Her
debut
movie
is
directed
by
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
and
a
few
days
before
its
release
she
is
offered
a
movie
directed
by
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra
opposite
Abhishek
Bachchan.
Seems
like
a
distant
dream!
But
thats
what
has
happened
with
Sonam
Kapoor.
Just
days
before
the
release
of
Bhansali
directed
Saawariya
where
she
stars
opposite
Ranbir
Kapoor,
the
actress
will
play
the
lead
in
Mehra's
upcoming
movie
Delhi
6.
The
script
for
the
movie
was
narrated
to
Sonam
and
her
dad
Anil
Kapoor
and
the
actress
committed
on
it
immediately.
The
actress
is
believed
to
have
been
promised
a
handsome
pay
for
the
movie.
Incidentally
this
is
the
first
movie
for
Rakeysh
after
the
tremendous
success
of
Rang
De
Basanti.
The
director
took
a
lot
of
time
in
finalizing
the
cast
and
after
considering
Hritik
Roshan,
Akshay
Kumar,
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Siddarth
he
finally
settled
for
Abhishek
Bachchan.
It
is
being
rumoured
that
Kareena
was
considered
for
the
female
lead
but
the
idea
was
dropped
once
Abhishek
was
cast
in
for
the
role.
For
now
Sonam
Kapoor
can
have
no
complaints
with
life.
