Even as Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra prepares to start his next project, the autobiographical “Delhi 6″, he is also planning a casting coup for “Bhairavi” – three of the Bachchans.
Mehra intends to bring Amitabh, Jaya and Abhishek together in their real-life roles of husband, wife and son in “Bhairavi”, which will be set in the world of classical Indian music and carry forward the theme of strife amidst competitive creativity.
“It’s a project that has been with me for a while. I have already narrated it to Amitji and Abhishek. And they’re on,” Mehra said.
“Ideally, I’d have liked to make it immediately after ‘Aks’. But a combination of forces came in the way. I’m ready to do the film as soon as the dates are worked out. One thing is for sure. ‘Bhairavi’ has to be made with Amitji, Abhishek and Jaya,” he added.
But Jaya is known to be extremely finicky about projects. She isn’t too sold on the idea of coming together with her husband and son on screen. Will she agree?
“She has to! I’ll go on a hunger strike in front of her house until she agrees. ‘Bhairavi’ must be made, preferably this year,” said Mehra.
Incidentally, Bhairavi is the name of Mehra’s daughter.
