/> Who says Raavan created a dent? It's raining Abhishek starrers at the boxoffice. In the next six months Abhishek Bachchan has three big releases lined up, two of them before 2010 is done.

The latest buzz is that Abhishek's pal Rohan Sippy's Dum Maro Dum has been postponed from December to April would have a lot more of the Junior B than originally planned.

Says a source, "Abhishek's role in Dum Maro Dum of a cop on a drug-busting mission in Goa has distinct shades of his dad's career-turning role as a cop settling scores in Zanjeer.

Since both Junior Bachchan and director Rohan Sippy are huge fans of the Big B, Abhishek's role in Dum Maro Dum will now be a full-on homage to the irate cop's cleansing of corruption in Zanjeer."

Apparently the action sequences which were the forte of Zanjeer are now being strengthened in Dum Maro Dum. With two back-to-back Abhishek Bachchan starrers Ashutosh Gowariker's Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey and Abhinay Deo's Game scheduled for this year, Fox Star Studios have pushed their Abhishek starrer Dum Maro Dum to April 2011, although the film is nearly complete.

In fact the studio whose maiden attempt at cracking Bollywood in My Name Is Khan showed impressive results, decided to squeeze in another quickie Khichdi to keep Fox's kitchen in India running until the next post -Khan biggie had a free-way for a smooth run.

Serving up Khichdi served up a dual purpose. It provided an easily identifiable comic connectivity with the audience. And television actors had all the time in the world to give to the film, as the serial had closed down two years ago.

Confirming that Dum Maro Dum had indeed been pushed to next year to accommodate the other two Abhishek starrers Fox Star Studio's CEO Vijay Singh says, "We are going to complete the film this month. But we'll hold on to it till April 2011.

There's no point in cluttering the market with three Abhishek Bachchan starrers. However Khichdi was not a stop-gap film for us. Much thought had gone into producing it."

Singh is proud that Khichdi is the first large-screen adaptation of a television series in India. "We released it with as many as 400 prints across the country. For us it was not a small film at all.And it was certainly not a stop-gap project meant to absorb the delay in the release of Dum Maro Dum.
