American-born Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) brings his ailing grandmother back to India. Little does he know that the quick trip will turn into the longest journey of his life - a journey within. The backdrop of the story is the ancient walled city of Delhi, better known as Chandni Chowk, a character in herself. It represents the chaos, religion, beliefs and ethos of the Indian people. The pin code of the part of the city is 110006, and with pride of love they call her Delhi-6.
Sonam Kapoor, daughter of Anil Kapoor, who made her debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya, reportedly confirmed taking part in the movie and is paired with Abhishek Bachchan. Rishi Kapoor and Tanvi Azmi are also apart of the film. The film went on the floors December 20, 2007. Amitabh Bachchan reportedly has a small role in the film where he is supposed to play the grandfather to Roshan, played by Abhishek Bachchan. Waheeda Rahman will play the grandmother of the same character. Gulshan Grover has been roped in to play Abhishek Bachchan's dad in the film.
The movie was first unveiled on the Dubai International Film Festival. Following the screening was an interactive Q and A round, comprising of the director with the rest of starcast and a vast audience. During this interaction, Rakeysh spoke about his key influences and the theme of the film, while the film's actors described their experience of working with Rakyesh. A video featuring Abhishek and Sonam's interview can be watched in the reference along with this section. The official trailer for the movie was released on January 4, 2009 which featured Abhishek watching Sonam dancing with the pigeon "Masakalli" on her head.
A.R. Rahman is the music director of this film. And Prasoon Joshi is the lyricist. Sonu Nigam, Mohit Chauhan and Sukhwinder Singh have reportedly sung songs in the film. The music is slated to release on 14th January 2009. The first video of the song "Masakalli" has been released featuring Sonam and Abhishek with a pigeon. The song "Masakalli" was not part of the original film. According to the director,"The song was not really meant to be part of the narrative. I mean, who would think of putting in a song about a dove in a film like ‘Delhi-6′? It just happened. When I came to the pre-climax portion of my script, I was stuck. I needed a continuity link taking the narrative to its finale". |
