Sonam Kapoor to work with director Shashanka Ghosh yet again

After working with Shashanka Ghosh on successful movies like Khoobsurat (2014) and the recently released Veere Di Wedding, Sonam Kapoor might team up with the director once again for their third venture.

According to reports, Ghosh is contemplating to helm a gangster-drama, which he had planned almost eight years ago. He wants to revive the project with Sonam Kapoor headlining the cast.


"Eight years ago, I had wanted to meet Sonam for a gangster-drama with an Alice In Wonderland (2010) vibe which would be shot at Ramoji Rao Film City in Hyderabad. It would have showcased her in a never-seen-before femme fatale avatar but the project was put on the backburner. I plan to revive it. I see Sonam as the perfect Alice!" says the director.

Praising Sonam, Shashanka says, “Sonam always says that she is my muse and she is right. She is an intelligent woman who understands screenplay well. So, I have to give her a role she can’t turn down. Sonam doesn’t get enough credit as an actor because she has an equally gigantic fashion image."
