Sometime
back,
we
told
you
of
Rang
De
Basanti
director
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra
and
UTV
joining
hands
to
produce
four
films
with
the
total
budget
being
Rs.
280
crores.
The
gamut
of
films
to
be
directed
by
Mehra
includes
Paanch
Kaurav
[a
trilogy]
and
Dilli-6,
based
on
Mehra's
growing
up
years
in
the
vibrant
Chandni
Chowk
area
of
New
Delhi.
The casting of Dilli-6 has been the topic of discussion ever since Mehra announced the project officially. Initially, Mehra had approached Hrithik Roshan for the main role, then Abhishek Bachchan, later Akshay Kumar. Just recently, it was reported that Mehra had finally confirmed Siddharth [enacted one of the leads in Rang De Basanti] for the role in question.
"It's completely untrue," Mehra clarifies when I quiz him about the casting, "I haven't signed Siddharth for the film. In fact, I haven't signed anyone so far. The media keeps planting someone every alternate week." Didn't he approach Akshay Kumar again? "Not at all! I guess, the media knows more about my film than I do," he laughs.
