Actress Sonam Kapoor has begun shooting for the biopic of Neerja Bhanot, a Pan Am chief purser who was gunned down by terrorists when Flight 73 was hijacked in Karachi in 1986.

Sonam feels humbled to be a part of the biopic, which is ace photographer Atul Kasbekar's debut production.

Kasbekar wished for good luck for the film and tweeted: "#NeerjaBhanot Her story begins today... Wish us luck."

Riteish wrote: "@atulkasbekar congrats my friend -this debut was waiting to happen Mr producer."

"To my @atulkasbekar @findingshanti @piyasawhney!!! May this be all that you hope for it to be :) lots of love and good wishes! #Neerja," Dia tweeted.
