The ‘Dilli 6 unit has hired a body double for Junior B. This has spared Abhishek the risk of doing dangerous stunts in the movie.

Sounds so much like a blessing for Junior B. After all he must have got fed up of doing stunts and so much hard work uselessly for that huge dud called ‘Drona’.

To make things painless for him director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra decided to hire a body double for him from Hollywood, no less for the life risking stunts.

The 25 year old Dean Alexandrou has previously done stunts for small time Hollywood movies like ‘Vampire: The Turning’ and ‘The Kingmaker’. He has also won the British blackbelt Taekwondo championship in 2001.

He was also Imran Khan’s body double in another super dud ‘Kidnap’.

According to a close source, "Dean is known for performing very risky and difficult aerial and acrobatic stunts. He is British, Rakeysh’s movie needed Abhishek do a lot of aerial stunts and Dean was the ideal person for doing those. He is trained in martial arts and he is also a champion in Taekwondo. He has done some amazing and risky stuff in the movie."

‘Dilli 6' also has Sonam Kapoor as the leading lady along with Om Puri, Atul Kulkarni, Divya Dutta, Rishi Kapoor and Tanvi Azmi.

Big B incidentally plays grandfather to Abhishek and Waheeda Rahman plays his grandmother in the movie which started its shooting schedule in December last year.

The film’s plot is believed to be based on Rakeysh’s growing up years in the Chandni Chowk area of Old Delhi. ‘Six’ is the city pin code of Chandni Chowk.

It will be fascinating to see how this movie works out for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra after the great successful RDB!
