Let’s hear it from the actor about the show and his character in the serial, his future in singing and many more. 

Sitting through this inane film is an absolute torture and one should consider himself lucky he comes out of the hall without a headache. The film throws together an apology of a plot, hamming actors, plenty of double innuendo dialogues, badly picturised songs and a director who doesn’t know his job.

Abhishek Bachan tells Jyothi tells Venkatesh that Drona failed to click at the box office because its screenplay was its undoing and also adds that he and Ash have no plans to have a baby as of now. The film has not taken the box office by storm but when I meet him for this interview at his office in the bungalow Janak, Abhishek tells me that what appealed to him when he was offered the film Delhi 6 was the fact that though Roshan is an American by mind, he is an Indian by heart.

Delhi 6 is a delightful musical run through the Hindu and Muslim cultures of Old Delhi as seen through the eyes of protagonist Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) who comes to India to fulfill the desire of his terminally ill Daadi (Waheeda Rehman) to spend the last days of her life in her hometown. As Roshan after a brief culture shock, tries to understand the complexities of relations that kept his people apart from each other as well as close to each other, he slowly gets attached to Bittu (Sonam Kapoor) and the chemistry grows, which is very convincingly directed using rich background music and believable day-to-day situations.

I told the press I had composed a song that would suit his voice. To this he replied again through the press that he didn't want to sing for me. We've not met. We haven't exchanged a call or an sms."

Whatever Akshay Kumar does, he does it with style. If he comes up with two huge money spinners in the form of 'Singh Is Kinng' and 'Welcome', his flops too never fail to make news. Last year it was 'Tashan', which in spite of being a failure went on to garner over 30 crores just from India box office. This year it is 'Chandni Chowk To China' which dropped miserably after the opening weekend but already has 30 crores in it's kitty (from India). And yes, it is going to surpass the total of 'Tashan'!
