Anil Kapoor ropes in award winning writer for Ayesha

When it comes to his daughter, Bollywood actor-producer Anil Kapoor wants the best. He has roped in award-winning writer Manu Rishi to pen dialogues for Sonam Kapoor’s next film ‘Ayesha’.

Based on Jane Austen’s “Emma”, “Ayesha” is a romantic comedy about an ultra modern girl who is wooed by three men. While Sonam is playing the female lead, Abhay Deol, Arunoday Singh and VJ Cyrus Sahukar will woo her in the movie. The film is being produced by Sonam’s sister Rhea under their father’s banner.

For the movie, Delhi boy Rishi had to pen "sophisticated" lines - a complete change from what he wrote for the earlier film “Oye Lucky Lucky Oye”

In ‘Oye Lucky...’, the language was very, very West Delhi sorts and the protagonists were not very well read. But in ‘Ayesha’, the characters are from the up market Defence Colony; they are from English medium schools, etc.

The film has been written by Devika Bhagat with Ritu Bhatia.

Sonam Kapoor wants Shah Rukh Khan

Sonam Kapoor may have done just two films but she is very selective with her roles. Sonam however is ready to make exceptions if a role is opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

Sonam had teamed up with Ranbir Kapoor in her debut film "Saawariya" and her second project was "Dilli 6" opposite Abhishek Bachchan. She is now looking forward to share screen with superstar Shah Rukh Khan. "He is one man for whom I will be so very willing to ignore my rule book. I would be more than happy to go ahead and sign a film if Shah Rukh happens to be my hero," says Sonam.

However apart from SRK, Sonam certainly has her set of do’s and don’ts. She doesn’t intend to do films where all she has to do is to dance in four songs and enact a couple of emotional scenes.

It is expected that Sonam’s next will be for her dad’s production house. The film is named "Ayesha" and is based on Jane Austen’s novel "Emma". Sonam will be seen in a completely new ultra-chic avtar. The film will feature Abhay Deol and newcomer Arunodoy Singh.

Sonam Kapoor is also considered by Kunal Kohli for his next film that would be directed by his assistant Danish Aslam.
