For Sonam Kapoor, Rekha was a Class Apart in Khubsoorat

For Sonam Kapoor, Rekha was a Class Apart in Khubsoorat

Sonam is full of praises for Rekha's role in Khubsoorat

Highlights

  • Actress Sonam Kapoor, who has stepped into Rekha's shoes for the remake of Khubsoorat, says she is not even a patch on the senior actress who is still remembered for effortlessly playing a chirpy and carefree girl in the original.
  • In the remake, which releases on September 19, Sonam will romance Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Afzal Khan.
  • "I don't think I can do justice to anything Rekha has done," said Sonam and added that for her it was more important to be part of a film that has some meaning and message.
  • Directed by Shashanka Ghosh, the new Khoobsurat has been produced by Sonam's father Anil Kapoor and sister Rhea under their banner Anil Kapoor's Film Company Pvt Ltd.
  • "These days very few films mean something, have great values and at the same time are lots of fun. Hrishikesh Mukherjee was one of the last few directors who made films like Guddi, Mili and Khubsoorat that actually had the vibes which appealed to everybody, had a message and was a happy and fun film."
  • "Rajkumar Hirani is making such films these days. Khoobsurat is another such movie which I am part of," said the 29-year-old.
  • Good cinema doesn't have to be dark or depressing.
  • "I don't think a good film is something that is dark or dying, I think it can be light also. We are going through too much in India and cinema has always been my happy space and this is my ode to Hrishikesh Mukherjee," said the actress.
  • Have you shown the trailer to Rekha?
  • "Rekha is very close to my family. She had even seen Aisha and we had kept a separate trailer launch for her. For this film too, we are going to show her the trailer," said the actress.
