"Dhoom"'s "Race" halted by scheduling woes

It's a time for delays as two much anticipated movies are pushed further down the calendar.

The first biggie is the much talked about Dhoom 3. Whilst

If Dhoom 3 remained at it's original release date, the film would have clashed with the sequel of last years mega blockbuster, Dabangg 2. However, it has been heard that it was Aamir's decision to postpone the release of Dhoom 3, in bid not to collide against good buddy Salman, along with the fact that they would not be able to finish the shooting of the film in the scheduled time. Salman too has reciprocated earlier by switching the release date of his YRF film, Ek Tha Tiger, so it doesn't come up against Aamir's film directed by Reema Kagti. Seems like these two friends are always on a look out for each other!

Race 2, on the other hand, is facing problem of its own but not, as some rumours seem to claim, because Priyanka Chopra has been pulled into the project. Apparently the sequel - which stars Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Sonakshi Sinha - has been pushed back from it's release date of May 2012 to accommodate Deepika. 

But whilst the actress can now commit to the shoots, it has left Sonakshi Sinha in a lurch as the movie may now clash with her sequel for Dabangg.
