Though both the parties are maintaining a tight-lipped silence on -record, it is safe and correct to state that Abhishek Bachchan who was the original choice for the role is finally doing Rakeysh Mehra's autobiographical Delhi 6.The film chronicles the director's growing-up years in the Chandni Chowk, and the title refers to the postal pincode for the area where Rakeysh Mehra's film unfoldsMehra and the younger Bachchan, fast friends and creative collaborators since Rakeysh was supposed to direct Abhishek's debut in Samjhauta Express, fell apart over date problemsThe project then went to Hrithik Roshan, Rang De Basanti's Siddharth and finally the bright superstar-in-the-making Ranbir Kapoor"Like they say, Daane-daane par likha hai khane wale ka naam. The world is indeed round. The fact that the project has returned to Abhishek proves it," says a source close to the project, while Abhishek in his habitually diplomatic way is cautious. "Right now, it's too early to talk about it."He now leaves for Nambia for the shooting of Goldie Behl's Drona. The dates for Delhi 6 will be worked out when Abhishek returns. The film is expected to be shot in the summer of 2008 in Delhiaward winning filmmaker Mani Ratnam himself who gave superstar Abhishek Bachchan his military-style crew-cut for the upcoming film “Raavan”The haircut was a result of a long standing promise that Abhishek made to Ratnam a few years back while shooting for “Yuva”“Mani Ratnam wanted Abhishek to cut his hair for ‘Yuva’. But Abhishek ended up keeping his own hairstyle with a promise in store that one day he ‘will allow Mani Ratnam to cut his hair’. And so on the first day of the shooting in Kerala on the sets of ‘Raavan’, Mani himself gave Abhishek the ‘Beera’ hair style,” said a source.Abhishek usually spends a lot of time detailing the look for his characters. While he had put on several kilos to look the part of Gurukant Desai in “Guru”, he shed lot of weight for “Raavan”o-produced by Reliance BIG Pictures, “Raavan” is set for a June 18 release. It also features Aishwarya Rai, southern star Vikram, Govinda and Ravi Kis
