Sonam Kapoor Plays Sania Mirza
Filmmaker Anees Bazmee’s who is known for some of the biggest hits in Bollywood, has found an apt subject in Sania Mirza for his next film.The ace tennis sensation, surrounded by much controversy will be soon be portrayed by Sonam Kapoor in Bazmee’s next ‘Thank You’. The film is set to be a romantic comedy.
It is to hit floor in mid April and shoots are to be done in Canada. Even though the director is denying that Sania is the subject of his film, the striking similarities between Sonam’s role and Mirza’s life make Bazmee’s assertions tough to believe.
Just like Sania, Sonam plays a young, attractive tennis champ and falls in love with a guy, who is completely wrong for her. She soon realizes her mistake and turns back before it’s too late. Remember Sania calling off her engagement to Sohrab Mirza earlier this year before news of her impending marriage to Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik?
Talking about the news, director Bazmee said, “Sonam does play a tennis champ, and Akshay Kumar plays a guy who’s seeing 30-35 girls at the same time, until he meets Sonam. Though he gives up flirting, he’s not particularly serious about Sonam too. It’s a funny take on courtship.”
