Dhoom 3 postponed

Yash Raj Films' ambitious project Dhoom 3 has been postponed. The film was supposed to go on floors in November will now start at least a month later. Reason: Soon-to-turn-daddy Abhishek Bachchan.

The actor, who plays the upright cop Jai Dixit, has asked for some family time since his wife Aiswarya Rai is expected to deliver around November too. Needless to say, the production house has happily agreed to his paternity leave.

The film, that involves cool bikes, the latest gadgets, a crook and a cop will now not be able to go on floors without the main crook chaser.

The film will now go on floors in December or January. According to an insider, "Yash Raj had Abhishek's dates from November onwards. But Aishwarya is due in November and Abhishek wants to spend some quality time with his baby and wife before getting back to work. Hence, he requested YRF to postpone the shoot for a month or two."

The source adds, "Bachchans are family to Yash Chopra. He immediately agreed to give Abhishek some time off. He asked the makers of Dhoom 3 to begin shooting the film only after Abhishek is ready.

Abhishek in turn has agreed to start shooting mid-December. Now depending on the availability of the locations and technicians, Dhoom 3 will go on floors in December this year or January next year."

"Aishwarya is an integral part of the Dhoom franchise. Her contribution in Dhoom 2 cannot be forgotten. Yash Chopra is well aware of that. That is one more reason why Abhishek's request was respected," adds the source.

Abhishek was supposed to start shooting with Uday Chopra in November. "Uday is free. So Uday has no problem adjusting his availability to suit Abhishek's convenience," reveals the source.

However, according to the YRF spokesperson, "Well, our schedule of Dhoom 3 has still not been finalised. So, it's a little premature to be discussing a postponement. And yes, most certainly we will keep in mind the arrival of joy in the Bachchan household while planning Abhishek's schedule."

Speaking about Aamir Khan's dates, the source reveals, "Well, Aamir comes in only around April or May next year. As of now, he is busy preparing his character which is that of a gymnast."

Good for Abhishek for letting them know before they completely commenced shooting...Abhi gets to spend some time being a papa and YRF won't have any problems with scheduling everybody

That said, Aamir's supposed to be a gymnast? I want him to be really EEEVIL in this one...gymnast or not, he better not be playing Aryan part 2😆
