Sonam to star opposite SRK in Yash Raj film
Aditya Chopra, son of Yash Chopra will return to directing after a long hiatus with SRK starrer 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi'. As the title suggests the film has a Punjabi angle and hence Aditya was on the lookout for a young Punjabi girl to star opposite SRK. Aditya auditioned several girls from different places for the character of the Punjabi girl, but unfortunately he was not satisfied. However now Aditya seems to have found the right choice for his Punjabi girl character and it is none other than Sonam Kapoor. Sonam will now be seen opposite SRK in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
Aditya Chopra will be directing Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi after a long hiatus and obviously the film will have the Chopra's lucky mascot, Shahrukh Khan. The film's script too has been written by Aditya and is supposedly about the love story of a 40 year old man and a sixteen year old girl. Hence Adi was on the look out for a fair, tall Punjabi girl to play the sixteen year old in his film. He held several auditions but was unable to come up with a worthy candidate. However later Aditya realised that Anil Kapoor's daughter, Sonam who has made her debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Sawariyaa was the perfect choice for his Punjabi girl character. Aditya then approached Anil Kapoor who was only too happy that Sonam would be part of a Yash Raj film.
Sonam made her film debut opposite the dashing hunk Ranbir Kapoor in Sawariyaa, she is currently doing Rakeysh Mehra's Dilli 6 opposite Abhishek Bachchan and now it seems that she will soon be working with one of the most prestigious banners, Yash Raj films and she will be paired with one of bollywood's top actor's Shahrukh Khan. It seems that although Sonam's film Sawariyaa flopped, her career seems to have taken off in a big way. Aditya will be returning to direction after a hiatus of around eight years and naturally he wants everything about his film to be perfect. Sources claim "Aditya felt that Sonam suited the role of the fair, tall sixteen year old Punjabi girl perfectly." However neither Aditya nor Anil Kapoor has confirmed the news.
