Mehra took almost a year to get a male actor for his semi-autobiographical film that will be set in Delhi’s Chandni Chowk area. As many as seven actors were considered and then dropped (some opted out) from the project before Mehra’s search ended at Abhishek Bachchan .
Now, Sonam Kapoor , the debutante of Saawariya , has reportedly bagged the female lead role in the film.
Reports have it that Sonam and her dad Anil Kapoor sat for a script-hearing session and they liked the subject. Anil apparently gave his go-ahead to Sonam for the film.
However, she is yet to sign on the dotted line.
This augurs very well for Sonam’s acting career. She has already worked with one of the best Bollywood directors in her first film. Now, she is set to be directed by the man who gave us Rang De Basanti .
Sonam Kapoor paired with Abhishek Bachchan
