Kapoor,
who
reprises
the
role
that
Rekha

in
its
remake,
says
she
sought
the
blessings
of
the
veteran
stunner
before
beginning
to
shoot
for
it.
"I
got
her
blessings
for
the
film
I
am
doing;
I
met
her
at
the
Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan
premiere
and
that's
when
she
told
(blessed)
me," Sonam
said
here.
"We
are
just
taking
the
spirit
of
the
character
and
putting
it
in
a
modern
way.
We
are
modernising
it
and
just
keeping
the
spirit
of
the
girl.
We
are
not
sticking
to
the
same
story
line,"
she
added.
The
original
film,
directed

Mukherjee,
also
starred

very
excited
to

He

an
absolute
genius.
The
