Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Rang De Basanti which came and won hearts three years ago will be the star attractions at the ongoing SAARC Film Festival in Abu Dhabi. Pakistani movie 'Khuda Ke Liye' directed by Shoaib Mansoor will also give it company.

The festival will also feature a film from Bangladesh - AHA, Caravan from Nepal and Sri Lankan movie Nisalgira and Samanala Thatu.

All the movies to be screened during the fest will be subtitled in English and Arabic.

Ace filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has dismissed the hearsays that his upcoming film starring Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor “Delhi-6” is an autobiography.

At the same time, Mehra accepts that the movie is based on his growing up days in Delhi’s Chandini Chowk.

Rakeysh said, “Delhi-6 is not an autobiography at all. I've just delved into my childhood memories and my youth in the film. I've only used what I observed when I was growing up in the backdrop. It's more of the colour of that life that has been used in the background than anything else.”

Sounds strange, but it is true!

Delhi-6 director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has decided to gift 51 different kinds of pickles to Abhishek Bachchan on his upcoming birthday on Feb 5.

When he was asked about this, Mehra said, “During the making of Delhi 6, I realized that Abhishek has a taste for Indian food. He used to gorge on local delicacies. That’s how this came to my mind.”

It is believed that the director had ordered the pickles from Khadi Bauli, which is considered as the biggest achaar market of the country.
