Actor Sanjay Dutt, who was working in double shifts to wrap up his projects before surrendering himself to the police, needs about a week to finish shooting PK, a source said.
A source close to the team revealed that director Rajkumar Hirani had requested Aamir Khan to take time out from his schedule for Dhoom 3 and be part of the PK shoot with Sanjay Dutt. A few portions are yet to be shot with Dutt.
Hirani said there were about eight days of shooting left with Dutt, according to the source.
PK also features Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Rajput.
Dutt, 53, was sentenced to five years in jail by the apex court on March 21 for illegal arms possession during the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts.
He was told to surrender by April 18, but has appealed to the Supreme Court for more time to surrender.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday deferred the hearing till 10.30am Wednesday.
Dutt has already served one-and-a-half years of imprisonment for illegal possession of arms in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case and has three-and-half years more to serve.
According to industry insiders, more than Rs700 million (Dh47 million) is riding on his shoulders as he has several high-profile projects under his belt.
