Sonam Kapoor at an event in Mumbai.
Actress Sonam Kapoor, who would be seen opposite Salman Khan in
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo feels that the presence of the
Dabangg actor will ensure a good opening at box office.
Directed by Sooraj Barjatya,
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo will see Salman and Sonam in leading roles in the family drama, which is set to be released around this Diwali.
When asked whether
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo will make Rs 100 crore at the box office, Sonam said: "I don't even remember what numbers my films do because I really don't think about it too much. I think one film
Raanjhanaa and then
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag has made Rs 100 crores."
"The film stars Salman Khan and I am sure it's going to open (with) ridiculous figures. But you hope it does well for the producers. And I am doing another film with Fox, so it better do well. I work really hard (for the films I do)," she added.
Sonam is also reportedly a part of the Hindi version of Hollywood hit
The Fault in Our Stars, which will be directed by Homi Adajania. Deepika Padukone's name had also reportedly cropped up for the role in the film. (Also Read:

"I guess you are talking about some other actress, why do people get confused. For now I am doing just two films. They are
Prem Ratan Dhaan Payo and a film on Neeraja Bhanot, both are with Fox. So I am set for the next one year at least, after that God knows," she said. (Also Read:
