The suspense is out! The producers of DELHI 6, UTV and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, had kept Amitabh Bachchan’s cameo in the film hidden from all and sundry. Now it can be told. The veteran stars in the film, albeit in a brief role. He first appears in a photograph, when Waheeda Rehman walks into the ancestral home and refers to Bachchan Sr. as her husband. Yep, Bachchan Sr. enacts the role of Abhishek’s grandfather in the film.

Bachchan Sr. eventually appears on the screen towards the end, during a crucial part of the climax. The sequence brings the real-life father son together. Of course, we wouldn’t like to spill the beans, but the sequence is vital for the film.

Abhishek is a little envious of Aishwarya

Being very talented and beautiful makes her one of the most envied actresses in filmdom.

Ash has even left behind hubby Abhi too.

And though he’s very supportive of her, he’s also a little bit jealous.

And most of it is because of the attention she’s getting from her co-star of Pink Panther 2, Steve Martin.

Abhishek remarks, “We were at the premiere of ‘Pink Panther 2′ and it was great fun. It’s a hilarious film. Steve Martin is a genius. I am very jealous of Ash.

He is someone I have been idolising when I was growing up. And Ash gets the opportunity to work with the likes of Steve Martin and Jeremy Irons.”

But he’s looking forward to his films with wifey and hoping that the great personal and professional chemistry continues for a long, long time.
