Even though Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has won the Best Director statuette at Star Screen Awards, he is having difficulty in finding a hero for his next movie.
Mehra had first finalized Abhishek Bachchan to play the lead role in his next film Delhi 6 , which is based on Mehra’s youth days in Chandni Chowk. Surprisingly, Abhishek opted out of the movie after a deal could not be finalized between UTV and AB Corp to produce the movie jointly.
Later, Mehra had approached Hrithik Roshan for the role. Hrithik had expressed interest but is now said to be hesitant in committing to the project.
While some people speculate that after the success of Krrish and Dhoom 2 and after winning two awards for Best Actor (GIFA award and Screen award), Hrithik now wants to do big movies only, sources say that Hrithik will be too busy in the first half of this year to commit to Mehra’s film.
He is presently shooting for Ashutosh Gowarikar’s movie Jodha Akbar and after that will move on to Zoya Akhtar’s first movie Kismat Talkies with Kareena Kapoor.
Rakeysh Mehra, who wants to start shooting ‘Delhi 6’ in the coming months, is now said to be thinking of signing Akshay Kumar instead.
