Anil
Kapoor
wooed
Hollywood.
And
now
it
is
his
daughter
Sonam
to
be
wooed
by
the
west.
She
has
been
offered
two
Hollywood
films
in
the
space
of
six
months.
Says
a
source,
"While
in
LA,
Anil
met
Ben
Stiller
to
exchange
ideas
for
a
production
company
they
want
to
launch
together
for
a
joint
production.
During
one
such
talk,
the
actor
told
him
about
his
home
production
Aisha,
starring
his
elder
daughter.
Ben
asked
to
see
the
film's
show
reel
as
he
was
casting
for
the
role
of
Kate
for
his
production
house's
(Red
Hour
Films)
30
million
dollar
film.
Titled
30
Minutes
Or
Less,
it
is
directed
by
Reuben
Fleischer
and
stars
Jesse
Eisenberg
and
Danny
MacBride.
After
Stiller
saw
the
show
reel,
he
sent
an
e-mail
to
Anil
saying
he
thought
Sonam
was
'fantastic'
and
that
he
wanted
to
cast
her."
Anil's
business
manager
Udayan
confirms,
"Yes,
Sonam
has
been
offered
30
Minutes
Or
Less
and
we
are
working
out
the
dates.
It
looks
a
bit
difficult
because
of
her
tight
schedule
as
she's
shooting
for
Thank
You
with
Akshay
Kumar
and
Mausam
with
Shahid
Kapoor
and
promoting
her
next
release
Aisha
but
we
are
still
trying
to
work
it
out."
That
isn't
all.
Within
a
month
of
Anil's
return
to
India,
he
got
a
call
for
another
offer
for
his
beti.
This
time
from
Edoardo
Ponti
(son
of
Sophia
Loren
and
Carlo
Ponti's)
who
just
announced
a
new
project
called
Das
and
wants
to
cast
the
IHLS
girl.
The
film
would
be
made
in
India.
Says
a
source
close
to
Anil,
"Father
and
daughter
are
very
clear
about
their
strategy.
Sonam
is
already
committed
to
three
releases
this
year
--
Aisha
and
Mausam
and
Thank
You.
These
also
include
promotion
for
Aisha.
These
are
commitments
made
earlier
and
no
big
film
can
come
in
the
way
of
that
unless
the
projects
are
really
exceptional."
