One of the most awaited films, Dhoom 3, a Yash Raj Film, has been postponed. Well, the film that was supposed to go on floors in November will now be postponed to December.
The reason being Abhishek Bachchan. Well, the soon to be mommy, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is expected to deliver sometime around November and so Abhi has asked for some family time.
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.
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.”
