Delhi-6 Not An Autobiographical Film
Filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has dismissed rumours that his much-awaited Delhi-6 is an onscreen autobiographical adaptation.
However, the Rang de Basanti writer does admit he has used some fond memories of his childhood and youth in the movie.
“Delhi-6 is not an autobiography at all. I've just delved into my childhood memories and my youth in the film. I've only used what I observed when I was growing up in the backdrop. It's more of the colour of that life that has been used in the background than anything else,” Mehra told the IANS news agency.
"It's the story of an Indian origin American boy Roshan Mehra who comes to India to drop his ailing grandmother...like taking a fish back to water. It is the journey of this man and his search for his roots," he said.
Delhi-6 was written by Mehra along with Prasoon Joshi and Kamlesh Pandey.
It stars Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor. There will also be a special guest appearance by the Big B himself.
Mehra had the time of his life filming the movie and the 45-year-old is delighted to have come back to Bollywood for this project.
"Every day was an anecdote for us. Basically, we shot with a lot of chaos but with balance and that's what personifies India. That is the basic energy of the film. We recreated Delhi in Rajasthan and about 75 per cent of the film is shot there, and the rest in Chandni Chowk," he said.
A major part of the film was shot in Rajasthan because he did not want to disturb the people living in Chandni Chowk, said Mehra.
"Except for capturing some aspects of the walled Delhi, we couldn't have shot the whole film in that part of Delhi. Otherwise, we would have disturbed the life out there," he said.
