Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

The fate of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Dilli 6 cannot be predicted. However we can predict that the movie will always be remembered for its casting woes. Now that Abhishek Bachchan has been finalized for the movie (for now), Mehra is

concentrating on the female lead.  And its none other than Sonam Kapoor.

A source informs, "Sonam Kapoor has been finalised to play the lead role in Rakeysh Mehra's film Dilli 6. Earlier, Mehra was very keen to sign Kareena Kapoor and Soha Ali Khan for the role but the moment he signed Abhishek, he dropped the idea of signing Kareena altogther. After Saawariya trailers hit the small screen, Sonam bagged the role. Sonal is also pretty excited about working with Mehra and Abhishek Bachchan. The film will go on the floors in the second week of December in Delhi."
