Says Sonam, `I was in negotiations with Soorajji for the last four months. We've finally worked out all the modalities.And, yes I am doing the film.I'll be getting into the film as soon as I finish shooting Arbaaz Khan's Dolly Ki Doli.`
The actress who went into the next level of her career last year with her career-making performance in Aanand Rai's Raanjhanaa says she is really excited about the challenge. `I've grown up watching Soorajji's films.To be actually working in his film is a very exciting prospect for me.It's doubly exciting as I'll get to star with Salman Khan for the second time.`
Sonam started her career with Salman Khan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya. She recalls the association with much fondness. `People seem to remember that I was paired with Ranbir Kapoor in Saawariya. They forget my character was actually in love with Salman .In fact my character chose in the end to go with Salman rather than Ranbir.Salman and I had shot together for Saawariya for thirty days.`
With Sonam Kapoor stepping into Sooraj's film the project finally seems to have found its bearings. One hears Sonam would be presented in the film as consummate susheel, sanskari, chulbuli and chatpatti Barjatya heroine, a la Bhagyshree in Maine Pyar Kiya, Madhuri Dixit in Hum Aapke Hain...Koun, Karisma Kapoor in Hum Saath Saath Hain, Kareena Kapoor in Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon and Amrita Rao in Vivaah.
