"Sonam was an absolute delight to work with, very humble. Her resemblance to Neerja Bhanot had to be seen to be believed. I was aware Sonam would be playing the title role of Neerja and I was simply excited to share screen space with her. I think she is gorgeous and I'm also a die-hard fan of her father (Anil Kapoor)," the actor told PTI

"I thought doing this film just reaffirms that it is about not bowing down. The reason I chose to do this film is because I feel that girls need to have a lot of courage. I think it's commendable. It is an inspiring story for me to do. I am blessed," Sonam said
