I have some scripts lying around at home but I haven't had the time to read them," Abhishek told Mid Day.

When asked if he feels the pressure of being Amitabh Bachchan's son, he replied saying "First of all, I have no pressure as such. I think the media feels the pressure more than I do. I never think about it and I am immensely proud of being my father's son. I am just an actor who works doubly hard for every film."

Abhishek is currently in Chicage, U.S., shooting Vijay Krishna Acharya's "Dhoom 3" along with other cast and crew of the film.

"I am on a three month-long outdoor shoot schedule. It will take up all my time. So holidays and other celebrations have to be clubbed alongside."

"Dhoom 3" is the third instalment of the Dhoom series which features Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra, Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif and Jackie Shroff.

Abhishek and Uday will play the roles of cops, Aamir will be seen in negative role, Katrina Kaif will be the female lead of the movie and Jackie Shroff will have a cameo appearance in the film.
