Bollywood actress and fashionista, Sonam Kapoor, has always been in news for her unique style sense but this time she has gained the spotlight for signing Shashanka Ghosh’s Khubsoorat. This film will be the remake of 1980 hit Khubsoorat which is known for its classic comedy and has also won a Filmfare Best Movie Award. The 27-year-old will portray Rekha in the film and will play a vivacious and fun-loving girl, just as in its original part. The actress told that she got the blessings of Rekha at the premiere of Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Sonam informed about the film that the story line will be different from its original.

"We are taking the spirit of the character and giving it a modern setting. We are modernising it, we are taking the spirit and energy of the girl but we are not sticking to the same story line. We are making it more current and new," said Sonam. The film will be produced by Sonam’s father Anil Kapoor and her sister Rhea. The actress expressed her excitement saying, "I am very excited to work with Shashank Ghosh, who made two fantastic films, which are hatke, he started the trend. He is one of my dream filmmakers with whom I wanted to work". The film will begin its shoot in August.
