Influence

The movie had a significant cultural impact among urban Indian youth. It was blamed for an increase in incidents of street racing, bike-borne theft and stunting on public roads. Besides, there was a new impetus to the bike-modifying scene with youth going in for modifications to their bikes ranging from free flow exhaust systems to addition of NOS kits. In Malappuram district of Kerala, four members of a group of criminals had cracked the floor of South Malabar Gramin Bank in the early hours on 30 December 2007 and looted 2.5 million and 80 kilograms of gold, a total worth of Rs. 80 million, considered to be one of the biggest thefts in Kerala's crime records. The Kerala Police have arrested four people in connection with this and the leader admitted that he was inspired by Dhoom. The media in India drew parallels to Dhoom 2. [32] [33]

Graphic novel

A graphic novel named Dhoom: Redux 893, has been published in 2012 by Yomics. [34]

Rumoured projects

There have been large number of false rumours spread of an upcoming sequel to Dhoom 3, some rumours stating that Akshay Kumar would be in Dhoom 4. [39] However, Yash Raj Films later clarified that they had never asked Akshay for a role in the film. In fact they further even stated that they did not even have a script, plot, or even an idea, at that point. [39] The response that the production company gave even further clarified that there was no actors yet even signed or in consideration for the so-called Dhoom 4 by the production company. [40] This was not the first time such a rumour relating to Dhoom 4 happened, when Shah Rukh Khan was rumoured to be in the film, one of the directors at the production company stated a similar statement that there was no story for a Dhoom 4. [41] The actor himself even stated that he had not yet been offered to sign up for a Dhoom 4 film. [42] This was the same case when other actors were speculated, with the production house stating the same response. [43] In fact in at some time in 2018, a spokesperson of the production company stated that there were no current plans for the movie. [44] However, around the time of the release of Thugs of Hindostan , a film made by the same director of Dhoom 3, some people from the production house stated the possibility of a release of Dhoom 4 lies on how successful the movie is.
