Sonam to play blind character

Actor Sonam K Ahuja will play a blind character in the Hindi remake of the 2011 South Korean crime thriller film Blind.

Filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh, who will be the creative producer of the film, said, “Shome Makhija, my friend, is directing the film. It's an out-and-out female-hero story.” The Kahaani director feels that Sonam is the right fit for this role.

Sonam was last seen on the big screen in The Zoya Factor this year. The film failed to receive much critical or commercial impact upon release.

She said, “I haven't done any action and horror films, so these are the two genres I would love to explore.”

‘I was lucky to be part of a team who made me feel comfortable with what I was doing. It was amazing to be among such hardworking people as Sonakshi (Sinha). Playing Gabru in Khandaani Shafakhana was both, difficult and easy for me. The complete transition in the last courtroom scene was the challenge.’

Actor Rakul Preet Singh is excited about her forthcoming cross-border romantic-comedy. She reveals shooting for the yet-untitled film will start later this month.

“The film is in the rom-com space and it is the story of characters who belongs to India and Pakistan, so it’s a cross-border, coming-of-age rom-com,” Rakul said about the film, which sees her team up with Arjun Kapoor for the first time.

The film will be directed by debutant Kaashvie Nair and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Nikkhil Advani and John Abraham.
