Rakesh Mehra has wrapped up the shooting of his latest film, Dilli 6, starring Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor in the lead roles. The last day of the shoot took place last Friday. The film now enters the production stage.

Dilli 6 was not without its share of drama. Mehra spent a lot of time trying to find leading man for his film. It will be remembered that he even tried Hrithik Roshan before coming back to Abhishek Bachchan. For actress Sonam Kapoor, who made her debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya, it was quite a jump to be cast opposite Abhishek in Mehra's next after Rang De Basanti. Shot mainly in Rajasthan, the film saw Aamir Khan's wife, Kiran Rao stepping in to act as first assistant to Mehra, when his first AD had to leave for the US due to personal reasons. In fact, when Aamir heard of Mehra's crisis, he was ready to assist him but his dates were taken by Ghajini. So his wife, who was an assistant on Lagaan, volunteered to go ahead and bail out Mehra. She seems to have done just fine as Mehra is believed to have gone on record to praise her initiative during his crisis.
