Looks like Rang De Basanti has done the trick for Rakeysh Mehra. After directing Amitabh Bachchan in his first film Aks, Rakyesh Mehra has now got in Abhishek Bachchan to do his next film. But that’s not all. Astonishingly, Abhishek has signed up three straight films with the director. The first film to go on floors is titled Delhi 6.
Rakyesh Mehra’s Delhi 6 is based on his growing up years in Chandni Chowk area of New Delhi. Abhishek will play the character based on Rakeysh Mehra himself. The last of these three films with Abhishek, Rakeysh has also planned to cast Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan. The film is a musical and is titled Bhairavi.
Apparently, there are many interesting stories about the associations of the two in the past. According to Mehra, he was to launch Abhishek Bachchan with Samjhauta Express. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out and the project got shelved. After this, Mehra wanted Abhishek to play the character of Karan in Rang De Basanti, which was finally played by Siddhartha. Finally, the duo has teamed for a hat trick now. Something which we will be definitely looking forward to!
