Kat wins over Sonam Kapoor for Dibakar Bannerjee’s film

Katrina Kaif’s think Brit accent gave her leverage over Sonam Kapoor recently.

Ever since Oye Lucky Lucky Oye worked well in the box office, Sonam and daddy dearest, Anil Kapoor were hoping she would bag the role of the leading lady in his film. He was invited home and shown show reels but much to Sonam’s dismay, the director wasn’t looking for the quintessential Indian beauty.

The film will have Imran Khan and Abhay Deol along with Katrina Kaif. Sonam did catch his attention but with his film requiring a firangi in the film, it was only understandable that Kat was approached for the role.

We hope the next project has Sonam in the flick.

Sonam, the matchmaker

Sonam Kapoor might be happily single but the bubbly actress loves to play matchmaker — she hooks up her single friends!

“I am happily single, but I do play a matchmaker at times for my friends. However, I often end up fixing the wrong guys with the wrong girls!” laughs Sonam. It’s a little uncanny then that the actress will be essaying the role of the match-making Emma from Jane Austen’s classic, in a celluloid, modern-adaptation (called Aisha) of the same. Now, if only the girl can do some ‘fixing’ for herself... But it better not go wrong this time round.

Sonam Kapoor heading for an image makeover

Sonam Kapoor has had two releases uptil now and the girl has appeared as the coy girl-next-door in both her flicks. Now, it is time for an image makeover for this newcomer. But since no film maker has approached the Kapoor girl with a glam role, Sonam has turned to her Papa dear Anil Kapoor to get her wish fulfilled.

So now we have Anil Kapoor to produce a movie titled ‘Ayesha’ based on the the famous novel “Emma” written by Jane Austen. Sonam, of course, will be playing the lead role of Emma (Ayesha here) who is rich, easy going and flamboyant. Abhay Deol has been reportedly roped in for the project and a new actor named Arunodoy Singh is to play another male lead role.

While Abhay will be seen as a man who clandestinely loves and cares for the heroine, Arunodoy will give life to a role of a playful young man for whom the leading lady has a soft corner. V.J Cyrus Sahukar will be come across as a man who wishes to marry Ayesha. The task of editing the novel has been trusted upon Devika Bhagat, the writer of ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’.

Though both her previous films bombed at the box office, Sonam Kapoor has stolen everyone’s heart with her beauty and freshness. Lets see how much appreciation she gets in a glamorous role.
