the attention of other fans and do not post pictures etc …You’re as much a part of the problem as anyone else.

    These pages aren’t responsible for the disorder which has been seen more recently but it’s down to the individuals attending. That includes some of the people who post and read this page. As time passes, the number of people who learn of the filming will increase and so will the crowds. I witnessed everything that happened on Friday and it was scary because security didn’t have a grip on the situation and that doesn’t mean barking orders at people – that simply does not work.

    The fans are well meaning and don’t intend to create such disorder and, quite frankly, it’s not their fault. The crowd is made up of a number of individuals who don’t know each other but are excited to see their heroes. Conversely, the production crew on site is working with the police and security. They co-ordinate the filming and communicate with each other. What happens at the location is their responsibility and only they can prevent such disorder being repeated. They need to MANAGE the crowd effectively; that’s not happening. Only they can create a comfortable environment for all.

    If some structure was created for these ‘meet and greet’ opportunities, people would be more likely to behave in an orderly manner. All they have to do is give some printed flyers to people giving the information and rules. People can read them at their leisure while they’re waiting and they should understand that if they breach the boundary, the ‘meet and greet’ is over. It only takes one person to breach the tape and everyone will follow.

    I am not a ‘fan’ and do not watch Bollywood movies but appreciate that many others are. It’s a great experience to witness a movie being filmed and especially with friends who are excited to see these stars in Chicago. The filming of Transformers 3 in Chicago had considerably bigger sets, drew considerably bigger crowds and yet there were none of these issues. There’s a clearly still a huge gulf between Hollywood and Bollywood. They’re supposed to be professionals so let them do their job and manage the crowd. The actors have been great but, so far, they’re being let down by the team around them who probably have no experience of managing a Bollywood crowd.

          • No shooting going on right now. How do I know? Well ‘coz I saw all the vans, trailers, and everything else parked in the area that D3 is using for shunting additional vehicles. Where is that location? That I would rather not disclose for many reasons but mostly ‘coz of weirdness that ensues with each location related posting.

            • Hey Neil, am seriously interested to know the locaiton and have a glimpse of the shooting, visited location late night on Friday with kids and parents but couldn’t meet stars. Could you please share details?

              Thanks!

              Rgds
              Prashant

              • Dude, all I said was that shooting couldn’t be going on earlier today since I saw ALL their vehicles in their storage parking lot. I don’t know where they are shooting on Friday or any other day. Sorry.

  402. Guys I do not think the posting of locations or FB pages will make any difference. The issue here is rowdy crowds who think these actors owe them something because they happen to be in their town. I have been on the set many times recently and all I can say if you all keep up this rude behavior it will only hurt us.

    These guys specially Aamir was with just two of his indian bodyguards when they started and now it has swelled to 6 guys to protect him from the crazy devon based crowds. I was around some of them this weekend and you had to see some of them screaming and yelling at the set security slurs and curse words for no reason. Seriously folks they do not need to do anything for us fans at this time. This is their job and let them do their jobs. If you all calm down and in act humans again they will come take pictures with the fans. At this time they are terrified more than anything from the crowd and delay of the film.

    Hope you all understand and get your acts together and then see what happens.

    • Where n when they r to b out today? I went out last night from 10pm to 1am couldn’t find Amir K. I don’t want to waste another trip to down town, coming from 40 miles away.

    • Where n when they r to b out today? I went out last night from 10pm to 1am couldn’t find Amir K. I don’t want to waste another trip to down town, coming from 40 miles away.
      Im not one of those fans thats gonna act a fool. Just wanna know real facts.

  404. seems b’coz of copyright violation fear person who created that FB page removed all discussions taken from this blog…. :))))))
    kindly remove that page too… as i feel earlier only max 100 followers were thr bt now on FB added 611… so it will be very difficult in coming days to e1 hope to see shooting…
    request to a creator of that page… to remove that page… to owe respect to all contributors b’coz of whome might u got chance to see them..

    • Firstly, unless the people posting on this blog use their real names, they can have no expectation of protection through copyright since there is no formal entity which can take the benefit. Secondly, unless the information was orginally created by the person posting it, that person cannot benefit from copyright protection as they’re simply conveying information which has already been distributed elsewhere, i.e. there is no breach of copyright. Thirdly, EVEN if an entity possesse copyright ( i.e. the person has used his/her real name and was the orginal author of the information being posted), so long as it’s credited back to the author/website, there is no breach of copyright. There is also de minimis rule which applies to this sort of situation.

      When there are so many fans who have still seen nothing yet, it is particularly mean spirited and shameful of some of the people here who are choosing to restrict the distribution of information so that they can keep and enjoy the experience to themselves. You should take no joy in scaring people who only meant to try and help everyone in the first place to the extent that they have removed information which was completely legitimate. If you’ve already seen them, time to move on and let others have the same opportunity that you have enjoyed.

      • first of all let me tell u yet i hav nt had an opportunity to see them… bt after watching and reading all this mess… i felt that FB page is really bothering to all fans and dhoom3 actors, crew, etc ..

        have u seen any1 created any page on FB for other shootings happening in other cities…abt which info is given on this blog… no right..

        then we should also keep it up to this blog only let people come across to this blog follow it and come to see the shooting… as this blog is the place to know abt the location of shooting…

        and look i m nt against of sharing information… bt yes i m against of creating a page on social networking site… that FB page unncessarily troublled every1.. intern it created mess…

      • also check Neil’s response… now dont think people will share info/ location etc on this blog or on FB… see wht happened….

        • “first of all let me tell u yet i hav nt had an opportunity to see them… bt after watching and reading all this mess… i felt that FB page is really bothering to all fans and dhoom3 actors, crew, etc .. “

          If you haven’t been to see them, you are forming your opinion on the information which has been shared here. Before commenting, I would suggest that you experience the reality first hand.

          “have u seen any1 created any page on FB for other shootings happening in other cities…abt which info is given on this blog… no right..”

          This point is moot. If someone wants to form a Facebook page, they’re free to do so.

          “then we should also keep it up to this blog only let people come across to this blog follow it and come to see the shooting… as this blog is the place to know abt the location of shooting…”

          I’m not disagreeing with posting information on this site but people are free to post information wherever they want to. At least if anyone posts to the Facebook page, they’re not getting grief from other people. The value and credibility of this site is fast diminishing and that’s to everyone’s detriment. Although it would certainly solve the issue of fans turning up on location, it’s exactly what some people here want.

          “and look i m nt against of sharing information… bt yes i m against of creating a page on social networking site… that FB page unncessarily troublled every1.. intern it created mess…”

          How do you know the increased awareness wasn’t because of this site? Try to find the Facebook page on Google and then try to find this one. It is THIS site which is generating the traffic and increasing the number of fans on locations. I didn’t even know about the Facebook page till Tom posted it here.

          “about this copyright… check the privacy policy of this website… u ll come to know wht i m talking abt..
          https://onlocationvacations.com/privacy-policy/
          Web Site Terms and Conditions of Use… check Use License… ”

          The Terms & Conditions state, “The materials contained in this web site are protected by APPLICABLE copyright and trade mark law”. “Applicable” is the operative word here. De minimis rule applies and If the information is credited, there simply is no issue. Furthermore, any information which may have been copied has not being used for commercial purposes. Copyright applies whether there are terms and conditions or not but it’s inclusion here is to protect against information being copied for commercial gain.

          It’s Neil’s prerogative not to post information. People can choose if they post, what to post and where they post. Nobody on this site is using their real names. If this site used Facebook Connect, I’m sure people would be behaving and posting differently because they would no longer be anonymous.

          We can continue to debate this but ultimately it’s down to individual choice. I hope you get a chance to enjoy this Bollywood experience just as I hope that many others do to. I’m not a start struck person so, personally, it’s not for me but I respect other people’s Constitutional right to run around and enjoy their freedom to watch, photograph and post locations (wherever it’s lawful to do so) and so should everyone else.

          • hi,

            i found this blog hoping to take my kids to a Dhoom 3 shooting. it looks like there is some argument going on, but can we all please forget about it and focus on sharing locations with everyone? unless you want to post information on the shooting, i’d greatly appreciate it if you stop arguing because i keep getting emails.

            thanks in advance!
            Jeena

            • Apologies to Jeena and others who are getting notification for my post..

              so let me come out from this discussion… once again apologies to all for the notification email u jst now recd.

              Bye All..

              • hey Prashant!

                i haven’t heard anything yet, but my kids want me to take them to the city tomorrow after their school gets out. please let us know if you find anything out!

                Jeena

      • Bullshit Ignite. They are stored close to where I live and I don’t live anywhere close to Monroe or Clark. Stop confusing people with useless gibberish. Anyways it shouldn’t be of importance to anyone where these vehicles are stored. My point earlier was that they were not shooting when I made that last post.

  407. Stop arguing and holding on to info, just be clever how you are disclosing it.

    1. I think NO notice of advance shooting should be made public on this page.
    2. Only put location info day of the shooting maybe like when it has actually started.
    3. Lets not forget, we are all here to just see one of the stars, no need to get hostile and tell people not to come if they have seen them etc.

  408. i think that one should post the location on the night beforethe day of the shooting.
    PLEASE STOP ARGUING becauz we were working as a team n lets not forget that one stops posting locations it is goin 2 become like hell on this blog
    TEAM WORKS
    LETS KEEP POSTING PLEASE
    Thankyou

  409. Thank you, everyone, for your help. I do agree that it is unnecessarily getting out of hand at the shooting sites. There is more than one way to do things – one can be civil which has a greater likelihood of making the entire experience pleasant for the actors as well as the spectators (thus encouraging the actors to interact with the fans and the fans to remain civil)…or…we can go about it the way it seems to have been over the weekend which makes it difficult for everyone – which can have consequences greater than we may immediately realize (we want Chicago to be known as a good place to film, right?)

    In my humble opinion, let the fb page be, that will sort of flounder on its own as ppl realize its not a source for information. Until there is agreement and understanding that we need to represent our community well and respect the actors, it will be counterproductive to broadcast info on such high volume sites.

    My .02 contribution. I appreciate your guys’ honest pointers as to the best sites to watch the shooting. I think, generally, ppl on this board agree what’s the better/safer way to enjoy this experience.

  411. I was one of those who came early on Friday and stayed till late to see AK. I hoped to take a personal picture with him or even just shake hands and exchange a few words. As the evening grew, more people showed up. Its alright that there was a crowd, but not alright that the crowd went wild and acted immaturely. Grabbing and pushing to get to AK was poor judgment some people had and that ruined the night for a lot of us and has since led to a lot of disagreements on this forum. My husband and I were disappointed since I had waited long and only managed to be pushed away by the crowd.

    I request people who show up at locations to be more civil and courteous. Everyone wants to catch a glimpse of their favorite celebrity, but lets all do it respectfully.

    Figuratively speaking who knows, if we all form a neat line to shake his hands, the order we have might surprise them and encourage them to interact with us, rather than having his bodyguards fight us off.

    • I enjoy reading the comments section and stories about fan interactions on this blog, as if I am there with the people who have visited the sets (minus the rowdy/wild crowd). Please post the pics, videos and interesting stories on this blog. Even if some of us can’t make it to the shooting, we enjoy reading about the experiences.

    • Hilarious!! Especially in fast motion. Why would you bring a kid in a stroller that late at night and that too to downtown, like the kid is going to care 20 years from now.

      • I hear some people brought babies, at like 3 in the morning, diaper bag and all. I don’t know how I feel about that. Especially with the crowd as rowdy as it has been.

  424. Good morning all. This morning on my way to work, I saw the “special effects” and “conrad” trucks parked on the corner or michigan and randolph. Not sure if this means anything or not, it may not. the drivers may have just been having a cup of coffee accross the street. If anyone else passes by the area, give us a heads up if there is any activity. Its a pretty major intersection to shut down to film during the day, so I am a little curious. They were on Randolph just past michigan. Thanks.

  425. Just passed randoplh and franklin. The trailers and trucks are all parked there, looks like they might be shooting tonight or maybe even in the afternoon. Please let me know if you guys see anything.

  426. Dhoom 3 update: city of chicago street closure stickers around 1 block NEWS (North, East, West, South) of Randolph and Franklin – 4 AM 08/30/12 – 7 AM 08/31/12. Vanity vans at NorthWest corner of Randolph and Franklin. More details to follow….

    • Vanity vans at NorthWest corner of Randolph and Franklin. when i passed from there they were setting up stuff…So I guess they are filming in the night there…

  428. Just talked to 3 different film crew guys. 1st person said actors will be coming tonight after 11pm sometime. 2nd person said it’s just the stunt guys tonight. 3rd person said Amir is not coming. Take yor pick lol. Only thing for sure is they will be filming tonight. As for me I’m going home too long of a wait.

  430. Dhoom 3 on Randolph and Franklin tonight.. But not until 4am or so, also Today Aamir becomes the first and only Male Actor in the history of Bollywood to have been feature on the cover of #Time… Congrats to all AK fans !

            • yesterday they were shooting in downtown. wacker dr. Saw Abhishek, amir and uday. They were shooting till 4am. Not sure if its rumors or what.. but they will be shooting @ six flags. Not sure when though.
              Good luck everyone with the long weekend crowd to see celebrities. I would not recommend anyone going with kids. It gets very crazy!!!!

              • Yeah shooting was going on last night but unfortunately could not see anyone 🙁
                Hope can get a chance to see them over the weekend despite the fact that crowd will be craaaazy

              • Yes. They will be shooting at Great America but don’t know when. There were casting calls for kids for the Great America shooting.

                • Just saw this on the casting website: “DHOOM 3 needs 16 and 17 year olds for GREAT AMERICA SCENE most likely 9/05, but could be the 6th or 7th depending on the weather”

  437. They are shooting by shed aquarium but they are not letting anyone in. Actors were not there as of now. I don’t know if they are gonna come. Good luck! 🙂

  438. Hey, just an FYI, I got another tip that are filming around S. CLARK & MONROE on Sat and Sun but I really can’t confirm but in case anyone wants to check it out jut wanted to give you the head’ up!

  439. I heard that he is gonna come late at night.. But no point in going DT today.. Security will not let u in any case in the shed aquarium. I just returned back from downtown and only got the pics of the bikes 🙂

  440. Dhoom 3 is filming around Wells and Wacker in Chicago on Saturday and Sunday night.

    Sign for filming on Saturday and Sunday also spotted at S Clark and Monroe , W Randolph St and N Dearborn St (Saturday only), and N State St and W Adams St (Sunday only).

  445. Yup shooting happened last night at Shedd Aquarium. We were there till 4:15, at 3:45 Aamir Khan’s agent asked us fans to come to the trailer as he will take a picture with all the fans. There were not many people out there and we got a pic with Aamir Khan!

  448. Can someone please let me know where and when shooting will take place? I don’t want to come down there for nothing, coming from surburbs!

  450. The actors’ vanity vans (AK, AB, UC) are at Randolph and LaSalle. They’re shooting tonight but it’s indoor stuff at Clark and Washington by City Hall. I already gave this info to the FB page to publish as well. Have a good evening!

  456. Today Monday Sep 3 , they have day off and having a unit party (private function, so not allowing public) at 223 Lake Street (Vintage Bar and Grill) from 9.00 pm onwards.

    Tomorrow is Sep 4 they are non filming and Sep5, 6 and 7 they are at Six Flags.

    • If you are married, take a pic with your husband which will you love it forever. If you are not married, find one and take a pic 🙂
      Its ok not to have a pic with actors. How many do you have till now? Did it matter till now? lol

      • Hey no 1 asked u abt ur suggestion..this is a pure
        Fan follower site, so people here share their feelings n experience
        Meeting with Aamir..So pls get a life…

      • Same applies to you Chicago: Why are you wasting your time on this blog? Blog with your significant other instead – which you will cherish forever!! Does it really matter to you to be on this blog? Shouldn’t you find a better way to use your time.

        • Hi SP …I am a huge fan of Aamir…But, I don’t live in Chicago….I will be there, in Oct 1st week…Do you have any idea whether the shooting, still be going on? Where can I find the updates on their shooting schedule….plzzzzz let me know, if you know anything about it….

          • Hi Reem,
            I get most of my info from this website but I am also in touch with couple Casting sites (can’t give info here) and get some info from there but not much. I know this week they are at Great America 9/5, 9/6 and 9/7 (weather permitting). After that, I am not sure but if I do find out, I will post the info. I live about a 4 hour commute from Chicago but come visit often.

    • Seema, You will be able to get your pic. Follow the location suggestions on this site. I used this website and the Facebook website and was able to get enough info to head out Sunday AM to his vanity. Sure enough, met him and took a pic. Where there’s a Will, There’s a Way.

    • Hi SP, Seema:
      Do you have any information of their schedule after Great America? I have been trying to see Aamir for quite some time but have no luck.

      • yeah i confirmed with great america that the park is closed until saturday..so this is prob because they have booked it for the shooting. best option is weekend night i have heard. we were out there yesterday but had no luck since they weren’t shooting.

    • yea this is the location
      they also need kids from age 13 to 18 and any and all parents for the scene for most likely 3 days and one must be there for the whole time. (TIME GIVEN BY THE CREW).
      they are willing to pay about $90 / day
      they are still signing up people

    • yes and i dont know abt the role
      i can post up the website as soon as someone gives me permission on this blog to do it
      becauz earlier someone said that not to post any other info regarding casting websites

  471. I went to 6 flags today and cautiously got pictures prom public areas as I wasn’t supposed to be in the private areas where trespassing wasn’t allowed…Followed Aamir’s car at 8 pm (which was followed by a gray SUV always) from the parking lot of 6 flags to his hotel Courtyard Marriott near Walmart. The crew is not commuting from Chicago for the six flags schedule…they are staying in the neighborhood of Six Flags. PS: Pics/Video coming up soon.

  480. Hey guy someone just emailed me this tip (fyi):

    Dhoom 3 is filming around W Van Buren St and S Clark Chicago and around E Lake St and N Garland CT today

  481. guys need your help please…
    any idea about amir’s shooting venues for September8/9/10?? location/timing etc??
    pls help me if you can ..thanks a lot

    • Had family members go to AK & AB trailers last night around 10pm. I very nice African American security personal said shooting will take place from 7am to 7pm Sunday. We’re advice to come in the morning to get a chance to meet the stars. Best chances are when no one is around. As Christine stated before all the streets where they will be Sunday. good luck everyone! I hope to meet Amir Khan very soon 🙂

  486. writing “they are shooting right now” will not help anyone, if you want to share, then share whats credible and not what raises false hopes among us….

  489. Today, Amitabh, Abhisek and Aamir (Triple A) were together on shooting……….
    Most probably there is no shooting today night as per information given by one of the crew member…….

    Just inform the schedule for tomorrow if any one have.

      • I think he is lying…….response would have flooded today if all 3 were present. Also exact location would have been mentioned number of times along with some photos. No response from girls? Next time liars better create some girl ID.
        I might be wrong but this is what common sense is about!

        • He maybe right. There was no outdoor shooting in the evening and it was raining.
          SrBachchan: “T 860 – Landed new destination ! Jet lagged ! Fiercely ! But with hope and expectation .. to be with loved ones, to recoup, to resolve !!”

  491. I Have never lied in the past, so please check your facts. amitabh and abhishek were there today at the shooting check twitter sites people saw them both. Get a life this page is suppose to help people see the movie shooting not create drama.

  493. Are they shooting today? Can you please some one tell me the locations, i’m dying to see the shooting but never get a chance. Please….

    Thanks!

    • This is the type of information which is needed. Exact Location!
      People learn something from this person and try not to comment ” We spotted so and so”. “Here are the Pics” etc. Many carry smartphones and it does not take time to update the exact location.

  497. dhoomgotdoomed your drama, your creating problems. First telling people are liars than saying give excat location, maybe some peope dont want to because that means 100+ people will start showing up.

  504. I was listening to the security people there today and they said its the same timing tomorrow (630 to 630) but along the river? Apparently it’s going to be a water chase scene – don’t know along what part of the Chicago river though….

      • LOCATION UPDATE –

        Saw the crew and filming this morning on the river, as mentioned – exact location – Chicago river at Michigan and Wacker intersection.
        Waited around for AK for a while but no luck…maybe he’ll come around later in the day.
        But his stunt double was filming.

  506. does anyone know if they are still filming right now or during the rest of the day today, and if anyone has any info for tomorrow or the rest of the week, please please please share!!!

    • Hi Christine – Not sure, but we definitely saw them filming in the river this morning at 8AM. Like I said it was stunt doubles filming…and one of the crew told us they are there the whole day.

  508. They are definitely still here on the river – saw AB just a few min ago. They are by the lake shore bridge – but u can’t get close to that – so see from the Columbus bridge on the north side – south side river walk is closed from michigan to lake shore for the shooting.

  509. They are definitely still here on the river – saw AB just a few min ago. They are by the lake shore bridge – but u can’t get close to that – so see from the Columbus bridge on the north side

  510. They are definitely still here on the river – saw AB there. They are by the lake shore bridge – but u can’t get close to that – so see from the Columbus bridge on the north side – they told me south side river walk is closed from michigan to lake shore

  512. I am hearing that they are on michigan and wacker for a water chase scene. Is this the correct location? If not then can someone tell me the exact location?

  513. Today i was at Michigan and Walker at 11-00 a.m. and again at 6-00 p.m. I did not see anything, asked guys who sell boat tour tickets, they said there was no any film shootings. Can some one tell me any filming on Tue and Wed. I came from suburb staying in downtown to see some stars. Please post here if some one has any clues. Thx in advance

    • That is strange, because my friends and I got to the location and saw them at 3pm They shot till 3:25. We were told that they would shoot at the top of every hour for half an hour and then stop for half an hour to let other boats through. We were lucky because while waiting between shots on his jet ski we were able to exchange a few words with him from the river walk area. Maybe he felt more comfortable since he was on the river and we were at the river walk, so at a distance.

  522. My friends and I were at Randoph and Lasalle, and in the downtown vicinity from around 12-2 am…there were no vanity vans or hints of filming. Just wanted to give you guys an update.

  523. Stunt scenes being shot for past 1+ hours at the Chicago Rver Wabash bridge. The bridge is up and Aamir’s stuntman is on it with his bike.

    • Just planning to visit chicago on 20th sept all the way from Gerogia. Can any one find out when and where they will be shooting on Sep 20th? This will help a lot. Big fan of aamir as we all are 🙂

  535. Wabash and Columbus isn’t quite correct but thanks for the tip.
    Found them near Columbus and Wacker….The vanities are under the bridge…They’ve just returned from lunch…Good luck to all who plan on going!

  538. I’m here at Wacker and Columbus. All the actors left, about a hour ago, it’s just stunt crew now. And a lot of crew people are packing up things.

  539. Yes, shooting was going on near the bridge after Columbus & Wacker, also Abhishek and Uday Chopra and their doubles were there. Got pictures of them, but not with them. Also, talked to a cameraman and he told me – same location tomorrow. Morning 7 to 5

        • Please keep your opinions to yourself. Everyone has a choice and it may not be the same as yours. This site is purely for communicating Dhoom shooting locations/time and also share pics and videos of the same. Keep it clean, take your conversations elsewhere or with your friends (not here).

          thanks.. Appreciate your understanding and corporation.

    • They are shooting by Columbus and wacker today . The shooting is going on in the river so if you go stand by the bridge, you’ll see all the shooting going on and it’s a clear view . I don’t know if Aamir khan is there because his stuntman was doing the scene yesterday but abhishek and uday are there.

  543. Yes! Aamir Khan was there. And the shooting will be going on until 5 as per a cameraman. I got good pictures of him. Abhishek and Uday weren’t there yet (but will be) , but their stunt doubles were there. Not sure, about tomorrow’s filming location, but a person said it won’t be there anymore.

  544. I just saw Aamir and Abhishek on the river walk at Lake Shore Dr and Wacker. We were walking on upper Wacker and Aamir and Abhishek waved at me and my friend from below.

  548. Thanks to Shred. Based on his posting I had been to Wacker Dr. and Columbus bridge. I saw Amir and he waved at us. I also saw Uday Chopra while returning back on the river walk. One of the security guy told me tomorrow they will be in the Chicago loop not in river. Another guy told me actors and crew may go back to thier homes for a week. It is not easy to trust, becuase no one wants to give right informations. Before u go to loop, please check one more time.
    I returned back to my northside suburb.

  550. Dhoom 3 shooting block away from my office – noticed following street closure signs at intersection of Franklin & Washington for this weekend:

    Fri 09/14 – 5PM – 3AM – On Franklin between Washington & Randolph
    Sat 09/15 – 9AM – 5PM – On Washington between Franklin and Wacker
    Sun 09/16 – 3:30PM – 10PM – On Washington between Franklin and Wacker

      • I just came back from the filming location – they have security all the way on the River Walk, they are not letting anyone get close. The crew told us filming will go on till 7 p.m. tonight, and they will be back tomorrow all day at the same location.

  554. Does anyone know when the Dhoom 3 shooting will be held on Sept 14, Sept 15, and Sept 16- I am a BIG fan of Aamir Khan and I reallllyyyy want to see him!

  557. Did the actors leave for tonigh?. I am planning to come around 11pm. If someone can confirm since I am coming all the way from romeoville, il

    • Since they were shooting during the day – its highly unlikely they will shoot tonight. your best bet is to come during the ay tomorrow – and from the posts above it sounds like they will still be by the river.

      • Thanks SFI … I avoid coming on a weekend.. All that hard work of staying in line to see him and finally when its time all the crowd goes nuts. I prefer less people. Perhaps I will wait for a weekday late night film shooting.

  562. Just saw Abhishek and Uday at the intersection of state and s water street, hotel 71…Abhishek wearing orange jacket and sitting on the corner.

  563. Got a chance to meet Aamir n Uday after shooting was over 🙂 :). They will be shooting all day tomorrow as well at the same river walk location till 5/6pm

  566. hey guys, do any of you know if they have started shooting and if Ak and AB were there? was planning to go to downtown in a bit and would appreciate any info. thanks

  568. does anyone know how long the shooting is today. I am thinking of getting there around 6pm tonight. its an hour drive so want to confirm. Anyone with correct info ?

  569. Does anybody know exactly where and what time they will be there tomorrow? Thinking of going but don’t want to waste a trip if they’re not going to be there.

      • R u sure Svendsen? because the crew member told me today that they reserved that spot for 5 days and Monday is the last day.Please reply me a.s.a. because I’m planning to go there tommarow again.

        • Unless they changed their time off schedule, Mondays are when they are off. They have been shooting at a stretch since last Tuesday (the river scene near Lakeshore), so I would be surprised if its not their day off tomorrow.
          Any how, don’t ever trust what the crew members say. Most of them have a false sense of entitlement. Typical desi better-than-others attitude. 🙂

    • Actually it seems they are indeed shooting in Chinatown today. Got this from chinatown website:

      Dhoom 3 will be filming in Chicago Chinatown’s Ping Tom Park and Chicago River! Please see the details below for road closures and helicopter and noise usage.
      DATE: Monday, September 17, 2012
      LOCATION: Chicago River between 18th Street & Cermak

      • hey guys, sorry I didnt add this sooner but I also got a tip they are filming today (kinda surprised too that they are filming on Monday, here’s what i heard: W 18th St and S Canal St, Chicago for today.

      • Hey guys – I’m not sure why so many people think Mondays are off for them… I think they take Tuesday off… For the last 4-5 Monday’s I’ve seen them work….I say this coz they’ve been around my office most Mondays… The loop. So it may be another day off like Tuesday or Wednesday.

  576. Hey, OLV peeps. I wanted to contribute since all you guys helped me so much. So I was in china town from about 3-6 pm. Found out alot happened/ got inside info:

    1) AK came out of his car to meet us (even though he had a plane to catch) and take a few group pics, AB drove past like we werent there.

    2) No shooting tomorrow, day is off.

    3) Weds and Thurs is in great america.

    Later. Keep the updates coming. We should all help each other out. Its a win-win.

    • I live near by the park. I take my son there all the time. The trucks are still there. Security told me there will be some shooting tomorrow. Not sure if it’s just stunts or not. May be the security didn’t know the details and they will be removed overnight.. I saw the bikes as well.. pretty cool. Wish I could have met the actors. My wife loves AK and Jr. AB… Uday, not so much lol

      • he is headed to newyork.. I was there today but a bit late not until 6pm. when I got there they were packing and did not land up seeing any actors. Felt a little dissapointed but its all good as I did shook amer khan’s hand once..

  578. Is there a dhoom3 shooting in great america? But jay said saw trucks at park ready for tomorrow shooting… so not sure whether to go tomorrow at park or not…. plz let me know really appreciate

  579. Seema even I just read this new abt aishwarya and her daughter leaving to chicago. There are some photos too taken in Mumbai international airport. I just googled and found it on some website called pinkvilla.com

  581. Shano – wow So cool! Good luck!

    I will be in Chicago on Friday and would love to know where the crew will be that evening. This is so exciting!

  582. Hey Everyone,

    You guys are awesome sharing all info, I am planning to come next week to Chicago on Wednesday or Thursday (I have read comment that it is better to come in weekday than in weekend).. can anyone please share any information about shooting location for next week?

    I came to Chicago in Labor day weekend but missed all stars, would like to definitely give it a chance again.. It’s a 5 hours drive for me from Michigan so would like to come early morning and ready spend whole day to have a chance to meet AK, AB.. (Of course a photo would be awesome..!)

    Thanks,

  587. Just happened to hit this site and saw all the comments.. its awesome to see someone you have been watching all along in movies, in real.

    Would love to catch a glimpse if these guys as well..
    anyone know where they will be shooting for the rest of the week if it is cancelled for today?

    Are pedestrians allowed around the shooting area? How do we get closer to the shoot without being shooed, shoved or stopped by security?

    • Hey OldFan –

      I’m glad you found the site. it is pretty neat to see them up close 🙂 I must say. I don’t have any filming details…someone else can throw light on that. Pedestrians can get as close as across the street – the best time to get closer is when there are fewer people…the more the crowd, the more the control.
      So pick times when there is likely to be lesser people…like middle of the day or end of the day. WHen there are less than 10 people, they don’t shoo any one away, in fact it’s easier to get a pic I think..I haven’t been that lucky, but some people have.
      so good luck with it! 🙂

  589. any idea where they will be shooting tomorrow 20th? please let me know fans. any help will be appreciated. i am coming down from atlanta ga

  593. That’s not true Sameer Patel. They are still in need of extras especially next month. They ended the main casting two months back…but casting for extras is still needed..standby as well. Sometimes the staff is told to not tell the truth. I work for one…I think I know.

    • They may not be filming in the city. I know they were to go back to china town area for possible shoot. Information from crew member. I don’t think they are in city today??

  600. Chandni,
    Sameer earlier commented that they may be at Great America (Six Flags ) this Thur….I have been to six Flags during the last schedule there but you can’t get close to vanities in the parking lot, at least not before 5 until when the guards are there…Even after that, it is technically illegal to enter the parking lot.

    • chandni, I wont recommend you to go all the way to gurnee mills great america. its a long long drive and not worth it. YOu wont be able to see them even if they are shooting there. AR is right.. The great america parking lot of gated and I highly doubt there is a way to enter..
      I feel bad you came all the way from georgia to see them. Perhaps stay couple of more days I am sure you will get to meet them.

  602. Thanks every1 I wish I can stay more but will b leaving at 2 tom. Lets see. If ne one has an update plzplz let me know. Till then I b roaming around tha river.lol 🙁

  606. I’ll be honest.. I love hindi movies but I don’t speak it. Main reason for me is to get my wife to see AK and take photo. She’s a big fan and I want to make that happen.

  609. also a good guess will be at least Jr. and family will head back to Mumbai for Sr. Bachchan’s 70th birthday smash around Oct 11 and then Jr. Bachchan will be back to Chicago to wrap up.

  612. Hey guys, my cousin lives in Arlington Heights, and he drove by Great America, you cant go in but the guy at the gate told them they are filming an indian movie there. So they are at Great America. Also Aamir khan went Somewhere these past 2 days as well. because when I saw at tom tim park on Monday he said he had a plane to catch as he was going out of town that night so he couldnt take that many pics with fans.

  614. Trip wasted 🙁 jay so I m guessing crew returns to downtown after filming. I m still keeping hopes up to meet them. I m having second thoughts if its worth goin to great am tom morning. N wait around lol

  617. Hey Guys,

    Would it be better to come in weekday or weekend, since there are comments that conflicts. I am planning on taking a day off from work next week to come..

    Thanks,

  624. No..I don’t think actors were there. Lady from poduction company said a car chase needed to be filmed again. AK double was there most of day. But did not see AK. Also park was closed for shoot.had to watch from far away.

  630. Maybe it’s at Columbus and Randolph…..AR, Should I come there right now?….I am thinking they’re filming at Columbus and Randolph because it’s underneath a bridge, so rain won’t affect them..

  631. Hello, Does anybody knows about tomorrow’s schedule that is on 09/22/2012 my family (kids) is desperate to meet and greet the STARS n see the shooting.

  636. Hey, NJ. What time did you see him. My sis wants to go today to see him. Where and what time(s) do you recommend?

    P.S. Raveena tandon is going to be at columbia college at 7pm. Its $20 to get into the venue. Anyone want to come with me and try to get a pic?

  643. Anyone know where they’ll be on Monday, 9/24?
    I’m visiting from Dallas & would love to get a real Bollywood fix before heading back home!

  648. @NJ…nice…….did they come over for pictures or you were waiting by his trailer…….when was this i might’ve missed it…i was there too…

    • aamirkhan will definetely let everyone take a picture, wait for him and u will get it…
      yesterday there were about 100 people ,he came across the street and had pictures with crowd….
      he is awesome…

      • Hi NJ,

        I believe they are at 6 Flags today. I walked over to Wabash but nothing was going on. Do you know if they were filming on top of City Hall yesterday or were they on street level? I had gone on Saturday but was’nt able to see much as they were filming upstairs.

  657. just heard they need adult dancers and child dancers of age 8 to 35, but the only bad thing about this is they dont need any indian dancers at all. 🙁

  660. I was dropping my son off at work and saw them on 14th & Racine few blocks from my home. I saw trucks, no parking signs for movie location, police blocking streets, workers setting up. I heard motorcycles as well. Can anyone confirm shooting times. I couldn’t stop by because of work but may leave early once confirmed.

  664. Hey Christine,

    It seems it will be a full fledged action sequence, do you think actors will be there or only stunt doubles? I would like to visit this weekend and really want to see/meet AK, AB as its 5 hours drive for me. I already missed them once and this might be the last chance for me before they fly back to India.

    P.S. the low flying helicopters sounds so exciting !!!

    Thanks,

  666. If you read the post Christine posted carefully it says the notice is for the 29th and 30th, so I’m not sure if they’ll be shooting those action scenes this wknd…just FYI

  667. Please disregard my previous note; I clearly have no sense as to what date today was. That action scene will be this wknd!! Can’t wait to see them film!

  669. Happens @BachchanFan, I am also very excited and would like to make the trip worth, I already missed them during Labor Day Weekend and I am a huge fan of movies in general, would love to see an action sequence filming and photo with AK and AB..

    Any idea if Katrina is already in town? Heard she is being disguised (manly look) due to her look in film?

  675. All/ALL Bollywood Fans;

    Aamir Khan/ Abhishek and his family are all staying at :

    525 N. McClurg, Chicago

    THey all workout at Holmes Place gym in the AMC30 Building. This is inside news as I know someone on the sets.
    I myself have not seen them there but have CONFIRMED they are in that area…… all im looking for on this blog is someone e to get a hold of their schedule or locations on when and where they will be shooting in October(weekends and weekdays).

    ANY INSIGHT?

    • Thanks for posting their address. I, for one, will not be looking for them there. If I see them on a set where they work, fine. I do not wish to stalk them at their homes where are they are trying to keep a family and personal life away from home.

    • How is it fooling around Sumit?

      If you have more insight please share. All i shared is what I knew. These people do have whereabouts and given Indian people are all over the cab, IT and residences throughout Chicago- SOMEONE was going to find out.

      In any case, all i requested was schedule insight.

      • I know for sure where AK is staying, same building as I do. I have bumped into him in the building gym as well. And I don’t stay in 525 McClurg or any building close to it.

        • I dont want to stand outside a stars house but have heard randolph place luxury flats as well as seeing him at various gyms in the loop( and I’ve been following this thread for a while).

          As someone who has not been to India 2 times in my 24 years and living in Indiana, I’m taking one day off to come up with my fiance to catch a glimpse of my culture and entertainment in action along with seeing my extended family.

          I hope to see them third week of October but can you share the Chicago area he works out?

      • Saw Aamir’s Mercedes followed by another car, turn right on Randolph Street, off of Michigan Avenue – after the night shoot couple of weeks ago. I believe he lives with his family in some luxury apartments there.

  688. Good Job guys……seems like another fake information……and why don’t u guys just stop doing it…..its his personal life…. don’t he deserve some rest….away from us…..think of a scenario …you are tierd and all stress out of work but you still can’t rest please people want to meet you and talk to you…..even if you enjoy that for sometime…you will get pissed after some time……

    Love
    Babu

  689. That is true babu. They actually don’t care for fans. They are busy here working, not here for fans. They must work long hours too. Let them work and stop chasing them.you can’t get close unless you are working with them. Everyone stop giving wrong info too.

  690. Guys we need to stop putting address of our loved celebs …either wrong or correct one….lets help each other with sharing filming locations and find them there..even if you find the correct address…you will not be invited to have a cup of tea with them….or a click… they are good people…they don’t say no to clicks you want…let them finish the shot……

    Also, there is no award for sharing correct address….however there may be SHAME later…..

    Lets go see them tomorrow : https://chicago.everyblock.com/talk/sep25-notice-of-filming-5372511/

    i hope this notice for D3, i’ll be there…..

  694. Hi Guys, has anyone gone to the set yet? Are AK or AB there yet… Seems like they will be filming around different locations in downtown this weekend

  696. does anyone know until when D3 will be shooting in Chicago? I heard oct 27 was their last day but recently I read that they’ll be here till the end of the year..

  699. Hey, Kay. Are you there now? Are they filming the song sequence everyone is talking about? Before I make it out, I want to make sure it worth the trip. So is it?

  700. They were filming a chase scene around lasalle/wacker/lake/wells…AK and his stunt double were there last I saw along with UCs stunt double, approx an hour ago. They were to be there filming till 7PM tonight…per some crew guy.

  703. Is there a shoot today if yes then till what time and at exactly what location…. We are going from indiana so want to make sure before we go there…. Please anyone let me know i appreciate it… thanks.

  711. Managed to catch a glimpse of the shoot in the afternoon. Got chased away eventually because some people standing around carried on taking camera shots of the scenes when the guy incharge asked not to. He got frustrated and chased us away. Please people, just listen to those guys so everyone can enjoy.

  712. If I’m not mistaken this guy who stopped everyone from taking pictures was straight from India ? In any case, I’m making an assumption its the same one that said the same thing to me and in all honesty there is NO law, rule or clause that stops anyone from taking pictures. Its a free country and NO one stop you from taking pictures as long as you haven’t violated their reserved areas which they already blocked off.

    • They dont want any camera due to flash.. I wasnt there today but in the past I have heard security mentioning about it. I think the flash ruins there shoot and dhoom 3 has time restrictions on fininshing up the shoot per schedule.

      Anyways, any film shooting updates for this week

    • 100% agreed!! they think they’re better than anyone else just cuz they work for them…funny!! its not like aamir or anyone is going to get killed if we take pics

    • AS LONG AS CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT STOPS YOU, you are good.

      I so wish I can tell them off that this is a civilized country and that they are in our territory implementing a law that has NO ramifications to us.

  715. does anyone know a guy called Sahir Khan ?

    he is a fraud guy I see on the sets all the time and claims to be related to AK. One of the set crew members told me that stalkers and people trolling the sets are making it hard for us true fans to enjoy the presence of our stars.

  717. Not sure about shoot but they will at red carpet tonight – go to FB –
    https://www.facebook.com/BollywoodIllinois
    they have new post –
    As promised, here are the details of the Red Carpet event we mentioned late last week!

    Who: Cast of Dhoom 3
    What: Red Carpet Event
    When: Monday, October 1. 6:30 p.m.
    Where: Walton Street, off of State Street (Downtown Chicago)
    Why: To be announced, later in the evening!

    Reminder: The Monday, October 1 event is closed to the public, but we wanted to make sure Chicago Bollywood fans have an opportunity to see their favorite stars…on a red carpet!

    See you there!

  721. OMG you all are stalking them!!! They are here to work so leave them alone!! Thy don’t let fams near the stars anyway! I understand you are excited but thy are at work and busy. Respect them in that sense. The red carpet event is not open to public. Thy are almost done filming. Leave them alone”

    • @bollybuzz –
      Calm down – who said anything about stalking? I work downtown and if I know they are shooting close to me – its nice to watch at lunch or something – but I won’t purposely go around town and harass them. What’s wrong with watching them from a distance? I am sure they are used to all this – and it’s not like I want to disturb their work – I admit asking for where they are staying is too much – but if they are shooting right by me – why can’t I go watch?

    • I don’t think it’s stalking if you respect and watch from the distance. Publishing their home addresses and such, yes, I am not for that. We have yet to see them but look for the opp. to do so even from a distance. Big Hindi blockbusters are not shot in Chicago every year and hope the trend now continues. Hope other prod companies see the value of filming Chicago vs. always in NYC.

    • Bollybuzz I am not sure why are you looking at this page when you are not interested in knowing where is the D3 crew? We are all fans and just want to see them in person especially when they are in our own city. We all do pay to go to concerts just to see them and aren’t they working when they come for these concerts? I do agree that we should all be respectful when we go see them.

  725. POST SOME PICTURES IF YOU CLAIM THERE IS SHOOTING instead of wasting people’s time who drive from distances. That should be common courtesy assuming we all have some social media site and can blog pictures!

  726. Fan,

    Given the above posts is it THAT HARD to figure out that they would be heading for the event in the evening….I am sure whoever u r a fan of…would be happier if their fans used a bit more smarter…:-)

  729. I was there today and got to meet AB, Uday and Katrina. Crew member told me that they will be shooting at shedd aquarium tomorrow (October 2nd). AB and Uday was cool to take picture but Katrina didn’t even stop. Security doesn’t even let you record when Karina left. I respect their privacy so just walked away. Hope catch AK soon.

    • Thanks Nav for info. I don’t like to post my picture in public but if you want see clip an picture please post your email. I’ll be happy to send it to you. Thanks Guys. Keep the post going.

  732. We were also there yest and met AB, UC and Katrina……..If you just be calm and act normal….they’ll stop and take pics with you…..Can someone verify if they’re filming at the Shedd again today?

  735. Katrina will not take picture. We asked nicely and there were only 4 people. I have clip where you here security were saying to put camera away. I was gonna email my pics to two people ask for it but now I’ll just upload it.

    • seriously, this thread frustrates me very much as to WHY people are scared of taking pictures.

      As a law student and doing your own research:

      THERE IS NO LAW THAT PROHIBITS THE USE OF CAMERAS UNLESS SOMEONE HAS VIOLATED BOUNDARIES and starts using it .

      I snapped at a couple of security crew and seriously they had no room to talk. BE BOLD, HAVE FUN and post pics!

      • Swati,

        Would you be fine if random people on streets come to you and snap your picture? This is a free country and people have the right to ask not to take their pictures.

  736. i feel so bad for the people that got suckered into the red carpet event last night. I found out from a trusted source who works with the team that the world of Bollywood and the agenda the set/crew follow is SO disorganized and last minute along with the stars’s tantrums and issues. The D3 crew had a video conference event that was in conjunction with another event last night. Surprisingly the actors came in around 11Pm to coordinate something back in India.

    • Good that you saw them but WTF is with that Katrina? She did not even care to look at and smile at the fans? She must be carrying some Salman and success Ego. I hate to see people going crazy after such actors and they don’t even care to smile.

      They prefer to shoot in bikinis in the film but they don’t want fans to take some decent pics!

      Abhisekh was like that before but he learned some decency from Aamir. Don’t lick who don’t care for you.

  740. I’m at Shedd right now and they are definitely filming today. I have no idea where exactly but all the equipment trucks/trailers are parked between Shedd and Adler and a security guard told me they’re filming a little later.

  741. Just walked right past the trailers and the doors were marked with AB, AK, UC, KK, and Victor. Guessing they’re not here right now since I was able to walk right in front of them

  747. @ AYU

    Good that you saw them but WTF is with that Katrina? She did not even care to look at and smile at the fans? She must be carrying some Salman and success Ego. I hate to see people going crazy after such actors and they don’t even care to smile.

    They prefer to shoot in bikinis in the film but they don’t want fans to take some decent pics!

    Abhisekh was like that before but he learned some decency from Aamir. Don’t lick who don’t care for you.

  748. @ DhoomGotDoomed. You’re right. From now on if I go on set I don’t wanna take any picture of her. I also told security guard that there is no restriction in Chicago to take picture. This is free country. I understand their privacy. In that clip you probably heard people laughing because she was rude. We waited all this time for her but didn’t care so no more pics for her.

  749. Aamir came in around 8ish and walked past us. Then drove to the trailer. We went to the trailer and asked for a quick pic. His goon in the suit told us to leave. I told him it’s public place and then he become nice and explained that Aamir will be in the trailer for another 2 hours doing make up and stuff. We can go by the Shedd and wait. He will take breaks every 1/2 hour and come to take pics and meet fans. I wasn’t going to wait another 2 hours there, so we came home. Not worth it.

    Also, I saw Katrina on my way home from work today. She was in front of the JW Marriott with 2 other people. I didn’t bother her.

  752. To All Fans,

    I understand everyone’s feeling about Katrina not allowing any pictures and there may be many reasons for that (1) since actresses pictures can be easily misused but (2) most importantly she must have signed a contract to not reveal her look in the film. If she is going to or coming back from the shoot (per the contract) producer/director do not want audience to know her look (it may be revealed later with first look of the film or trailer). She had enough interaction with fans in London for jab tak hain jaan shoot with SRK so before we jump to any conclusion – YES aside from their privacy we should keep such things in mind.

  754. What about tomorrow? Are they shooting at the same place. Please any info. I’m thinking of going there all the way from gurnee.

  755. Katrina is probably upset that she got used and abused by Salman and Ranbir. After all most of successful stars with just looks and zero talent started out giving sexual favors to people that can sign them. This is not a rant; just the truth for being disrespected when trying to snap a picture who i travelled far for.

    I hope you end up failing in life Katrina !!

  756. Schedule for this week:
    10/3 – No shoot
    10/4 – Shedd aquarium/Field Museum area
    10/5 – State and Randolph

    Take it or loose it. I got pics with Aamir and Abhi today. The above information was provided by a set crew person.

  758. Kay – Sorry I got pic with Aamir last night 10/2 around midnight.
    Per the cast crew, they are not filming today. Has anyone seen anything today?

  759. tamasha,
    Thanks for the update on the locations and date. I hope its correct . Obviously noone knows the time until the day. Anyhow, i dont think they are filming today due to rain.

  761. Just got info on Dhoom 3 is at Shedd Aquarium right this moment. Closing streets and the aquarium building itself. If anybody know more information let me know!

  765. I was there @ 6:15pm and left 6:45pm that time rain starts
    . I don’t think. So today they are shooting bcoz of weather.
    tomorrow i will go again after job.

  767. folks, I am driving from Ohio and coming to Chicago for the first time in my life with the kids !

    We’re travelling to India (my second time since 1990) and since our flight is on Tuesday I plan to show my family and run into AK and the stars.

    I’ve noticed a lot of fabricated, rants, harsh opinions and comments but can anyone please, please be as honest as they can and provide me any insight to MONDAY’s shooting?

  769. That’s what I thought. I believe they are gonna be at shed aquarium tom. Would somebody like to out some light on it. Thanks

  770. i also read that crew were setting up at the shedd tonight. also do you think if i get there around 11 or 12 in the morning that it would be a good time?

  775. such conflicting comments makes it soo confusing 🙁 One says Great America in Gurnee today and others say Shedd Aquarium. Can someone please post ACCURATE info for today’s shooting? I’m planning on coming downtown for the 3rd time and would hate for it to be another unsuccessful trip. Thanks!

  777. @bollybuzz…How Did you find out?…..The crew or security will always give you wrong info….cuz they don’t want crowd over there….

  779. Guys – The actors aren’t always there at every moment of the shoot. They come and go on the set. So sometimes you ask the crew and they say they’re not there, but then 1 or 2 hours later, the actors come on the set, and if you ask the crew then, they’ll tell you yes, they’re there. Also, if they’re on the set, then usually their cars are nearby.

    Really, the only time you can get pictures is when they’re done shooting or taking breaks. I’ve watched some of the fans, and seriously – some fans are just embarrassingly rude to the crew. Have some respect, be nice to the crew, and be patient. Nobody owes you anything, and you don’t have some god-given right to see the shoot or meet the actors. It’s a business, let them do their jobs!

  780. Hey guys,

    Based on the thred it looks like shoot at Shedd is over. I am planning on travellng 2 hours to c the shoot. Any further update for Friday location and time? thanks in advance.

  783. Are they shooting in Gurnee tonight ???? this seems odd as some one posted they are going to be at Shedd …..please some one post the right info if you know it..

    • My friend’s friend is an extra and said they are definitely shooting at the Shedd tonight, but it’s raining still so he said it’s most likely cancelled…

  791. Also Heard that they were going to film at State and Randolph….also it’s on one of the onlocations website…don’t know if it’s true…

  794. we got the randolph info a few days ago from this thread if you go back thru the comments here (the link above is this same website)

  797. Definitely not filming now. Just walked past the state/randolph area and there are no sign of trucks or any action. And it’s also raining very slightly. Maybe at night…not sure…

  799. They would not be allowed to film on a Friday in one of the busiest intersection downtown in the afternoon. If there is filming, it probably is at night or Sunday.

  803. Anyone knows where to hunt for these guys tomorrow…does anyone had chance to see Katrina yet,…I am wondering if she is actually that pretty as she looks on screen:):)

  806. Is Katrina really here? And is there going to be a shooting on a song? I really want to know so if anyone has an idea please tell me. Thank you.

    • r u sure christine bcos i am told that none of the lead actors r here as they have all gone back to India and wud be probably back next week. And also there is a marathon in downtown for which all the roads r block so i dont think there wud be any going around as of today.

  817. If anyone want to see the Dhoom3 Stars come to the Nave Pier between 3pm to 9pm. The will be filming on the back side of the pier.

  820. Guys we live close to Wells n Quincy n just went there ,,,,there is no sign of filming and no signs posted either….a few signs from 16th sept are still there….but that’s about it. Christine is obviously trying to help us by posting whatever leads she gets…so thanks to her but FYI guys this Lead seems to be inaccurate from what we saw.

  821. All, Big B’s 70th Birthday bash in Mumbai is next week. Pretty sure Jr. is going to attend his dads party. Per also Big Bs twitter, he picked up Ash and Baby from the airport couple of days ago. Udays tweet yesterday was he was on a plane.

  822. Wish we could try Navy Pier as well…but it’s further away n parking is $25 bucks..n the weather is not Navy Pieriesh today….so good luck those who r going to try it ….n please post it if anyone has first hand info.

  823. Just had a chat with Katrina at Rosebud. I didn’t recognize her, thought she was just some hot chick until my friend told me. I actually plan on meeting up with her in a few days between shoots

  824. @Rishi…wow….thats pretty nice……if you posted this on here…you gotta post where you gonna meet her too….between shoots….plz do

  827. @Rishi That’s just bull***t how the heck would you come to this website and post under so many comments where only dedicated fans are following trying to meet their favorite stars .So just shut f up and shove it up your a**

  828. the tip I had was from a flyer someone got at their building there…it was def. legit because it was the same type of flyer we’ve seen before but things are always subject to change…

  829. OK so just to make things more confusing got this tip about 2 hours ago via Twitter:

    Dhoom 3 RT @KimheartDdub filming near or on Diversey Pkwy in Chicago @olv

  831. Does anyone know if there is shooting tonight and tomorrow…… Or any actors are going to be there…. please let me know i appreciate it… thank You.

  832. No more shed, Katrina isn’t filming for a few days, said she’s tired of f’n nerds online plotting her every move around Chicago

    • Just by searching for Katrina kaif you found this website are you kidding me Go please fool somebody else and shooting on train platform was for yesterday night not for the whole week you bumba**s of course there is a marathon nobody will be shooting at that time

  834. @Rishi: What’s happening on this thread is known as ‘information sharing,’ which rational people do and you have no idea how many people are following this thread so stop calling them nerds. And as for yourself, your name is Rishi (clearly Indian) and you dont know who Katrina Kaif is, shame on you and your IQ.

  835. Filming was taking place at the L orange line Quincy stop near Quincy and Wells around 7pm this evening. They were filming on the train stop platform.

  836. Guys I’ll throw you a bone. There is no star filming til next week. Quincy stop?’ You have to be kidding. Tomorrow is the marathon where 300k people will be in the loop, and that is a route. Do you really think the city overlooked this point when issuing permits?

  837. Goodluck to those of you who r going downtown today. Today is the marathon and many streets are closed. Film shooting may be canceled.

    • I assume you will be on Devon Ave consuming a ton of curry thinking about how cool it would be for someone to follow you around all the time and track you every move online?

  838. They are filming at Columbus and Jackson starting at 8am-noon, get there now!!!! You will be in the movie as its a crowd shot!

  840. Thanks for the update! I also got a tip signs spotted around Lower Lake Shore Dr & E Randolph St Chicago for Mon which is kinda nearby (FYI)

  842. Is there a shooting going on? If yes then exactly where and what time. Is there gona be any actors? Please anyone let.me know I am in chicago I don’t to miss it thanks

  844. As per following article AK and AB are planing to fly together to India for a day visit on Oct 10th to attend Big B’s birthday. Not sure there will be any shooting from Oct 10th to Oct 13/14??? Also looks like they will be here only till Oct 3rd week. please check following link. This is only heads up who are planning to come this week end.

    https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Aamir-to-fly-down-for-Amitabh-Bachchans-birthday-bash/articleshow/16720855.cms

  845. just heads up Aamir is not going !!! abhi shek left already and uday is in LA!!! they are gonna shoot in diversey pkwy from 10th to 12th oct and final day of shoot is 24th oct !!

    • Finally Chicago will get rid of them. I have not seen them so far and I think I will not run around to see them.
      If Akshay Kumar was there I would have run around lol

  850. just saw AK arrive on set at Navy pier at 9:30. All I know is that security personnel is there till 6am. What time will the actors be there, i have NO clue.

    HUGE TIP: IF YOU WALK BEHIND NAVY PIER, THE FIRST SET OF DOUBLE DOORS ARE OPEN. IF YOU HAVE THE GUTS YOU CAN WALK TO THE FERRIS WHEEL where they are shooting.

    • I told you guys not to go and waste your time. Just go home get some sleep and come back around 430-5am. You can meet Aamir without any security.

  854. Yes KT there so rude were still Jere they said he will be out at 3 and he said wait he will come to you and take a pic! I got a pic w his vanity van lol

  865. Good morning all. Just a heads up, this morning I saw their trailers on Randolph, East of Michigan Ave on my way to work. This was around 7:45 this morning. I have no clue where they will be shooting today, so if anyone is in that area, please let everyone know. They were on Randolph just North of Milemmium Park towards the Lake. Good luck….

  867. That article says that the birthday bash is on Wednesday. So im assuming he already left to india. But please if anybody have any clue about it. Please share. Thanks

    • no one knows how long they’ll be shooting today,they started post lunch. I think they’ll wrap up by 5pm since its chilly outside!

  884. Im in Lakeview right now and see signs posted on walls. Orange papers directing crew to lunch and film areas. There are also barricade kept on the sides, to block pedestrians I think. Shoot is definitely happening here tomorrow. Nothing going on in millenium park according to security and the dancers that were attending the “wedding like” white dress event.

    • North side of W. Diversey Parkway from Cambridge Avenue to Pine Grove Avenue.
      East side of Cambridge Avenue from the south alley to W. Diversey Parkway
      West side of Pine Grove Avenue from the south alley to W. Diversey Parkway
      South side of W. Diversey Parkway from Sheridan Road to Lake Shore Drive West.

  889. @tamaasha thanks for the detailed location 🙂 ill try to go over there and update you guys, if Aamir is there or not. On my way.

  893. I just went there. Pine grove and Cambridge are really small streets. I dont see anything yet.!! Gonna hunt for their trailers now.

  897. Shooting is gonna take place here. There vanity vans are parked on Sheridan and Pine Grove. A lot of cops and security personnel here.

  898. hey Tamasha thanks for the info but i was wondering if they started the shooting yet? also if they havent do you think they will be shooting into the evening??? thanks!! and also do you know anything about tomorrows shooting?

    • They will be shooting soon for 2 hours. But due to rush of traffic, the chicago police is not allowing them shoot from 5-9pm. They may or may not shoot in the evening if it gets cold, but so far the weather is cooperating. Also Aamir wont be there in the evening. Just Katrina.

  901. I agree, in a way, with one of the other person who commented that it will be nice that Chicago will get rid of Dhoom3 guys soon. It has been taking up my attention and time…but I will miss this little blog and how this movie has brought together us (Chicago Desi community) and we are trying to help each other 🙂

  902. Movie location no parking signs are on for this weekend around LaSalle and Monroe.

    Good luck to those that get to see them or meet them. I for one, is no longer chasing this. No longer worth the time.

  903. Guys thank you so much. Specially tamaasha. I met aamir khan around 12:30 pm by his vanity van. I’m really really thankful to you guys. Its like a dream come true. :))

  904. AamirKhanFan86..where were they shooting today when u met Amir? And do u know what their shooting schedule is this weekend? For those of us who haven’t been lucky enough to see them yet. Thanks

  905. They are by pine grove and diversy prkwy. I don’t know where exactly they’re shooting cause mostly a residential place. I heard the crew talking about the bar over there. Don’t know which one though. But lemme give you an important tip. BEST TIME IS TO MEET HIM EARLY BEFORE THE SHOOT..!! that’s what I did. There were only 3 people and everybody got seperate pics. And also had the previlege to talk to him for few minutes. 🙂

  907. Im coming from oswego tonight as i have a day off tomorrow

    QUESTION: i read this already but aamirfan or anyone; Does anyone have a confirmation on shooting done tonight? After 8PM that is.

    Also, is there an address where i can plug my GPS for this location?

  909. This is being shot in the alley behind my apartment, somebody had to escort me through to my building. There’s a dance scene going on right now, with a large graffiti wall hanging up. There’s people from the film all over the place around here, almost impossible not to run into Aamir Khan .

  912. Tomorrow the shooting is at the same place. By pine grove and diversy prkwy 11 am to 6 pm. Best time to meet the stars is go early. They’re shooting a song ova there in one of the Alleys

    • I posted earlier. Signs for movie shoot this weekend around Lasalle and Monroe.

      Katrina and Uday at JW. I seen them hanging out there few times as I have to walk pass it from work.

  918. I talked to one of the security guards standing by the trailers on diversey. he said amir won’t be on the set tomorrow, only katrina will be there:( Im sad. I wanted to see amir:(

  928. guys I think AK is just not telling the truth…I heard that there are trailers and they have setup snow on the ground, probably for the filming…

  929. AK is a liar playing with the people. There is filming today. If you want to meet Aaamir and others be at the scene by 1pm. They are having breakfast right now and will film after.

  930. I am here and trailers too… But not shootin because its a cloudy day. They are upset and working for tomorrow’s permit.

  933. I am here and trailers too I think they are not shooting because its a cloudy day. They are not happy and working for tomorrow’s permit.

  936. @Nick….the weather will be mainly sunny later today…so it should be all right so you should just stay there…and if they are asking for permit tomorrow, it’s weird cuz tomorrow’s forecast is cloudy and 70% chance of rain…

  938. Ok, so which is the correct update guys? Is there shooting today or not? It is possible for them to shoot later today if the sun comes out, right?

  943. I see signs on Lasalle.. City has put “No Parking” notices all over the street for this weekend. They mention it is going to be a “Movie Filming”.

    Are they filming there over weekend?

  947. Guys you all need to calm down. One or guys need to go there, and give updates and the rest should follow. Yesterday I met aamir over there, had a five minute chat with him personally. No one was there cause I was there early. And I was giving all the updates cause I found the location and stuff from here. It was a dream come true meeting this guy and talking to him in person. What a down to earth personality. 🙂

  948. @Aamirkhanfan86 : Yes, I noticed yesterday’s updates from you were very accurate. I just started following yesterday. I wish someone was there like that today, as I’m planning to go today. Anyway, thanx! …and you’re very lucky 😉

  950. @Aamirkhanfan86: If we Indians were that well united and worked in such unison….India would be far more ahead of where it is today.!!..:-)

  955. I was just downtown at Pinegrove and Diversey. They are filming there until later this evening, however, it’s honestly not worth going there. I took the day off of work and rode the Metra (1.5 hrs each way) and then took a taxi to the spot. Security ppl there are all gore and such jerks. They won’t even allow you to stand on the sidewalk and watch the song sequence happening (didn’t see any stars, just the backup dancers). I told them it’s a public sidewalk and they can’t tell us not to stand and watch as long as we’re not on their set. One security guy said he would get the cops to remove us then. There were only a handful of us..ridiculous! Amirkhanfan..u were really lucky that u were able to meet Amir yesterday. Maybe the location was given to too many ppl, they’re just being asses about it. The extras were all sitting in a pub and when I tried to go in there, security said I couldnt…I said it’s a public place and there are no signs saying that public can’t go in. He said our extras and crew are in there and we’re renting the whole place out..such BS. Just being jerks for no reason! Waste of a whole day today 🙁

    • In short, don’t be upset. In few days to weeks, you will not even care about them. They will be out of Chicago. There are lot more good looking, good hearted people around and lot more good people who have changed the society in a big way.

      Forget those actors who shoot all day long and still are not able to roam freely in public places. You can say they are always in a jail but you can add VIP or Luxury Jail lol
      You are a free bird in this great America or India or wherever you go!

      If you were able to see them it was good but its even much better now. You made your effort and that’s what matter. Move on, there are lot more better things to do and achieve in life!

  958. Yeah, i know it’s stupid to go thru soo much just to see them..my husband thinks I’m crazy 😉 I watch more Bollywood movies though than Hollywood movies. I’ve met Salman and Saif Ali Khan and Bobby Deol and Arjun Rampal and a bunch of other stars..really wanted to meet Amir since I heard he’s really nice. Oh well..if it’s not meant to be, it’s won’t happen…

    • Hello 🙂 I agree – it’s a lot of trouble….but here’s the thing – i’ve had the chance to meet him face to face 3 times …yes he is very polite and very soft spoken. I jsut thought i’d share a few tips to make it a lil easier –

      1. The crew guys are always going to shoo you away from the sidewalks..don’t put up too much of a fight…just move and stay under their radar.
      2. Everytime they want you to “clear the area” – some star is coming….I’ve seen this all the times i’ve been there. So hang out where they can’t really see you…and then go out toward the star.

      Once – the security guy said…Aamir is tired…he can’t take pics…I said, i’ll ask him not you…and Aamir said yes. So don’t fight em, as annoying as they can be.

      Good luck to those who try again – Yes, it’s madness some may say, but it’s fun all the same. I could go as many times because I live close to where they film.

  959. Ok, saw Aamir! It was way easier than I thought. Couldn’t see the shoot clearly, but saw the set. They called it a wrap at around 6:30. Aamir then willingly took pics outside his trailer….not too much of crowd, so everyone got pics with him. He is definitely a people person. Good luck to all those trying to meet him. Keep updating….waiting for Abhi’s return 🙂 Best time for pics is before or after shoot. Keep asking people wats going on, but dont believe everything u hear.

  960. Guys, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know if you have any idea about tomorrow’s(13 and 14 oct) schedule/place… this weekend… we dont wannnna miss it.

  961. @D3 : no offense, but because of people who have met them multiple times and still show up everyday they get overwhelmed and pissed off and people who travel from far off suburbs or even out of state get shooed away. In any case, thanks for your suggestions.

    • None taken…but i highly doubt if it matters that anyone goes multiple times…what matters is how much in their face someone gets. And they shoo anyone away…no matter how many people or how far we live. I guess its their job. Someone rightly said – the stars will never be rude…the guards are paid to be 🙂

  962. Got to take pictures with aamir today. Thanks to all the updates. The security guys are very strict and mean but I guess that’s their job. Number of times they lied saying ak left etc and that he would’nt take pictures. But guys, aamir is really sweet. He obviously noticed the fans waiting and asked all of us to go by the trailer to take pictures. You just have to follow some rules and they will let you take pictures. Aamir is a very very nice guy. He really cares for his fans.

  963. guys, ive been the production set manager for dhoom 3 since the beginning of the project and just recently had some down time to read the hard core fans here.

    1. sorry, AK is not going to be shooting much soon, he’s leaving for Hajj soon.
    https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Azads-usually-lost-in-thought-like-me-Aamir-Khan/articleshow/16724046.cms

    “Talking of family, when do you leave for Haj with your mother?
    We’ll probably leave on the 19th. I’ll come from the US to India, pick Ammi, and then go from there.”

    2. AB , Aish and KK are going to be leaving soon

    3. sorry, i cannot reveal any information as Victor has made us signed contracts.

    Great to see strength of Indians abroad.

  964. can someone just post where these stars are staying?

    525 McClurg
    175 Harbor Point Apartments
    Trump tower

    i cant afford to take a Metra train for 1.5 hours and not see them. Plus “rohit” the security guard is a damn liar saying he left the sets.

      • no way in PT . that place is full of consultants and impossible for Bollywood to survive.

        Not many wealthy Indians want to afford living in Streeterville or Harbor point towers which is what i HEARD they are staying.

        I cant believe with all the chasing around no one was able to find out where they are staying….except KK who was at the Marriott then W.

        • It was a joke, PT reeks of curry when you walk by, so I thought they might find their way.

          Dude why would you waste a sat to come into the city, to stand around, to maybe see someone you can see on tv whenever you want? I get you want to post it on FB, but how much is your time worth?!

  965. Someone better call a suicide hotline an tell them about 2k Indians will be calling when this movie shuts down. Pretty pathetic… No wonder my computer hasn’t been fixed, you are all calling in sick to look at people who are at work.

  966. Time for all to move on. I enjoyed following this
    thread for fun but becoming a waste of time.

    I have no intention to go after them. What’s a photo gonna get me? So I can post on Facebook and make my family in India jealous? What’s that photo gonna do for me in 15 years from now? Nothing.

    Enjoy your weekend.

    • Ill agree with that! My computer needs to be fixed and only white people are answering the phone!

      Seriously, if you have made it a mission to see these losers more then once, you need to have a hard look in the mirror.

  971. no guys, its not you but she has just had some very bad experiences. I remember couple of years ago with Akshay kumar she took a pic with a fan and after thanking her he asked her a very obscene question regarding her sex life.

    Regardless of your rudeness, i wonder if someone asked his mom or sister how he would feel.

    Actors eventually become snobby with everything they have to face. Many of us dont talk to our parents and loved ones over small disputes for years and years, how do you think people who love our industry behave.? Most of these rowdy fans just want to annoy and make their mark.

  977. Nothing downtown by LaSalle and Monroe, except rain.
    If you want to come downtown to get soaked, then please feel free. No trailers nothing here.

  981. Why we Indians are rude and judgmental, if anyone wants to go, why others have problem. Grow up guys and try to be nice to each other. I don’t want to name anyone on this thread, but it looks that some people are just taking their personal life’s frustration on others by giving rude comments. Grow up and get a life, if you cannot help anyone, then better shut up.

      • Seems like you are dumb Indian by origin. Look at the timing of both the post. He must have reloaded the page twice by mistake or something. You need to chill. Go out, outdoors are beautiful as always!

      • I got to say I am impressed by your attitude towards Indians, looks like you are not someone who enjoys the mirror in morning, because it make you realize that you are not as white as you think….. Guess what “you are INDIAN” ….I am sad for you…go out in rain, maybe you can wash your color…

  984. I go to UC and there are signs down here about no parking. I asked a guy at 59th and he said they will are moving to around 65th and Ellis around 9pm, until then nothing.

    • Thanks for the update for today!

      Ps pls be kind to others not sure why but things seem to getting nasty and I don’t want have to set the comments for approval but will if necessary…thanks to everyone who has been helpIng it is appreciated!

  986. RISHI is the biggest fraud here. why can’t you just understand that these people are big fans of the actors/actresses being in their city? It’s a very rare opportunity for many of them. Lay off of them. And if you’re saying that they’re being creeps, stalkers, time-wasters for going about their free time as they wish, what are YOU doing on here during YOUR free time to be hating, falsifying, misleading, ridiculing, STALKING, trolling, teasing people. whether ur indian or not, you should feel pure sharam for behaving in such a manner. i can’t think of anything more pathetic than someone coming on here and being so disrespectful to people for doing what they like.

    • Lol I was going to stop posting here, but this is too funny. Trying to impersonate me so you can apologize for me? Pretty funny. Ok I’m done. Have fun bollynerds

  991. People….Lets just stop responding or paying attention to Rishi Code name’s Comments….it’s probably some immature kid who has no life and obviously lot of time….let’s just be mature and professional only post informational comments which will help us out…..lets no argue with him or respond to his comments…..

  992. This Site…thx to Christine…has been really helpful for all of us for the past 3 months….D3 crew is only here for one more week, so lets be professional so everyone has a chance to meet our stars…I will post the location If I find out and if its accurate….Thanks everyone…

  993. thanks everyone , please let me know location for tomorrow and be serious . respect everyone’s time and feelings . thanks and please update if anyknows about the location. thanks.

  995. Hi Guys….. Is there a shooting going on today if yes then where and what time… I want to see Amir. Till when he will be here for shooting…??? Is he comming back after Haj for shooting? Please reply whoever know any answer of these questions. appreciate all your help guys. Thanks.

    • They’re shooting on LaSalle. Walked by a few hours ago and so them setting up for the day. A lot of cars for a stunt sequence. No sign of vanity vans though and of course security said they didnt know if the actors will be coming.

  998. hey guys,
    can you please let me knw where they will be shooting on tuesday or thursday? i really want to meet aamir khan and katrina before they leave. i’m actually taking a day off from work so i can meet them. pleaseeee let me knowww! also, ill have to take metra so it will take me like 2 hours to get to the city so i want to make sure they are filming those days so i can meet them. pleaseeee let me know. thank you so much.

  1001. Aamir was shooting outside alder planetarium and did not take pictures with everybody as it wss raining. It was around 6:30pm. Crew said aamir is leaving in tuesday and he is not shootingashootinganymore.

  1005. I saw Kareena, i couldnt help to just think and fantasize when i sae her that she was actually in Salman khans and Ranbir Kapoors bed!!!

    Sorry dont mean to offend anyone but the mere fact that she speaks ZERO hindi and has minimal talent makes you want to think how many times she has been on her knees for directors, salman,ranbir and other costars.

    I will flash her outside her trailer as a welcome to chicago 🙂

    • Your brain really needs help.

      First off, you don’t even know the name. It is “Katrina” and not “Kareena”.

      May be your (sick) brain sees any girl with the same dirty mentality. I pity on you. Seriously..

    • Bravo.. comment. agree with u completely. just with mere looks, how she manages to grab big banner films.. where did u see her. not her fan but curious.. she is changing the definition of actress to Seductress..

  1006. FYI: someone emailed me a pic of permits/flyers for tues and wed think they say roscoe but pic is a little too small to read…hoping they’ll send one a bit bigger, will let you guys know when I get it…

  1007. Pls dont pity me; you think all men dont fantasize and ejaculate thinking if stars? Then WHY do they dress so skanky and sell themselves. I DARE any actress of this day to dress like the classic Jaya Bachan or Mumtaz and be a hit. They serve our eyes and our sexual desires. You think women dont think if Salman, AK, AB when they are doing it with their spouses or alone in their aroused states?

    Dont pity me you hormoneless idiot!

    • Have you seen “English Vinglish”? Sridevi is dressed as you describe. And yes, people (including me) liked the movie.

      There is nothing in that movie that will give you a “fantasy masala”.

      I pity on you because you are wasting money. Why spend money to buy tickets for these movies? Go download porn for free from internet. May be some day, your sister will be acting in that too..

        • Rahul, you clearly cannot fathom the big picture. Taking English Vinglish, Tare Zameen par and a particle of example cannot compare to the industry.

          In the early 60’s and 70’s women carried weight on their skin, had more modest clothing, never did bold scenes AND managed to have families ! MEN drive the entertainment industry, we define and demand women dress and act like whores regardless of their talent (Katrina, Malaika Arora, priyanka chopra). Do any of them have talent compared to Sridevi or Madhuri who have done some scenes i would not watch with kids but its been noted that it was outside their comfort zone. There is a famous article(google it please) where Priyanka was offered in crores to dance at a new years party and she refused, why?? Because nowadays they are made to portray themselves as sluts. Again, i dare Aishwarya to do it, Amitabh would probably slaughter her for ruining the family image.

          That being said, to each their own but when i saw Katrina at the W hotel in Chicago, not an ounce of class, sophistication or decency to address the media and seriously, there are many of us who see others that luckily make it even in corporate America by brown nosing or being the CEO’s toilet paper….. Katrina is clearly a girl with looks, determination to succeed but ZERO HINDI CINEMA EXPOSURE AND TALENT and only in the right frame of mind will someone hire her to make her a banner and sex symbol!!! And during th competitive course of signing films who can deny suexual favors are part of the game…. Actors’s daughters like Sonam and Sonakshi have their dads’s influence but seriously Sonam is just a little higher than Katrina.

          I dont waste money watching these movies; i just feel bad knowing what they had to do to get there…. As far as seeing my sister, dont forget that almost everyone has a past… Im sure you will be a good protector knowing that one day if you dont realize my point that your sister, mom, daughter or dad might give up themselves for the wrong reasons.

          Im sorry for being offensive, i cant stand ignorance and people who cant admit where indian cinema and maketing banners are a gimmic and that TRUE value is in movies that relate to US: tare zameen par, rang de basanti, sholay, once upon a tim in mumbai etc.

          Love, peace, sex with Katrina

          – sallu

          • Got your message .. Loud and Clear.

            I understand your point. However, your comments on Katrina actually show “lack of decency” on your part. She is what she is. Who are you to judge and deliver (unsolicited) remarks on her.

            That said. I get your point and would like to stop high-jacking this thread and have any further discussion on this.

            Have a great day.

    • their itinerary is chicago-delhi-Mumbai. air india flight 🙂 flight leaves at 1:30 PM from ORD :). believe there is no direct flight to bombay..

      • i dont see this on ohare’s site, please tell me the source. I work in Rosemont(recently relocated to Chicago) and would like to possibly get a snap with AK if this accurate.

  1012. For those who had the opportunity to take a pic with Amir, please make sure to go see the movie when it comes out next year. If it wasn’t for him (and not the security guards), we would not have been able to take pics with him. so return the favor by watching the movie in theaters so it becomes a big success 🙂 I know I will go.

    • Let them have their fun. If white people were running around trying to watch a shooting, that wouldn’t bother you? Get over yourself. People are people, no matter what their skin color is. Everyone in America is of a different race, whether they are immigrants, first generation Americans, or 10th. Look up your own family tree. I guarantee you’ll be surprised to find out where your ancestors were from. And after that, please pick up a book. Any book. Because you are in grave need of some education.

  1021. It is going to be really exciting to watch this movie. As far as I know, this is the first Hindi movie to be filmed in my lovely city..

    I work in Downtown and see all these locations every day. It is really going to be exciting to see them on screen now in a HIT movie.

    As someone mentioned, we should see this movie in theaters to add to the numbers. At-least as a thank you to Amir Khan for being so humble with us 🙂

    • is aamir going to be there, or just katrina? who will katrina be with? what time will they be there? i thought aamir was leaving tmrw.

  1025. @Christine….Thx…Is this confirmed for Dhoom 3…….got pic with tabrett bethell (Australian actress part of D3) this evening….they were filming in Tribune Tower today…..thx again for your help Christine

  1026. i feel so humilated, embarassed, shocked that we Indians(and maybe others) are ruining this thread and our reputation.

    Bungholes, fantasy masala, AK here, leaving, Katrina the slut etc etc. THIS IS VERY SHAMEFUL human behavior. No where on these forums have I found such immaturity.

    Please people, check yourselves and be respectful.

    Can anyone please please confirm AK leaving tomorrow or being in town?

    • AK is definitely leaving today. Abhishekh and Katrina will leave on 23rd. First hand information from their local chicago security crew. On 19th AK will leave mumbai to see his mom and take her to Hajj. Haj dates for this year are 24th to 31st October only.

  1031. For all fans of Aamir Khan, I met him at the airport along with two other fans. He said he loves his fans and will be back next year. He just boarded the flight to Delhi. I am standing by the gate with his bodyguards.

    Please don’t waste your time waiting for him.

  1035. AK is gone:( coming back to LA and SFO…when dont know…but surely will share when I get to know…Katrina, Abhishek are heer till 25th….Dont know of UC

  1037. AK left for Hajj today, my sister is on the same flight as him and sent me this before she left. Our cousin is the set sponsor and just to share the love:

    youtube.com/watch?v=RUGD-9nos44

    Aishwarya and Abhishek are in Chicago till 10.25
    Uday and KK are here till 10.25 then going to Yash Raj offices in LA and visiting SFO.

    Sometime this week KK, UC and AB are going for dinner in downtown Chicago – restaurant TBD….. will keep everyone posted.

  1039. KK is def not in Chicago. Confirmed. UC ,AB are here. That girl that acted with Ranbir is also here..the one on top model. Aishwariya is NOT in Chicago either.

      • American model-turned-actress Nargis Fakhri, whose voice in her debut film Rockstar was dubbed due to her poor Hindi diction! Katrina is about the same.

        • Yes, I know. But Nargis might not have to speak 100% Hindi in Dhoom 3. She could play an American. Dhoom 3’s story is set in Chicago as well as being filmed there. So there are a few American and Australian actors who will be speaking in English in the film. Nargis is from the USA and should fit right in IF she has a part in the movie. Plus she is very pretty. However Nargis might just be visiting the sets as a friend of Uday and Abhishek.

  1041. The cast and crew know about this site. Watched the interview with Victor on WTTW Chicago and he mentioned a site (assumed this) that fans are using to find the locations.

    The Aamir interview was good too.

  1043. Aamir has indeed went back to India. He will release the music of Talaash on Thursday Oct. 18 before he heads off to Hajj with his mother. Aishwarya is NOT in Chicago. Aishwarya is in India. She had been in Delhi the last 2 days for brand promotions. Aishwarya has probably flown back to Mumbai now. Katrina is no longer in Chicago as she left during the weekend. In fact Katrina along with SRK filmed KBC with Amitabh Bachchan on Tuesday in Mumbai. Katrina is now busy doing promotion in India with SRK for their new movie Jab Tak Hai Jaan. I’m not sure about Uday. But I think that Abhishek is the only one who will be shooting for Dhoom 3 along with the other supporting local actors until October 25.

  1047. Nargis Fakhri(Rockstar girl) is dating Uday Chopra (I’m sure she did not go on a face value). They have been spotted together in several clubs and restaurants of Chicago. They took a short walk on lakeshore and navypier holding hands. Confirmed news.

    • Who confirmed it? Why are you interested in this?

      Come on guys.. Why do we have to poke our noses into personal lives of others.

      They are two humans (may be love birds). Give them a break.

  1048. Why are you guys posting where they are what they dooo . What’s going on . Its all are personal live . Just updates about shooting. Dont make scandals like news paper.

  1049. The cast and crew knows about this blog per Victor’s interview with WTTW. I’m sure they are reading this. Some of the content here has been very offensive. Does not shine on Chicago!

    • I agree – There’s a few people…3-4 who for no reason, seem to be adding comments that are not related to anything and are really offensive! I wonder if the moderator can block them or something.
      Sort of kills the excitement of having a cool Hindi movie being filmed here.

    • What a fugly smiling face of katrina!

      Aamir left – Now this thread is officially doomed! No more traffic, no more fights among retards lol

      Good Luck all!

  1051. Guys I think we need to back away and let the cast be at peace for their last week. But as soon as Dhoom 3 crew is out, let’s make sure to throw some eggs on the putrid security and highschool boys assigned to keep a watch.

    • Ain’t you the one who followed AK all the way to the airport. Just asking since you now seem all about letting the cast be at peace for their last week in Chicago.

  1052. THIS MESSAGE IS FOR VICTOR AND EVERYONE ON THE DHOOM 3 STAFF.

    1. Your DHOOM3 maybe good at heart but your ENTIRE STAFF you brought with you from India and New York are a FUC*ING insult to India, Bollywood and the rest of the United States of America.

    I don’t give a damn how hard your staff works, I don’t care If Katrina has a stick up her ass, I don’t care if Uday has to work 16 hours.

    WE, THE FANS, THE MOVIE GOERS , THE MEDIA are the ones that make you !!!!!
    Eventually it comes down to us who make sure your families have the luxuries they do !

    The actors , directors, staff, and everyone has to understand that we are all Indians who do not get to see our culture and experience it and the only medium we have is our stars. It then becomes someone’s responsibility to provide that to us by:

    1. Hosting a fan meet and greet with proper security
    2. A media event with the local Indian organizations and Chicago has a damn lot of them
    3. Fund raisers / charity events (even with a busy schedule one day can be allotted)
    4. Having access to the actors and in a controlled manner.

    The options are endless but why is it that NOT A SINGLE SOUL on this thread had anything bad to say about Aamir? I have not met any other actors because they never came out of their vans but guess who’s fault that is? THE ENTIRE DHOOM 3 STAFF from Director to Set Managers.

    Not to be biased, but if an American actor was in India or even when Batman: The Dark Knight was shot in Chicago, Christian Bale (who can buy your entire staff) and Kristen Dunst met their fans with open hearts and hands. Ummmm……. and you block off your sets and vans from the staff far away so people that travel with their children and families cannot even catch a glimpse of them.

    So why am I writing this message?

    1. I took an American friend of mine to the sets to show him who AK was since my friend was curious to know how he made it to TIME magazine and he could not even come close to the vans.

    2. AK’s bodyguards who are out of shape and im pretty sure useless in a fight are rude. ANYONE in America knows breaking the law here has major consequences. If someone tried to kiss AB or Katrina, its jail time NO questions asked and so realizing that they should know we in America are more behaved and civilized than India. No disrespect to India in any way, shape or form but we can manage the law better here !

    3. Dhoom 3 success. I can assure you, and you can save this page or take a screen shot…… THIS MOVIE WILL NOT be a success.

    I wish you the best of success after Dhoom 3, hope you learned from your mistakes, hope you understand what “fans” really mean and the difficulty we go through to take off work and drive distances to see our stars and finally PUT A HUGE BANNER ON DHOOM 3 MOVIE THANKING THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND ALL ITS FANS !!!

    A LOYAL FAN TO CINEMA, an A-hole to arrogant organizations.

  1054. crazy comments but have to agree, Bollywood impressions not taken well by us. I wonder how SRK and others did Kal ho Na Ho and other US based movies ???!?!?!??!?!?!

  1055. THIS MESSAGE IS FOR VICTOR AND EVERYONE ON THE DHOOM 3 STAFF.

    1. Your DHOOM3 maybe good at heart but your ENTIRE STAFF you brought with you from India and New York are a FUC*ING insult to India, Bollywood and the rest of the United States of America.

    A LOYAL FAN TO CINEMA, an A-hole to arrogant organizations.

  1056. Wow. U are mad because you drove from far away and could not see or meet anyone. That’s all. This is not a rant page.
    I was actually part of the crew…as an extra for Dhoom3…it was an honor. The staff, crew, director, and actors were doing the right thing by not allowing people like u onto the set.
    There was a wrap up party and thank God u were not invited.

  1058. Wow …. We are having a fan war now….. however I do agree with D3 Somewhat….. I was also waiting to see AK one night till 2 am and he left the Place from the Back Door and it was hardly 20 people waiting for him patiently outside. That was not Fair ……. and bollybuzz For you it may be not a big deal because you were with the “CREW” AS an Extra so you did not go through the Pain of traveling and waiting for hours………So you don’t understand……

  1059. This is a reply to the really long comment above abt dhoom 3 crew not letting fans access on the set. I agree with u 100% that we r the ones that drive their profit. But i also like to mention that fans did have access to meet the stars. At least amir made it happen. It was his call. Whenever he had the chance after shooting or during shooting, he gave the us the opportunity to meet him, talk to him and take pics with him. He jus couldnt do it for us all the time because they were on a tight schedule and whenever he had to give first priority to shooting, he did. Whene ver he had a chance to meet with fans, he did that as well. If they let all the fans get in the way all the time, then they wouldnt be able to get their work done. Its not jus abt the law and how people behave

  1064. OK, think its time to get back on track? Has anyone heard anything for today?

    I haven’t heard anything, think they could be off today?

  1065. The person who wrote the big ugly message above, clearly has no idea as to what he/she is talking about.

    Mr./Ms. D3/Pretty, whoever you are. First off decide on a screenname. You are typing same message under two different screen names.

    Coming to the point.. Did you meet Christian Bale? Or are you making assumptions based on a few smiling fan pictures that you saw in newspapers?

    I live and work in Chicago. I see lots of filming happening here. I see that it is almost next to impossible to go and meet the Hollywood stars here. Yes, they might have a couple of pictures with a couple of “ultra lucky” fans. When those pictures are published in newspapers, ignorant people like you start making assumptions.

    Yes, we fans make or break a star. But do you think these stars should spend all their time having pictures with us? All the dollars spend in those permits, security, staff etc. have no value?

    Yes, some of those stars might be arrogant. But then many of the fans are too. All those dirty words that you have spoken about that lady clearly show the kind of values that your parents gave you and the kind of person you are. I am happy that you did not get a chance to meet those stars. Who knows how you would have behaved.

    No one knows whether the movie will be a hit or not. But one thing that is clear is that there are definitely dirty minds around.

    Good day.

  1066. People,
    PLEASE…Take your arguments somewhere….Let’s get back to informative & professional comments..there’s no end to back and forth comments..Anyone know the location for today?

  1067. If you guys really want to get the message across, I’d say put a BANNER near the shooting scene. I work for the set crew. I didn’t follow Aamir to airport. I dropped him off. I’ve been providing you guys with accurate information on every post.

    If you put a BANNER, I will try and get Victors attention during the breaks. D3 is 100% accurate. The stars should have organized autograph/picture days for their chicago fans.

    • i promise you, whatever you do in life – I wish you the best.

      I got a lot of info about the sets through the where these stars were staying but other than this blog, you have been a great help.

  1081. Good morning everyone. There is something going on on La Salle between Jackson and Adams this morning. I saw some special effects trucks parked on the next street over on Clark, but did not see any actors trailers. Could be something else. I’ll try to go out again soon and double check.
    Just a heads up…..

  1085. Hey guys,
    Any news on schedules for their final days? I know people arent interested anymore with the big stars gone but I havent had the chance to see anything yet so Id like a chance, even vanity vans or some bikes. So any news will be much appreciated.

  1086. Me too, I also never knew about the movie shooting until they showed the interview of AK on Chicago Tonight news on Channel 11 on Oct. 10. Then I asked some people about the timing and the location of the filming. They said that the shooting is over and some actors are still here but, the big stars are gone already gone. They didn’t know any schedule and I didn’t know where to look for them. I was so sad!
