It seems the fate of “Dhoom 3” may just rest on the stork that will be delivering the latest Bachchan family addition, as Abhishek and Aishwarya prepare for parenthood in November.

Sources close to the Yash Raj camp have hinted that Abhishek has requested for paternity leave in the following months, which could very well upset the shooting schedule of “Dhoom 3”, which was supposed to go to the floors in November.

While, neither the Bachchans or the Yash Raj camp have come forward to confirm the news, it is wildly speculated that the delay will go ahead by a month or so to accommodate the request; after all, the family connection go way back, with patriarch Amitabh Bachchan and production head honcho Yash Chopra sharing a close relationship since the 1970s, while sons Abhishek and Uday being best of friends.

Abhishek plays Inspector Jai Dixit in the “Dhoom” franchise, which has also seen wife Aishwarya essay the role of a thief in the series’ second instalment.

“Dhoom 3” has been in the news all year since the casting coup of Aamir Khan in the franchise’s alleged final instalment. Aamir plays the villain (reportedly a gymnast) in the latest and his scenes will apparently only be shot around May 2012.
