Sonam Ki Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Sonam Ki Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

At last, Sonam Kapoor has a reason to smile. Despite her Saawariya debacle, Aditya Chopra has signed her for SRK's next Yash Raj venture Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

The King Khan was last paired with another 22-year-old debutante Deepika Padukone in his last film Om Shanti Om. But unlike OSO, the script for Aditya Chopra's film mandates the massive age difference since it focuses on the love between a 40-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl.

Extensive talent hunts were organised by Yashraj Films to scout for just the right girl with the authentic Punjabi look who will play a 16-year-old in the film. Hundreds of authentic Punjabi kudis participated in the auditions held in Punjab.

In fact, Aditya Chopra himself went through the shortlist, but found no one suitable. He was indeed very finicky about signing the right girl because he was making his comeback to direction after a gap of eight years and wanted to get everything perfect.

After all his talent hunts led to a dead end, Adi spoke to Anil Kapoor, who was more than glad to have Sonam get into the Yashraj camp, that too directed by none other that Adi himself.

The film will be shot extensively in Greece, Australia and Dubai and will release by the end of 2008.

Sonam to star opposite SRK in Yash Raj film

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.

Dream comes true for Sonam

This dame who has been lying low key for quite sometime after her debut film 'Saawariya' has bagged yet another jackpot. Yes this time she has landed herself a role opposite none other that the King Khan. After Sonam acted in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Saawariya' it was the hero of the film Ranbir who seemed to make a mark and Sonam had just one good film in her kitty with Dilli 6. read more

She was the most talked about actress just 3 months ago!

She was the most talked about actress just 3 months ago!



She was hyped to create a storm in the industry with her charming looks, sensuous acting and girl-next-door looks in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much-talked about film 'Saawariya'.

Yes, we are talking about the sleep-eyed Sonam Kapoor, whose hopes fell flat when the film bombed at the box-office.

While critics wrote her off and the film, Bhansali was quick to get to his film's rescue as he openly blasted Farah Khan and her non-realistic story!

It was like putting salt to Sonam's wound when her co-star, Ranbir Kapoor walked off with all the popularity and the 'Discovery of the Year' awards, while she kept gazing at her competitor and newcomer, Deepika Padukone getting her share of limelight!

Well, Deepika left no stone unturned when she commented that 'She had made it big without any star connection'!

Now, Bitch has another story to say! According to Bitch, Deepika can get really catty at times, while Sonam is the exact opposite, mild-natured and mellowed down.

The recent news on Sonam Kapoor is that she has bagged a good plum role in Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra's 'Dilli 6'. But, her bad luck continues, as the film is getting delayed and this is surely affecting her stakes in the industry.

All started with a casting problem, with actors from Hrithik Roshan to Akshay Kumar being considered, before Abhishek Bachchan was taken in for the role. Soon after the shoot started, the first Assistant Director of the film decided to take off to the USA, leaving all in the lurch.

The Bitch's source informs, "It was very difficult to continue with the shoot, owing to this sudden departure of the first AD.

Once, while a very important scene of the film was being canned, there was no one to give Sonam her dialogues. And the shot was finalized without Sonam even saying her lines, can you imagine?

Rakesh only realized this later and when Sonam was queried about the same, she simply said that nobody gave them to her."

The Bitch truly feels sorry for the film maker, but Sonam surely needs to pull up her socks and get more professional in her attitude.

Well, is it that Om Prakash Mehra will now face the flak and be at the receiving end, after Sanjay Leela Bhansali paid his huge price?

Sonam Kapoor, Saawariya and next …………

Sonam Kapoor is a new comer in Bollywood film industry. She has caught the interest of cinema lover of bollywood with her first debutant movie Saawariya that will be released on 9^th November 2007. She had visited the different part of India before released the movie to contact with her fans and attended different public functions.

Sonam Kapoor is 22 years old and was born in 9^th June 1985. Her aim is to become teacher, a detective like Nancy Drew, then a dancer, writer and director. But, by nature she becomes an actor.

Although Sonam Kapoor was unknown to all before the forthcoming movie Saawariya but she is from a well know family of Indian film industry. She is the daughter of Anil Kapoo and Sunita Kapoor. You all know the Anil Kapoor is one of the famous actors in bollywood and her uncles Boney Kapoor and actor Sanjay Kapoor have relationship with bollywood too.

Sonam Kapoor’s first film Saawariya is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the film is co-produced by Sony Pictures, Hollywood. Saawariya is the fist movie to be released from Hollywood.

Sonam Kapoor was studded in USA and has no experiences about acting. She was heavy weighed 80+kg. After selection, she had to lose 30 kg weight before shooting.

To lose that weight she had to take help from two experts also her mother. She also worked as the assistant director of Sanjay Leela Bhansali in the movie Black. Sonam Kapoor got the proposal to act on Saawariya when she assisted Bhansali in the movie Black.

As a daughter of a superstar of bollwood, Sonam Kapoor tried to act perfect and if she failed to act prefect during the shooing time of Saawariya she use to cry sometime. Without acting background she has tied to present her role perfectly, its mean that she took it seriously so that she could become famous with the film Saawariya.

Saawariya is a love story and acted as a Muslim girl named Sakina. In the move Saawariya she acted against Ranbir Kapoor who is also a debutant actor. Sonam Kapoor told that she was grateful to act with Ranbir Kapoor in her first film. Important things that Sonam Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor are childhood friends.

Although Sonam Kapoor Sonam Kapoor considers Sridevi as her GOD but she wants to become the next Juhi Chawla. She forbids Sanjay Leela Bhansali as her Guru and Bhansali over and over again name her Sona Bacha.

Every parent becomes anxious for their Childs future and wants success in every step. Here is not difference to Anil Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor. They always helped her like friends to do well in the movie Saawariya.

Sonam Kapoor was totally new in this field of acting and Bhansali tired heart and soul to make her perfect for the role, Sakina. Sanjay Leela Bhansali made her watch the classic movies of Meena Kumari, Nargis and Nutan before the start of shooting for Saawariya. I think he become success because his directed film Saawariya is ready fight with King Khan’s film.

Sonam Kapoor has a great attention on her work. When she assisted Bhansali in his Black, Sonam Kapoor used to observe attentively the acting of Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukherjee.

After her quality work Sonam Kapoor is getting many offers from different directors.
