Sonam Kapoor: Never got a film like Raanjhanaa

Sonam Kapoor will be seen next in the movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, a biopic on legendary athlete Milkha Singh.

Highlights

  • Sonam Kapoor, who is currently basking in the box office success of Raanjhanaa, is immensely pleased with the outcome of the film.
  • "The thing is, I never got to do a role and film like Raanjhanaa. This is the first role since Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi 6 where I got a chance to create a character from the working class," said Sonam.
  • "Not that I don't love every character I play. I've come away from every film with something. But I can only be as good as the material offered and my co-stars. My director and co-star in Raanjhanaa are brilliant," added the actress.
  • Directed by Anand L Rai, Raanjhanaa also featured southern star Dhanush in the lead. Meanwhile, Sonam may not have entered Bollywood with a bang as her debut film Saawariya bombed at the box office, but critics appreciated her work in the film and later they lauded her for her performance in Delhi 6.
  • In six years, Sonam has been part of about a dozen films and admits she has been learning acting on the job.
  • "I am not a trained actor. I learned the basics of acting while doing Saawariya with Sanjay Bhansali. So, he was my acting guru," she said.
  • "I don't follow any technique. I just flow with my character. That's what I did in Raanjhanaa. I surrendered to my director. It was both exhilarating and terrifying. Because I really didn't know where I was heading," she said.
  • Her next release will be Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, a biopic on legendary athlete Milkha Singh.
