If reports are to be believed, then the Saawariya girl Sonam Kapoor has been signed by Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra for his film Dilli 6. The director has been in the news lately for having changed the male lead of his film seven times.
If the director sticks by his current choice of male leads, then Sonam will be cast opposite Abhishek Bachchan. Sonam has been heard saying that she has a mindblowing offer. Mehra was earlier very keen to cast Kareena Kapoor and Soha Ali Khan for the role. But the moment he signed Abhishek, he dropped the idea of casting Kareena. After the Saawariya trailers hit the small screen, Sonam bagged the role. She is very excited at the prospect of working with Mehra and Abhishek. The film is believed to go on the floors by the second week of December in Delhi. Mehra has been having a tough time trying to finalise the cast of Dilli 6. He has changed the male lead seven times already. The actors considered for the film include current choice Abhishek, Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, Ranbir Kapoor, Siddharth, Imran Khan and even a newcomer. But the search started with Abhishek and seems to have ended there as well.
